SAVI Davison's PVL comeback can't get any better than this.
The Fil-Canadian spiker doesn't look like someone who is coming off a conference-long break, leading from the front in PLDT's 25-17, 25-20, 25-17 sweep of winless Capital1 on Tuesday at the Philsports Arena.

Davison scored 17 points with seven receptions in only her third game back since taking a four-month rehabilitative layoff after undergoing a procedure to clean up one knee where she suffered an ACL tear seven years ago.
PLDT won each of those three PVL All-Filipino Conference games.
“I don’t think there’s much difference," said Davison. "Now that I’ve completed rehab and I’m back in day-to-day practice, it’s more just about becoming the player that they need me to be and less so much focus on myself."
Davison is also getting plenty of help from a team that narrowly missed a first-ever PVL Finals appearance after losing to powerhouse Creamline in a playoff marred by a controversial finish due to an official's call.
Fiola Ceballos went on a tear on both ends for the High Speed Hitters with a double-double of 11 points and 16 receptions. Team captain Kath Arado had 14 digs and seven receptions to neutralize another near triple-double for Heather Guino-o with her 10 points, 10 receptions and seven digs.
Davison likes what she sees in her team
“Our preparation was really nice. We need to know how to adjust to certain teams. We just show up everyday working harder than the last," she said. “As a team, we’re just growing in general as a group.
"Give us more time and we’ll see how it goes.”
