Davison, PLDT crush Nxled
Alta Sports8 hours ago
Savi Davison had another impressive outing to cap PLDT’s first-round campaign with a 25-22, 25-21, 25-20 rout of the winless Nxled in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference on Friday at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.
Davison dropped 19 points built on 14 kills, three blocks, and two aces, while also providing a steady floor defense, 10 digs and nine excellent receptions.
With the Filipino-Canadian hitter leading the way anew, PLDT finished Pool A tied with Farm Fresh at 4-1 and will face the bottom three of Pool B, Galeries Tower, Chery Tiggo, and either Petro Gazz or Akari.
“One of our main reminders going into this game was to learn from our last loss. We didn’t want to have another slow start. We knew Nxled wouldn’t make it easy, especially now that their import is really performing well. So our mindset was to stay patient and focus on how we could limit their import’s production,” said PLDT coach Rald Ricafort.
