ZUS Coffee brews five-set escape vs. Capital1 for first PVL On Tour win

PVL

ZUS Coffee pulled away late to deny Capital1 its breakthrough, pulling off a 20-25, 26-24, 23-25, 25-18, 15-11 victory in the 2025 PVL On Tour on Sunday at the Ynares Center Montalban. 

The Thunderbelles did what it fell short of yesterday when they absorbed a five-set loss to Akari to open their campaign in the preseason tournament. 

Veteran opposite spiker Jovelyn Gonzaga provided the finishing kick, converting a kill from the right side that fueled a 4-1 rampage that allowed ZUS Coffee to take the match point at 14-10. 

Sydney Niegos tried to rally Capital1 by unleashing a strong hammer from the opposite side, but Gonzaga punished the single block of Shola Alvarez to unleash the final blow and tow the Thunderbelles to the win column.
