The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles fight to keep their 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference quarterfinal hopes alive against the streaking PLDT High Speed Hitters.
The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles will look to pull off an upset and extend their 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference campaign, as they battle the PLDT High Speed Hitters in the qualifying round at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Tuesday, March 4.
The Thunderbelles finished the preliminaries with a 4-7 record as the no. 9 seed. They face a tough challenge against the fourth-seeded High Speed Hitters, who went for a sweep in their last encounter on February 22 in Passi, Iloilo.
Michelle Gamit will be crucial in anchoring ZUS Coffee’s defense alongside key contributors like Jovelyn Gonzaga, Thea Gagate, and Cloanne Mondonedo.

The Thunderbelles will need a much-improved performance to match up against the firepower of the High Speed Hitters.
A victory will send ZUS Coffee to a best-of-three quarterfinal series against Choco Mucho, while a loss will drop them to the play-in stage, where they must survive against Chery Tiggo to keep their season alive.
