MANILA, Philippines — ZUS Coffee shoots for the eighth and last quarterfinals seat as it clashes with Capital1 today in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference at the PhilSports Arena.

The Thunderbelles shocked the fancied Cignal HD Spikers, 19-25, 25-23, 25-20, 23-25, 15-12, Tuesday to stay in contention for a seat in the best-of-three quarters against the Petro Gazz Angels.

But ZUS would have to hurdle Capital1 in their 6:30 p.m. duel to make it a reality.

A setback though would create a three-way tie in Pool A with Cignal to emerge on top with the highest FIVB tiebreak points.

Nxled and Farm Fresh, meanwhile, face off in a non-bearing contest in Pool B at 4 p.m.

Volley Notes: PLDT has joined Creamline and Petro Gazz as the country’s representatives to the Asian Volleyball Confederation Women’s Champion’s League after the AVC granted a third slot to the Philippines which will host the event from April 20 to 27 at the PhilSports Arena.
