MANILA, Philippines — Savi Davison led PLDT in exacting a sweet revenge on Reinforced semifinal tormentor Akari as her main focus was bringing back her team’s winning ways in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.

Davison, who was sidelined in the Reinforced Conference last year, shone in their grudge match against Akari, pouring in a game-high 15 points in their dominant 25-22, 25-16, 25-15 win on Saturday at Philsports Arena.

“That’s all I wanted to do was to help the team with whatever I can give in any way possible. I know it was difficult for us to get through that last year, but coming back strong and taking them in three (sets) really meant a lot for us,” said Davison.

The Filipino-Canadian spiker was sidelined with a knee injury when PLDT fell to Akari in a heartbreaking five-set loss marred by a controversial unsuccessful video challenge for a net fault five months ago.

It was a point that could have sent PLDT to its first-ever finals had it not been for the hotly-contested call.

But just like her teammates, Davison meant business in bouncing back from back-to-back losses last year as they rose to a 4-2 record.
