Veteran Rachel Ann Daquis returns to the Premier Volleyball League after signing with the Farm Fresh Foxies, the team announced Friday, Oct. 25.
The charming Daquis, 36, is expected to provide stability with her vast experiences for the Foxies, who have been injecting veterans in their young roster.
“The Queen is back. It’s been said a couple of times before: Farm Fresh needs a veteran outside hitter who can lead the team to greater heights,” Farm Fresh wrote on a social media post.
“And that’s exactly what we got. Join us as we welcome another PH volley icon into the Farm Fresh fold, Rachel Anne Daquis.” it added.
Daquis took a break from the sport in 2024 to focus on her business. She played for Cignal for six years, leading the team to four third-place finishes and a runner-up spot in the 2022 Reinforced Conference.
She started her career in the then Shakey’s V-League, earning accolades that include Finals MVP in the Season 8 Open Conference and becoming a multi MVP winner in Season 11, taking home both the Finals MVP for the First Conference and the Conference MVP title in the All-Filipino Conference.
The 5-foot-10 hitter will join forces with her former teammate and long-time Cignal libero Jheck Dionela, as well as Fil-American Alohi Robins-Hardy.
