The Cignal HD Spikers look to close out their remaining games in the preliminary round on a strong note as they next face the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The Cignal HD Spikers will bank on its rising star Ishie Lalongisip to lead the team against the dangerous ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles in their upcoming 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino clash at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Thursday, February 13.
Lalongisip has been vital to Cignal’s renewed campaign after the sudden departure of veterans Ces Molina and Riri Meneses.
Since starting for the team, the 23-year-old spiker has been putting up double-digit performances consistently, even leading to her first PVL Player of the Week citation.
