Solar Spikers sign 8 players to bolster lineup

Capital 1 has made significant roster moves for the 2026 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) season, signing eight new players. The headlining acquisition is former Ateneo de Manila University standout Pauline Gaston, who previously played for Chery Tiggo and helped lead that team to a third-place finish in the 2024 PNVF Champions League. The 28-year-old is noted for her versatility, capable of playing both middle blocker and winger positions.

Joining Gaston from Chery Tiggo are her former teammates Shaya Adorador and Jas Nabor. The team also strengthened its middle-blocker rotation by acquiring Chery Nunag from Choco Mucho and Ezra Madrigal from Akari. Nunag expressed her enthusiasm for joining the young team, citing its potential and shared desire for growth, and pledged to contribute her experience, consistency, and disciplined mindset.

To boost its offensive firepower, Capital 1 added hitters France Ronquillo and Ysa Jimenez, who were key attackers for Galeries Tower last season. The team also addressed its floor defense by signing former Nxled libero Rachel Jorvina, who will share the libero position with Roma Mae Doromal.

Capital 1, which joined the PVL in 2024 and finished seventh in both the 2024 and 2025 Reinforced Conferences, is aiming for a major improvement this season with its revamped roster.
