The Chery Tiggo Crossovers are determined to snap their two-game losing skid as they take on the Creamline Cool Smashers in the 2025 PVL Invitational on Saturday, August 23, at the PhilSports Arena.

After a tough five-set defeat to the PLDT High Speed Hitters in the PVL on Tour Finals and a straight-sets loss to the same squad in the Invitational opener, the Crossovers are hungry to get back on track. 

With a win, Chery Tiggo could vault into second place in the standings and stay in the hunt for one of two Finals slots.

The return of ace libero Jen Nierva from Alas Pilipinas duties provides a boost to Chery Tiggo’s defense, while Cess Robles, Ara Galang, and Shaya Adorador remain the team’s primary scoring threats. 

Steering the offense will be veteran playmaker Alina Bicar, tasked with maximizing the squad’s balance and firepower against the Cool Smashers’ deep lineup.

The Chery Tiggo-Creamline battle is set for 6:30 p.m.
