In ‘urgent’ Reinforced conference, strong start may hold key
The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Reinforced Conference begins Tuesday at the Ynares Center in Montalban, Rizal, with ZUS Coffee facing Akari in the opening Pool B match.
Both ZUS Coffee and Akari are aiming for a strong start to redeem themselves after disappointing performances in previous tournaments.
ZUS Coffee has bolstered its lineup with the addition of American import Anna DeBeer, an outside hitter from the University of Louisville who previously played for Indy Ignite and tallied 172 points.
She is joined by Thea Gagate, who returns to the ZUS Coffee roster after suiting up for Alas Pilipinas.
Akari is leaning on American import Annie Mitchem, a journeyman whose career has spanned multiple countries.
ZUS Coffee aims for a victory against Akari and a successful campaign in Pool B, which also features strong teams like Chery Tiggo, Creamline, Galeries Tower, and Petro Gazz.
