Zus Coffee ended their run in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference with a 0-8 record. The Thunderbelles take a moment to honour Asaka Tamaru, their remarkable Japanese import, whose commitment and play shine throughout the conference.
Asaka Tamaru, encountered several difficulties in the conference due to the language barriers that made it complicated to her local teammates. Despite the language barriers, the outstanding skill of Tamaru makes the Thunderbelles strong throughout the conference.
The team captain of Zus Coffee Cloanne Mondoñedo said “Sobra kasi si Asaka sa amin kahit medyo mahirap sa amin yung communication, talagang tinatry niya yung best niya makipag communicate sa amim”
Despite the losses of the Thunderbelles, Cloanne Mondenedo was satisfied with their development and suggested areas for improvement. “Maturity talaga sa game kasi nandyan naman dumidikit naman kaya lang talaga sa huli talagang kinakapos kami lagi.”
As they get ready for the All-Filipino Conference. The addition of former Green Archers, Thea Gagate is expected to bring significant impact to the Thunderbelles in the next conference.
