Villareal, who suited up for the Defenders in what turned out to be their second and last conference, joins ex-F2 Logistics mainstays Aby Maraño and Ara Galang as the club's latest signings.
"Brave soul spotted. Another product of the green and gold strengthens the 'Be Brave' blood within the Chery fam! Welcome to the Chery Tiggo Crossovers, Nette Villareal," the Crossovers wrote.
Meanwhile, the Highrisers picked up a huge veteran boost to their defensive core in multi-awarded libero in Eroa.
LOOK:
"Digging deep, rising high! Thrilled to announce and welcome Alyssa Eroa to the Galeries Highrisers! Eroa joins [Juliet] Catindig in the defensive front for the upcoming PVL conference. Wishing you an incredible season ahead," said the Highrisers on Monday afternoon.
The former San Sebastian standout is a three-time NCAA women's beach volleyball champion and two-time NCAA best libero on top of winning top libero honors for third-placers Lady Shoemasters in the inaugural MPVA season last year.
