The Petron Blaze Spikers[1] is a professional women volleyball club playing in the Philippine SuperLiga (PSL). The team is owned by Petron Corporation. The company's involvement in volleyball began in 2002, when it established the Petron Ladies Beach Volleyball Tournament.
Team history
Petron became the first team to sweep a PSL tournament with a 13-0 record and claim the 2015 All-Filipino championship, its second consecutive PSL title.[2][3][4] At their stint in the 2015 Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship in Ha Nam, Vietnam, the team finished at 8th place with only 1 game won out of 6 matches played.
On September 12, 2016, the team parted ways with coach George Pascua. He was replaced by Cesael "Shaq" delos Santos.[5]
