The PLDT High Speed Hitters opened their 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference on a strong note after making quick work of the Nxled Chameleons in four sets, 25-15, 25-17, 22-25, 25-22, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

The High Speed Hitters played spoiler to Italian coach Ettore Guidetti’s debut for the Chameleons.

After faltering in the fourth set, PLDT came right back and had its way against Nxled blasting to a 15-6 lead behind the returning Savi Davison and Dell Palomata.

The Chameleons managed to trim the lead to just two at 20-22. But in the end, the High Speed Hitters proved to be too much as Davison sealed the victory with an emphatic cross court kill.

Rookie setter Angge Alcantara was hailed the Player of the Game after orchestrating the team's offense with 13 excellent sets.

Up next for PLDT will be Galeries Tower next Tuesday, Nov. 19 at the Ynares Center Antipolo. Nxled, meanwhile, will look to bounce back against ZUS Coffee also on the same day.
