The Akari Chargers closed out their first conference in the Premier Volleyball League on a winning note, pulling off a four-set stunner over F2 Logistics on Tuesday evening at the Araneta Coliseum.
The Chargers gave their beloved import, Prisilla Rivera, a triumphant exit as they outlasted the Cargo Movers, 25-21, 22-25, 26-24, 25-22.
Akari will finish the PVL Reinforced Conference with a 3-5 win-loss record. It was a costly defeat for the Cargo Movers, who dropped to 3-3 in the tournament and failed to build on their big win over league-leading Creamline last week.
Prisilla Rivera's 32-point explosion carried Akari to a 25-21, 22-25, 26-24, 25-22 victory over F2 Logistics
The three-time Olympian from the Dominican Republic went out on a high, scoring on 29 attacks and three blocks as the Power Chargers concluded their maiden season in the pro league with their third win in eight games.
At the same time, Akari stalled F2 Logistics' march to the playoffs, dropping the Cargo Movers to a three-way tie with Cignal and Choco Mucho at 3-3.
