The Chery Tiggo Crossovers bank their grit and experience as they face the unbeaten PLDT High Speed Hitters in the winner-take-all PVL on Tour Finals.
The Chery Tiggo Crossovers look to draw from their championship pedigree as they battle the unbeaten PLDT High Speed Hitters in the PVL on Tour Finals on Sunday, August 17, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Back in 2021, the Crossovers etched their name in league history after stunning Creamline in a five-set thriller to capture the PVL's first professional crown. That title run continues to inspire the franchise as it makes its return to the biggest stage.

This time, Chery Tiggo leans on the leadership of captain Aby Maraño and veteran ace Ara Galang, alongside reliable scorers Cess Robles and Imee Hernandez, plus the emergence of rookie sensation Renee Peñafiel.
The road wasn’t easy as the Crossovers dropped back-to-back games late in the preliminaries. Still, Chery Tiggo regained form in the playoffs with emphatic wins over Galeries Tower, Nxled, and Cignal to secure their Finals berth.
