MANILA, Philippines – Prisilla Rivera gave her all to end Akari’s first Premier League season.

The Dominican scored 32 points as Akari also raced to stun Kalei Mau-less F2 Logistics, 25-21, 22-25, 26-24, 25-22, during the 2022 PVL Boost Conference on Wednesday Three at Smart Araneta Coliseum .

Rivera made 29 kills and 3 blocks, including big hits in the 4th set that limited their win, preventing the Cargo Movers from getting close to the semi-finals.

The three-timer scored four of his five spike attempts to give Akari a 23-20 lead in the fourth inning. But Lindsay Stalzer’s miss and an attacking error by Rivera shortened the advantage to one, 23-22.

Rivera stopped bleeding from the back row to score the match, 24-22, followed by Stalzer’s strike as the ball went out.

Janine Marciano and Erika Raagas assisted Rivera a lot as they brought in eight points each with four crucifixes behind, while Jho Maraguinot and Ezra Madrigal added six.

Setter Jaja Maraguinot made an excellent 19 sets with 4 points from two aces, while libero Rachel Jorvina defended the floor with 21 digs and 12 excellent catches as Akari finished the tournament with a 3-5 record. .

F2 Logistics dropped to 3-3 with Choco Mucho and Cignal in fourth with two spots remaining in the semifinals. Creamline (6-1) and Chery Tiggo (5-2) took the first two tickets, while third seed Petro Gazz (4-2) was just one win away from getting a third place.

Stalzer and Ivy Lacsina led the Cargo Movers with 17 points each as Mau wore streetwear due to calf problems. Kianna Dy has 11 points, while Shola Alvarez fills in with Mau with six points and 11 digs.

Dawn Macandili had 24 digs and 16 catches in an effort not to be outdone. F2 Logistics need to win their last two games against Cignal on Saturday before wrapping up the knockout round against Petro Gazz next Tuesday.
