MANILA — Ara Galang is not minding the fatigue brought upon by back-to-back Premier Volleyball League (PVL) tournaments.
Showing strength in playing in the 2025 PVL on Tour and 2025 Invitational, Galang expressed in powering through exhaustion, asserting that all teams are undergoing the same challenge.
The Crossovers participated until the PVL on Tour Final last Sunday, and only had four days of rest as the Invitational opened on Thursday.
Chery Tiggo finally regained its winning ways after overcoming Creamline this Saturday, 25-20, 24-26, 21-25, 25-17, 17-15, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.

"'Yung pagod kasi, nandiyan talaga eh, kasama 'yan. Naglalaro kami eh. Lahat naman pagod eh, pati yung kalaban namin," said Galang.
"Kailangan lang ma-overcome 'yun. Kailangang i-set aside namin 'yung pagod. 'Yung laro namin, ilaban namin kung hanggang anong kaya namin," the De La Salle University alum added.
The Crossovers' win today was their way of redeeming themselves after absorbing a second straight loss, both at the hands of the High Speed Hitters.
"Bounce back lang talaga 'yung kailangan namin ngayon eh. Hindi kami kailangang mag-dwell du’n sa big loss namin. Kailangan naming ma-redeem sarili namin," she said.
"Bumalik lang kami, mas naging composed kami at [bumalik] yung teamwork din namin."
