Brooke Van Sickle of the Petro Gazz Angels makes history as the PVL’s first-ever Season MVP

The Petro Gazz Angels stunned a crowd of 10,000 fans at the Philsports Arena on Saturday, February 12, by defeating Premier Volleyball League (PVL) powerhouse, the Creamline Cool Smashers, to win their maiden All-Filipino Conference crown.

Central to Petro Gazz’s championship win was the performance of star spiker Brooke Van Sickle, whose stellar play earned her the All-Filipino Conference Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. This marked Van Sickle’s second consecutive MVP title in the All-Filipino Conference, making her the first PVL player to win back-to-back MVP honors since Tots Carlos of Creamline, who accomplished the feat in the 2022 Open Conference and the 2023 First All-Filipino Conference.

Van Sickle is again set to make history, as the American-Filipino superstar will receive the first-ever Season Most Valuable Player award at the inaugural Pilipinas Live PVL Press Corps Awards Night.
