MANILA — Her stint may have been cut short, but Russian spiker Marina Tushova certainly made a mark in her first stint in the Premier Volleyball League.

Tushova took the league by storm with her scoring prowess and professionalism, turning Capital1 into a contender that stunned some of the PVL’s established powers.

Though she fell short of carrying the Solar Spikers to the semifinals, Tushova still put on one last show as she once again reset the PVL’s scoring record by dropping 50 points in their quarterfinal showdown against Cignal HD.

Tushova was outstanding in their five-set marathon against the HD Spikers, which eventually resulted in a 19-25, 34-36, 25-16, 25-22, 12-15 defeat on Saturday night at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.

It was the third time in the Reinforced Conference that Tushova had reset the league’s scoring record — a feat that earned her the final citation as the PVL Press Corps Player for the Week, for the period of August 20-24.

This marks the third time that Tushova received the recognition given by print and online reporters covering the PVL, which is streamed live and on-demand via the Pilipinas Live App and www.pvl.ph.

Tushova further endeared herself to Filipino volleyball fans after she expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to showcase her talents and establish Capital1 as a competitive club despite their young history in the league.

“The team is so sad, for real. But it’s a great lesson for us. And always, our lose games, you always learn more from lost games than from won games. So, today it was like this and I’m so happy. Cignal did a great job. Congratulations to the team. I wish them good luck for the semifinals,” said Tushova, who is set to play in Azerbaijan next.

Tushova first shattered the two-year scoring record set by Dominican Prisilla Rivera of 44 by a point in a five-set win over Choco Mucho last August 3.  She erased it a week after with a 49-point explosion over Nxled in another five-setter.

Against the No. 2 seed HD Spikers, the 6-foot hitter submitted 47 attacks, two kill blocks and a service ace, she laced with 16 excellent receptions and 12 digs for an all-around game.

Tushova bested Oly Okaro of unbeaten Akari, Creamline’s Erica Staunton, PLDT’s Lena Samoilenko, Wilma Salas of Petro Gazz, and Cignal’s Gel Cayuna and Riri Meneses for the weekly plum.

She finished with a total of 301 points on top of bringing Capital1 to its first-ever playoffs stint following a one-win debut in the All-Filipino Conference.

“I hope that fans enjoyed this game. I saw that my team enjoyed this game, too. I gave everything for this game. We need just a little bit more. And this… I don’t care about my record today. I wanted our team to win, unfortunately,” she said.

“I hope we will have another opportunity. I hope that I will come back here to play again. And I hope that I will be better next year. And I hope that Capital1 will improve too. And I hope that I can bring something more to this team, this amazing team.”
