Creamline and Petro Gazz headline a no-margin-for-error 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference quarterfinal slate featuring four knockout showdowns with all eight teams fighting for survival.
The 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference quarterfinal picture is officially set, featuring four high-stakes knockout pairings as the league shifts into win-or-go-home mode.
Farm Fresh, ZUS Coffee, PLDT, and Creamline finished as the Top 4 teams after the eliminations, while Akari, Capital1, Cignal, and Petro Gazz round out the playoff picture.
Below is the complete quarterfinal lineup:
(1) Farm Fresh Foxies vs (8) Akari Chargers
The Foxies capped its best conference in team history with a 7–1 record, showcasing a balanced attack powered by Eli Rousseaux, Alohi Robins-Hardy, and Ces Molina.
The Chargers enter as the underdog but remain dangerous with Annie Mitchem and Eli Soyud capable of exploding at any moment.
(2) ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles vs (7) Capital1 Solar Spikers
The Thunderbelles continue their meteoric rise behind import Anna DeBeer, Clo Mondoñedo’s steady playmaking, and AC Miner’s wall-like presence.
The Solar Spikers counter with star import Sasha Bytsenko and rookie superstar Bella Belen, making this one of the most intriguing battles of the round.
(3) PLDT High Speed Hitters vs (6) Cignal Super Spikers
Even after losing their final group stage match, the High Speed Hitters remain one of the tournament’s most complete teams, led by Savi Davison and import Anastasiia Bavykina.
The Super Spikers, rejuvenated behind Erika Santos and Katrin Trebichavska, are the lower seed nobody wants to face in a sudden-death setting.
(4) Creamline Cool Smashers vs (5) Petro Gazz Angels
A rivalry renewed with no margin for error.
The Cool Smashers lean on Courtney Schwan, Alyssa Valdez, and Tots Carlos, hoping to defend their crown.
Meanwhile, the Angels are looking dangerous by the day with Brooke Van Sickle, MJ Phillips, and Lindsey Vander Weide finally finding their deadly form.
What’s next?
Quarterfinal matches will begin on Monday, November 24, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
Winners move on to the semifinals, while the losers end their Reinforced campaign.
