The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles look to secure their first-ever PVL quarterfinal appearance as they battle the Capital1 Solar Spikers in a pivotal play-in tournament clash at the PhilSports Arena on Thursday, March 13.

Fresh off a stunning five-set upset over the Cignal HD Spikers, the Thunderbelles now controls their own destiny in Pool A.

A victory—regardless of the number of sets—will send ZUS Coffee to the quarterfinals, where the No. 2 seed Petro Gazz Angels await in a best-of-three series.

Riding high on momentum, the Jerry Yee-led squad is determined to replicate its dominant performance against Capital1 from the preliminaries, where it secured a commanding straight-sets win last January.

For the Thunderbelles, this match is not just about advancing—it’s about making franchise history.

Tip-off is set at 6:30 p.m.
