The Cignal HD Spikers aim to build on their momentum and secure a quarterfinal berth as they take on the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference play-in tournament.
The Cignal HD Spikers look to secure their place in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference quarterfinals as they take on the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles in the play-in tournament at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Tuesday, March 11.
After dispatching the Capital1 Solar Spikers in four sets, the HD Spikers are banking on their momentum to overpower a determined Thunderbelles squad.
Vanie Gandler spearheaded the attack in their previous match, firing a game-high 21 points built on 20 kills and a block while also contributing 14 excellent receptions.
Roselyn Doria-Aquino provided a strong presence at the net, tallying 18 points off 13 attacks, three blocks, and two aces.
The two are expected to lead the charge once more for the HD Spikers in their playoff push.
A victory will earn Cignal a best-of-three quarterfinal showdown against no. 2 seed Petro Gazz Angels.
On the other hand, a loss could see ZUS Coffee head to the next round—should they also win their last match against Capital1.
