PVL Media Bureau</div>MANILA — Akari moved closer to a quarterfinals berth after sweeping also-ran Nxled, 25-13, 25-17, 25-22, in their sister team affair in the 2025 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Reinforced Conference on Thursday at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.It was a bounce-back win for Akari after losing two straight games.Import Annie Mitchem paved the way for the straight-set triumph, unleashing 22 points on 19 attacks, two blocks, and one ace; Grethcel Soltones registered  a double-double of 12 points and 11 excellent digs; while Mars Alba steered that offense with 21 excellent sets and added three points.&quot;Actually we got a really, really, really nice recovery. But even though marami pa rin kaming lapses from the past games, we still have to improve &#x27;yung mga small balls namin. But I&#x27;m really happy we recovered and we played well against Nxled,&quot; said coach Tina Salak during the postgame press conference.&quot;Medyo half-hearted ako kasi &#x27;yung team ko before was Nxled. Still, iba na &#x27;yung mission namin today,&quot; Salak added.The Chargers had to stop a resistance from the Nxled side in the third frame after they squandered a nine-point lead, 19-10, and allowed the latter to be within two, 21-19.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/volleyball/2025/11/13/pvl-cignal-deals-zus-coffee-s-first-loss-improves-quarterfinals-bid-1524">READ: PVL: Cignal deals Zus Coffee&#x27;s first loss, improves quarterfinals bid</a></div>But Salak&#x27;s wards finally came through as they reached match point, 24-21, thanks to an Ezra Madrigal drop ball hit. Paola Martinez answered back with an off-speed kill to save one match point, 24-22, but Alba was there to set up Ced Domingo&#x27;s running attack, clinching the match after one hour and 23 minutes.Akari won in all three scoring departments: 48-26 in attacks, 3-0 in blocking, and 8-5 in service aces, offsetting 21 errors given out to Nxled.On the other hand, Martinez and Chiara Permentilla paced the green-and-white jerseys with 10 points each.
