The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles continue to chase their first win in the 2025 PVL Invitational as they take on the Chery Tiggo Crossovers on Tuesday, August 26, at the PhilSports Arena.

Despite falling to Cignal in four sets, the Thunderbelles found a bright spot in Chai Troncoso, who delivered 16 points, while Kate Santiago added 14 markers to keep them competitive.

ZUS Coffee, however, continues to miss several of its mainstays in Thea Gagate, Jovelyn Gonzaga, Chinnie Arroyo, Cloanne Mondonedo, and AC Miner, forcing head coach Jerry Yee to rely heavily on his younger rotation.
