The Galeries Tower Highrisers look to pull off the biggest upset in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference when they go toe-to-toe with the Creamline Cool Smashers.
The Galeries Tower Highrisers will look to close their 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino preliminaries campaign with a huge victory against the defending champions Creamline Cool Smashers at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Thursday, February 20.
Having lost their last five games, the Highrisers are in desperate need of a win before the qualifying round.
Sitting at 10th place in the standings, a win for Galeries Tower will give them a big boost should they face the third-seeded Cignal HD Spikers.
The Lerma Giron-led squad will be spearheaded by Jho Maraguinot and Ysa Jimenez, who turned in respectable performances in their last match against the Petro Gazz Angels.
Defense will also be key for the Highrisers with team captain Alyssa Eroa leading the charge.
Eroa, who has been the team’s consistent bright spot in the conference, remains second among Best Diggers with 4.41 excellent digs per set.
