The Akari Chargers aim to show continued progress as they face the Cignal Super Spikers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The Akari Chargers look to build on their first win as they face the Cignal Super Spikers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Saturday, February 28, at the FilOil Centre in San Juan.
Still working their way up the standings, Akari has shown signs of improvement after a difficult start, leaning on better coverage and more composed stretches in recent outings.
The Chargers are fresh off their first win in the conference after taking down the Nxled Chameleons in four sets.
Akari has relied on a collective approach, with Ivy Lacsina, Ced Domingo, and Grethcel Soltones carrying much of the scoring while the rest of the lineup looks to provide consistent support.
One player expected to contribute to that effort is Chennie Tagaod, who brings energy and activity across rotations.
Tagaod’s presence off the bench has helped the Chargers stay competitive in longer rallies, particularly on the defensive end, where extra touches have allowed the offense to reset.

Against a disciplined Cignal side, Akari knows patience and coverage will be critical.
For the Chargers, the goal is straightforward—stay within head coach Tina Salak's system, limit errors, and turn steady play into another step forward in the All-Filipino tilt.
First serve is set for 4:00 p.m.
