Rivera sets scoring record as Akari stays alive Akari muddled up the 2022 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference semis race by upending Choco Mucho in a thriller of a five-setter, 23-25, 25-21, 25-19, 21-25, 15-12, Thursday at the Filoil Ecooil Centre. Heavy-hitting Prisilla Rivera banged away a league-record 44 points and drew solid backup from Erika Raagas, Janine Marciano, Krich Macaslang and Geneveve Casugod as the Chargers snapped a three-game skid, including a five-set defeat to the first semifinalist Chery Tiggo Crossovers, to keep their hopes alive at 2-4 (win-loss) with two elims games left against the PLDT High Speed Hitters (1-3) and the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers (2-2). The loss dropped the Flying Titans to 2-3. -PVL.PH
