The Chery Tiggo Crossovers look to turn heartbreak into motivation as they chase revenge against the PLDT High Speed Hitters in their 2025 PVL Invitational Conference opener on Thursday, August 21, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.

The Crossovers are fresh from a runner-up finish in the PVL on Tour, their first finals appearance since their championship breakthrough in the 2021 Bacarra bubble. 

Though they fell short against PLDT, Ara Galang rose to the occasion with 22 points in her first PVL final, while Cess Robles and Renee Peñafiel gave all-around support.

Imee Hernandez and Aby Maraño also made their presence felt on the net, as they are expected to be key factors in Chery Tiggo’s revenge game.
