Perennially out of playoff contention in its first two PVL conferences, ZUS Coffee has a golden chance to play in an entirely different environment.

The Thunderbelles can step into the quarterfinal picture for the first time once they accomplish the mission of beating the Capital1 Solar Spikers on Thursday in the All-Filipino Conference play-in round at 6:30 p.m. at PhilSports Arena in Pasig.

“This is going to be a big game as we aim for the quarters. We’re going all out on this one,’’ said Chai Troncoso, the team’s catalyst in hurdling a formidable hump in Pool A of the play-in tournament.

MANILA, Philippines — Chai Troncoso haunted her former team Cignal to put ZUS Coffee a win closer to a breakthrough playoffs appearance in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.

Troncoso, flourishing as a Thunderbelle, hammered out 21 points including the last two winning points to deny Cignal from claiming the last quarterfinal ticket with a 19-25, 25-23, 25-20, 23-25, 15-12 win in their play-in game on Tuesday at Philsports Arena.

She may be a thorn in the side of Cignal, but all her learnings from her former team helped her lead a young ZUS Coffee squad to overcome a five-set thriller.
