Jema Galanza, Alyssa Valdez, and Michele Gumabao look to steer the Creamline Cool Smashers back to their winning ways as they battle the unbeaten Chery Tiggo Crossovers in a crucial PVL on Tour Pool B clash on Sunday, July 20.

Match time is 6:30 p.m. at the Passi City Arena.

The Cool Smashers, the league’s most dominant team, find themselves in unfamiliar territory after a shocking five-set defeat to ZUS Coffee. 

Now, Creamline must dig deep and count on its championship pedigree to bounce back against a rising Chery Tiggo squad brimming with confidence.

Veterans Galanza, Valdez, and Gumabao are expected to take the offensive reins once more, especially with Creamline aiming to steady the ship and stay in contention in the preseason showcase.

Standing in their way is a young and hungry Chery Tiggo team, unbeaten in the pool and eager to make a statement. 

Rookie Renee Peñafiel has been one of the revelations of the tour, delivering an 18-point performance against Cignal and now eyeing a breakout outing against a proven title contender.

With momentum on Chery Tiggo's side and experience on Creamline’s, the matchup sets the stage for a gripping showdown — one that could define both teams’ fates in the PVL on Tour.
