PVL preview: What comes next for ZUS Coffee after breakthrough season?
The ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles are entering the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference with heightened expectations following a breakthrough 2025 season, aiming to prove they can remain title contenders even without their star import, Anna DeBeer. The team is no longer in a position to surprise opponents and must now demonstrate it can sustain its high level of performance under increased scrutiny.
The 2025 season represented a significant turning point for the franchise. While the team finished 7th in both the All-Filipino Conference and the PVL On Tour, its run to 2nd place in the Reinforced Conference redefined the Thunderbelles as legitimate contenders on the verge of a historic championship.
To reinforce this breakthrough, ZUS Coffee made targeted offseason roster moves. Key additions include Rachel Anne Daquis, Cess Robles, Ren Penafiel, Karen Verdeflor, and Chie Saet. The team also saw several key exits, such as Shayra Ancheta, Julia Angeles, Gayle Pascual, and Dolly Versoza. The franchise's ability to transition from success in the Reinforced Conference to consistent contention in the All-Filipino format will define the next phase of its rise.
