The Chery Tiggo Crossovers will also aim to break another winning streak of the Creamline Cool Smashers, as they collide in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The Chery Tiggo Crossovers aim to play spoiler and snap the Creamline Cool Smashers’ 17-game unbeaten run, when they face off in a crucial 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference clash on Thursday, February 6, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.
No team in PVL history has been more successful at stopping Creamline’s dominant streaks than the Crossovers.
The Cool Smashers’ two longest winning streaks—25 games from 2019 to 2021 and 19 games from 2023 to 2024—both ended at the hands of the Crossovers.
Now, Chery Tiggo (5-4) has another chance to disrupt Creamline’s historic run and regain momentum after a tough four-set loss to the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles.
Chery Tiggo will challenge the defending champion by relying on its battle-tested core of Ara Galang, Cess Robles, Shaya Adorador, and Aby Maraño.
Robles and Galang have been reliable scorers for the Norman Miguel-led squad, ranking seventh and eighth among Best Scorers with 131 and 126 points, respectively.
The potential debut of Risa Sato—ironically against her former team—could also provide a much-needed boost to the Crossovers’ front line, who will miss middle blocker Cza Carandang.
Sato’s potential first game in a Chery Tiggo uniform could come against the very team she helped win multiple PVL titles.

With the playoff race tightening, Chery Tiggo is determined to bounce back and make another statement against the league leaders.
The highly anticipated matchup begins at 4:00 p.m.
