ANTIPOLO — Bella Belen delivered a career-best performance to power Capital1 past Akari in a thrilling five-set battle, 28-26, 22-25, 25-15, 23-25, 21-19, in the 2026-27 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference Siklab series on Thursday at the Ynares Center here.
Determined to bounce back from a painful five-set loss to Choco Mucho on the league’s opening day in Cebu, the Solar Spikers avoided a repeat of their collapse after surrendering a 2-0 lead in that defeat, holding off a determined Chargers side that was also looking to rebound from its opening-day loss to Creamline.
With the hard-earned victory, Capital1 improved to 1-1, while Akari suffered its second straight defeat to fall to 0-2.
