Savi Davison carried PLDT to a hard-fought 25-17, 23-25, 27-25, 21-25, 15-10 victory over Farm Fresh, firing 32 points to secure the High Speed Hitters’ solo first place in the 2026 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference at the Filoil Centre in San Juan on Thursday.
Davison’s scoring came on 28 spikes, three blocks, and an ace, while she also contributed 13 excellent receptions and 12 excellent digs, proving instrumental in a match that lasted two hours and 26 minutes.
“Proud lang ako sa naging pagsagot namin dun sa challenge. Yung maturity na sinasabi ko sa kanila tuwing may ganitong situations, sumakto today. Nandun lahat nung breaks, nandun lahat nung bad calls, nandoon yung coming-from-behind saka ayun nga, mahirap yung fifth set eh. So, very happy kami na na-recover namin,” said PLDT head coach Rald Ricafort.
