BaliPure acquires Maraguinot

MANILA, Philippines — BaliPure has acquired former Ateneo star Jhoana Maraguinot to further beef up its roster for the Premier Volleyball League set to start March 3 in Lipa City.

The power-hitting outside spiker, who will turn 26 tomorrow, was enlisted by the Purest Water Defenders after her former squad Perlas took a leave of absence.

Tapped earlier were Janine Marciano, Julia Ipac and Rapril Aguilar from Cignal, Alyssa Eroa from PLDT, Marian Buitre from Chery Tiggo, Jamie Lavitoria from Choco Mucho, and veteran Patty Orendain.

The recruits will join holdovers Alina Bicar, Gyra Barroga, Bernadette Flora, Carlota Hernandez, Satriani Espiritu and Genevive Casugod.
