Carlos, Petro Gazz’s MJ Phillips, and Chery Tiggo’s Mylene Paat went undrafted in the 2024 Korean Volleyball (KOVO) Women’s Asian Quota Draft on Wednesday at Jeju Sun Hotel in South Korea.
Carlos and Paat attended the two-day tryouts, while Phillips was exempted from attending the tryouts as she already played one season in the league after a stint with Gwangju, which placed seventh with a 5-31 record.
Creamline has to win its remaining semis matches including Sunday’s match against Chery Tiggo at Smart Araneta Coliseum to reach the PVL Finals.
