JC Enarciso steered Savouge to victory, tallying 14 excellent sets on top of two points as the Spin Doctors utilized their combination plays to neutralize ProVolley's height advantage.
"Sabi ko naman sa kanila, as you can see, more combination plays 'yung ginamit namin today. Kasi in terms of height, medyo lugi talaga kami, kaya sabi ko fast plays, combination plays – so happy naman ako sa result," said Savouge head coach Sydney Calderon.
Hero Austria topscored with nine points despite playing only in the third set, while Shawie Caritativo, Mark Calado, Renzel Antonio and Daniel Nicolas contributed six points each.
Next up for Savouge is a showdown against defending champion Cignal HD Spikers at 3 p.m. on Monday.
Meanwhile, ProVolley Academy fell to 0-2 after also absorbing a straight-sets loss to Kindai U on Friday.
Filipino spiker Jude Aspero led the Australians with seven points and 16 excellent receptions, while team captain Samuel Hansen and Isaac Relova added six markers each.
