A quick bounce-back is on the crosshairs as Akari faces off with Petro Gazz in the 2022 PVL Reinforced Conference Saturday at the Sta. Rosa Sports Complex in Laguna.
Still licking the wounds of a tough five-set loss to Chery Tiggo yesterday, the Chargers look to forget everything and move on against the defending champion Angels.
Game time is at 2:30pm, with Petro Gazz favored over the newcomers.
Akari, however, is not expected to roll over and die, especially after a vintage performance by Janine Marciano, who delivered 24 whopping attacks against the Crossovers.
Marciano will hope to provide ample support for foreign reinforcement Prisilla Rivera, who has been a consistent offensive and defensive presence for the Chargers throughout the tournament.
If Akari will beat the Angels, however, they would need more production from their other spikers like Erika Raagas, Trisha Genesis, Lycha Ebon and Jhoana Maraguinot, and more importantly, stable reception from the likes of Dani Ravena and Bingle Landicho.
