The Cignal HD Spikers will enter the qualifying round of the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference with the no. 3 seed after blasting past the Akari Chargers in straight sets, 25-17, 25-15, 25-21, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Tuesday, February 18.

Dominant from start to finish, the HD Spikers pulled away in the third frame, leading by as many as seven points at 22-15, behind the strong efforts of Gel Cayuna, Judith Abil, and Vanie Gandler.

Despite Akari’s efforts to mount a comeback, Cignal proved to be too much as Jackie Acuña’s running attack sealed the dominant win.

Rose Doria-Aquino was hailed the Player of the Game with 12 points on nine attacks and three blocks. Vanie Gandler had a game-high 15 markers, while Ishie Lalongisip added 10 in the win.

As the third seed, Cignal will likely face the current 10th-seeded Galeries Tower Highrisers in the qualifying round.
