Career
Collegiate
The UST Golden Tigresses had Pacres as a player at the UAAP volleyball championships.[3] She largely played a support role to more established players for Season 79 and 80. Eya Laura's arrival in Season 81 initially relegated Pacres to the bench, but Milena Alessandrini's injury rendered back Pacres to Tigresses' first three.[4]
Early club career
Pacres competed outside the PVL while still in college. She was the main player for the Power Smashers in 2017 of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).[5] Pacres last played for the Tacloban Fighting Warays of the PVL and the Marinerang Pilipina Lady Skippers of the Philippine Super Liga in 2018.[6][7][8] She featured for Team Red in a PVL All Stars game against Team Blue in February 2019.[9]
Hiatus (2018–23)
After her PVL stint in 2018, Pacres was forced to a hiatus. The PVL became fully professional in 2021. Pacres received multiple offers from teams to return to the league including Peak Form,[6] which ultimately forego its participation in the 2021 PVL Open Conference.[10]
Return
Pacres made her return to the PVL after she joined newly formed team Galeries Tower Highrisers in September 2023.[7] The Galeries debuted at the 2023 Second All-Filipino Conference[11]
