Phillips played in South Korea last season and rejoined the Angels late in the PVL All-Filipino Conference, where they finished with a bronze medal.

Although she will be missing the action for a number of games, the Filipino-American middle blocker is excited for her teammates led by returning Cuban Wilma Salas and PVL All-Filipino MVP Brooke Van Sickle.

“I’m good so far. I’m excited that PVL is starting up again and just seeing great volleyball, especially since it’s import season right now,” Phillips said. “I’m excited because I finally get to see them live in action again. Practice could be a different environment so I think all our hard work will show up right now.”
