The Akari Chargers will seek a podium finish to their 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference as they battle the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in Game 1 of their best-of-three series for the bronze medal at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao on Tuesday, April 8.

Falling short of making the Finals, the Chargers want to repeat their success over the Flying Titans during the semifinals, when they escaped with a five-set victory.

During that match, Eli Soyud exploded for a career-high 34 points, while Faith Nisperos came up clutch and delivered the winning attacks in the final frame.

They are expected to lead the charge alongside Ivy Lacsina, Grethcel Soltones, and Ced Domingo. Team captain and setter Mich Cobb will also be counted upon by coach Taka Minowa to spearhead the offense.

Tip-off for Game 1 of the bronze medal series between Akari and Choco Mucho is set for 4:00 p.m.
