MANILA -- Former UST Golden Tigresses Imee Hernandez will now be donning new colors after signing with the Chery Tiggo Crossovers in the Premier Volleyball League, the team announced on Sunday.

The middle blocker is joining former National University stars Princess Robles, Joyme Cagande, and Jennifer Nierva as the newest members of the squad.

Hernandez announced on her social media accounts last Thursday that she will now leave UST to play professionally and forgo her remaining playing years with the team.

"Now that I am done with my studies, with you by my side, I am more than ready to face the bigger challenges that lie ahead as I continue to pursue my passion for the game of volleyball on a grander stage and under brighter lights. I have decided to go professional," she wrote.
