CHERY Tiggo acquired the services of former NCAA MVP Mary Rhose Dapol in their build-up for the PVL Reinforced Conference set for next month.
The Crossovers announced on their social media account the arrival of Dapol, who was named MVP for the Lady Altas in the 98th season.
“(Perpetual) Help is on the way,” Chery Tiggo said. “Time to make the switch from Foton blue to Chery red official as former NCAA MVP Daps Dapol joins the Chery fam.”
The 5-foot-7 outside hitter is no stranger to the PVL wars as she previously played for Chery Tiggo’s defunct sister team, the Foton Tornadoes last year as a special guest player.
Dapol finished as the sixth best scorer with a total of 142 points and tallied a 31.16% spiking success rate for Perpetual last season.
Last Wednesday, Chery Tiggo revealed its import for the upcoming contest, tapping American spiker Katherine Bell.
The 6-foot-2 power-hitting spiker returned to the country after four years, playing from 2018 to 2020 in the defunct Philippine Superliga for the Petron Blaze Spikers.
Meanwhile, PVL had drawn 47 aspirants for the league’s forthcoming inaugural Rookie Draft set on July 8.
From a total of 50 applicants, the list was clipped to 47 with La Salle standouts in middle blocker Thea Gagate, setter Julia Coronel, outside hitter Maicah Larroza, and opposite spike Leila Cruz headlining the historic proceedings.
Two abroad-based Filipinas in Aleiah Torres of Brock University and Nathalie Ramacula of Red River College Polytechnic are also trying to get their luck.
The two-day Draft Combine is set to commence on June 25 to 26 at the Gameville Ballpark in Mandaluyong.
