The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles are hoping to continue their momentum heading into 2025 as they face the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino resumption.
The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles return to action in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference with a lot to prove as they take on the Choco Mucho Flying Titans at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Saturday, January 18.
With a growing sense of confidence, the Thunderbelles look to carry their momentum into the new year as they face a dangerous and hungry Flying Titans squad.
In its last outing before the break, ZUS Coffee nearly pulled off a stunning upset against the Creamline Cool Smashers, pushing the perennial favorites to five sets.
Spearheading the Thunderbelles' charge were veteran leader Jovelyn Gonzaga and star rookie Thea Gagate, whose all-around contributions have been pivotal in changing the team’s direction after going winless in the previous conferences.
Gagate has emerged as a defensive anchor at the net while also contributing crucial points on offense. Her synergy with Gonzaga and the rest of the team has fueled ZUS Coffee’s steady improvement despite their modest record.
