Brooke Van Sickle joins elite group after winning third PVL MVP award

The Petro Gazz Angels solidified their status as one of the Premier Volleyball League’s (PVL) elite teams by defeating the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles 21-25, 28-26, 25-23, 25-20 before a packed Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, November 30, to claim the 2025 Reinforced Conference title—marking the franchise’s third overall championship.

Once again, Petro Gazz’s top performers rose to the occasion in the Finals. Lindsey Vander Weide led the charge with 23 points, while Brooke Van Sickle added 20 and Myla Pablo contributed 14 to seal a memorable victory.

Van Sickle, in particular, has cemented her reputation as the league’s current standout and one of PVL’s all-time greats. The 27-year-old was named the Reinforced Conference’s Most Valuable Player (MVP), adding to her previous MVP awards from the last two All-Filipino Conferences. With three PVL MVP honors, she joins an elite group alongside Creamline Cool Smashers’ Alyssa Valdez and Tots Carlos.
