History

The team was created by Rebisco for the 2019 Premier Volleyball League season acquiring the seniors of the 2019 Ateneo Lady Eagles volleyball team together with their coach, Oliver Almadro who won UAAP Season 81 volleyball tournaments. Madayag, De Leon, Tolentino and Gequiliana were joined by the players of the disbanding United Volleyball Club from the Philippine Super Liga. The team was triumphant for their debut as they swept BaliPure Purest Water Defenders in their first game for the 2019 Premier Volleyball League Open Conference last August 14, 2019.^[2] They were seventh, winning 6 games out of 16. The team, led by Madayag, had a 6-game winning streak for the comeback in the 2021 Premier Volleyball League Open Conference. They defeated the PLDT High Speed Hitters, Santa Lucia Realtors, BaliPure Purest Water Defenders, Cignal HD Spikers, Perlas Spikers, and Philippine Army Lady Troopers in the eliminations giving away only two sets. They only lost twice in the eliminations to Creamline Cool Smashers and Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Crossovers, whom they faced off in the Semi-Finals. They ranked fourth in the 2021 Premier Volleyball League Open Conference after losing to Petro Gazz Angels in the battle for bronze.
