MANILA, Philippines — Despite absorbing their seventh loss in eight games, the Capital1 Solar Spikers found positive energy in Shola Alvarez, who made her debut in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
Alvarez made the most of her start in the third set scoring seven points on a 6-of-12 spiking clip only for Capital1 to be swept by Akari, 9-25, 17-25, 24-26, on Saturday at Philsports Arena.

“Wala akong ginawa kung hindi mapagaan lang yung pakiramdam namin sa loob kasi sobrang stiff na e. Sinubukan ko lang na tulungan yung bawat isa na mapagaan yung pakiramdam nila sa loob para makakilos kami,” Alvarez told reporters.

“Masaya siyempre kasi kahit na paano nakatulong ako sa team and happy ako na kahit papaano nakatulong ako na gumaan yung pakiramdam namin.”
The former NCAA MVP out of Jose Rizal University said it was Lord’s will to make this game as her debut this six-month conference, hoping to keep contributing to the reeling Solar Spikers.

“Naka-contribute ako kahit pa paano sa game namin today. Malaking bagay na yun kahit pa papaano. Kinapos kami pero mas kailangan pa dagdagan namin yung mga kailangan namin iimprove sa loob ng court,” she said.
Capital1 seeks to bounce back against Cignal on Thursday next week with Alvarez urging her young teammates to keep on fighting.
“Kailangan namin ilaban yung natitira naming games, babalik kami sa training paghihirapan ulit namin kung ano yung kailangan naming bagay na kinapos kami,” Alvarez said.
