The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles could finish as the sixth seed if they win their final preliminary game against the PLDT High Speed Hitters in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles will wrap up their 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino preliminaries campaign as they take on the PLDT High Speed Hitters at the City of Passi Arena in Iloilo City on Saturday, February 22.
Hoping to end their two-game losing skid, the Thunderbelles enter the match with a point to prove against the streaking High Speed Hitters.
A win for ZUS Coffee, along with a loss for the Chery Tiggo Crossovers, could see the Thunderbelles climb to the sixth spot heading into the qualifying round.
The Thunderbelles are currently ninth with a 4-6 record, meaning a loss could see them face the High Speed Hitters once more in the next round.
