The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles look to improve their standing and build momentum with a statement win against the Chery Tiggo Crossovers in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles look to further climb in the standings as they take on the Chery Tiggo Crossovers in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Thursday, January 30.
The Thunderbelles are coming off a confidence-boosting victory over the Capital1 Solar Spikers and are eager to prove they can compete with the league’s top contenders.
With a mix of experienced leaders and promising talents, ZUS Coffee, which sits with a 3-4 record, looks to shake up the standings as the knockout phase nears.
Veterans like Jovelyn Gonzaga bring poise and leadership while rising star Thea Gagate continues to make an impact on offense and defense.
The prized middle blocker is currently second among the Best Blockers with 19 total blocks and an average of 0.68 rejections per set.

With the stakes high and momentum on their side, the Thunderbelles are ready to rise to the challenge when the action begins at 4 p.m.
