The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles aim to bounce back and gain a winning rhythm as they face the Galeries Tower Highrisers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles look to regain their winning form as they face the Galeries Tower Highrisers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Saturday, Feb. 7, at the Ynares Center in Montalban.
After absorbing a four-set loss to the Capital1 Solar Spikers in their season opener, the Thunderbelles enter the matchup eager to rediscover the rhythm that fueled their breakthrough Reinforced Conference run last year.
Despite the early setback, ZUS Coffee remains confident in the core that carried them deep into contention just months ago.
A key figure in that response is outside hitter Chinnie Arroyo, who had 11 markers in the loss. Much will be expected of Arroyo and the rest of the Thunderbelles’ spikers after they struggled to generate points at times vs. Capital1.
With middle presence from Thea Gagate and Riza Nogales, as well as support from Jovelyn Gonzaga, ZUS Coffee aims to avoid another slow start to secure the team's first win in the conference.
First serve is set for 4:00 p.m.
