ZUS Coffee fought through grueling five-set matches, including a dramatic reverse sweep of the Choco Mucho Flying Titans to secure their spot in the quarterfinals.
Key to their success is top scorer Chinnie Arroyo, but Fiola Ceballos has quietly become an indispensable piece for ZUS Coffee.
Already a crucial match, Ceballos will have extra fuel as she faces her former team, which she left for during the offseason.
With Jovelyn Gonzaga and Chai Troncoso providing veteran presence, setter Cloanne Mondonedo running the offense, and rising talents like Kate Santiago and rookie AC Miner stepping up, ZUS Coffee enters the match with a chip on their shoulder.
The ZUS Coffee-PLDT showdown is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
