Petro Gazz aims to reclaim the PVL Reinforced Conference crown as the Angels go into the high-stakes Finals showdown against giant-killer ZUS Coffee.
A familiar powerhouse seeks to reclaim its place atop the PVL mountain as the Petro Gazz Angels battle the surging ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles in the winner-take-all 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference Finals on Sunday, November 30, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Armed with a championship pedigree and a reinforced core that thrives under pressure, the Angels enter the Finals with their eyes firmly set on a third Reinforced Conference crown.
Leading that charge is Brooke Van Sickle, whose explosive scoring, tireless work rate, and emotional fire continue to define Petro Gazz’s identity this season.
Van Sickle, who has been at the center of the Angels’ resurgence, now finds herself on the cusp of a historic family milestone — playing for a PVL title under her parents, head coach Gary Van Sickle and assistant coach Lisa Van Sickle.
Supporting her is a deep and experienced lineup featuring import Lindsey Vander Weide and MJ Phillips. Veterans Myla Pablo, Jonah Sabete, and rookie setter Jules Tolentino round out a unit that thrives in both long rallies and high-pressure moments.

For Van Sickle and the Angels, this isn’t just about another trophy. It’s about restoring the franchise’s Reinforced Conference dominance and reclaiming the championship they once owned.
The championship showdown will begin at 5:00 p.m. and will be available on Pilipinas Live.
