In the opening game, Akari copped its breakthrough victory after surviving Gerflor, 25-20, 22-25, 27-25, 25-27, 15-12 to end its three-game losing skid.

The Chargers were led by the rookie-veteran duo of Faith Nisperos and Dindin Santiago-Manabat with the former finishing with 18 points alongside 14 digs and six receptions while the latter churned out 17 markers.

F2 joined defending champion Creamline as the early semis contenders with the other two cast to be determined later today. The local semifinalists will be joined by the two foreign guest teams from Japan and Vietnam, the Kurashiki Ablaze and Kinh Bac-Bac Ninh.
