Stalzer jumps ship to F2 Logistics

MANILA, Philippines – Lindsay Stalzer, the comely American import who led Petron to a title, had formally crossed the enemy line.

In a social media post, Stalzer announced that she is set to play for Petron's chief rival in F2 Logistics when the Philippine Superliga Grand Prix fires off next month.

The move is filled with drama.

Stalzer is largely credited for Petron’s dominance in the import-flavored conference after pairing with Hillary Hurley and Katherine Bell to win the title last year.

But after the Blaze Spikers decided to recall Bell and pair her with another power spiker in Stephanie Niemer, the 6-foot-1 former Most Valuable Player was left unsigned.

Then, the Cargo Movers came calling.

“I’ll be playing for F2 Logistics in the PSL Grand Prix this spring,” said the pretty former Bradley University star in her Instagram account.

This is not the first time for Stalzer to don F2 Logistics’ jersey.

In fact, she was one of the seven foreign players who reinforced the seven local stars – or the Magnificent 7 – in the FIVB Women’s Club World Championship in Manila in 2016.

And she believes that joining the Cargo Movers – the team she faced in the finals for the past two years – is like a reunion of sorts.

“My last time suiting up for this, I had an incredible experience at the World Club Championships in 2016,” said Stalzer, who is set to play for her fourth squad in this prestigious women’s club tourney.

“Looking forward to wear yellow jersey again.

Prior to Stalzer’s hiring, the Cargo Movers tapped a seasoned Italian-American spiker in Becky Perry to serve as import.

Stalzer and Perry are tipped to provide firepower for the Cargo Movers, who will be bannered by national team mainstays Cha Cruz, Aby Marano, Kim Fajardo, Kianna Dy, Dawn Macandili, Majoy Baron as well as star spiker Ara Galang.
