Akari’s Ivy Lacsina named PVL Player of the Week for March 10 to 14

The Akari Chargers have staged an impressive turnaround in the ongoing Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference, bouncing back from a three-game losing streak to register four consecutive victories and climb to fifth place in the standings.

At the heart of Akari’s resurgence has been the stellar play of star outside hitter Ivy Lacsina, whose consistency and leadership on the court have been pivotal for the Chargers. Lacsina was once again a force for her team in their hard-fought 25-21, 26-24, 17-25, 25-21 triumph over the Creamline Cool Smashers on Saturday, March 14, at the FilOil Centre.

The 26-year-old finished with a team-high 20 points, coming from 18 attacks, one block, and one service ace, effectively ending Creamline’s five-game winning streak and keeping Akari’s hopes alive for a Top 4 finish in the preliminary round. Her standout performance did not go unnoticed, as she was named Ivy Lacsina PVL Press Corps Player of the Week for March 10 to 14—a recognition awarded by journalists covering the country’s premier professional volleyball league.

“Siguro sa akin po, with the guidance na rin po ng mga coaches. Kasi sila talaga ‘yung nagsasabi na, ‘Oh, kalma.’ Parang kapag medyo mataas na ‘yung emotion namin, sila talaga ‘yung nagma-manage no’n,” Lacsina said in a media interaction.

The outside hitter also emphasized her commitment to continuous improvement, no matter how well she performs in a given game.

“Siyempre, every day naman, kahit na nananalo ako, lagi ko pong sinasabi, kahit sa ibang interviews ko na, every day, lagi dapat may space sa akin para sa bagong learning. So, hindi ‘yun nawawala sa akin, kasi may gusto pa akong ma-achieve,” she added.

Lacsina’s determination and consistent output have been a major factor in the Chargers’ climb up the standings, giving them momentum as the conference reaches a critical stage. With the preliminary round still in full swing, Akari will need her leader at her best as they prepare to face the Galeries Tower Highrisers on Tuesday, March 17, at the Santa Rosa Multi-Purpose Complex.

As the PVL All-Filipino Conference heats up, all eyes will be on Lacsina and the Chargers to see if they can continue their winning streak and secure a strong position heading into the playoffs. With her leadership, skill, and mindset focused on growth, Lacsina could once again play a defining role in her team’s campaign.
