The Pocari Sweat Lady Warriors are a professional women's volleyball team playing in the Shakey's V-League. The team is owned by Federated Distributors, Inc., exclusive distributors of Pocari Sweat in the Philippines.

History

The team debuted in the Philippine Superliga (PSL) in 2014 as the original Mane 'n Tail Lady Stallions.[1] The following season, the team changed its name to the Philips Gold Lady Slammers,[2][3] while a new team assumed the Mane 'n Tail name.

On April 4, 2016, the team officially announced it will join the Shakey's V-League[4] and play as the Pocari Sweat Lady Warriors.[5]

On July 18, 2016, the Lady Warriors won the Shakey's V-League 13th Season Open Conference championship, beating the Philippine Air Force Jet Spikers in a best-of-three finals series.[6] This was the team's first title.
