PVL Draft: AC Miner Excited to Play with Former Rival, Thea Gagate

The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) recently held its annual draft, and one of the most anticipated moments was the selection of AC Miner by ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles. In an exclusive interview immediately following the draft, Miner expressed her elation at being chosen, particularly at the prospect of playing alongside former UAAP rival Thea Gagate. "I'm very excited to be teammates with Thea, especially since she was last year's first-round pick," Miner shared. The Thunderbelles further surprised the league by drafting the injured but highly skilled Riza Nogales in the third round, a move that significantly bolsters their front line. Adding to the emotional significance of the event, Miner's father was present to witness her success. "Having my dad here makes me very happy," she stated, emphasizing the importance of family support in her career. The draft highlights the exciting potential of the PVL season ahead, and Miner's enthusiasm promises an engaging season for the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles.
