The Creamline Cool Smashers aim to snap a two-game skid as they take on the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles in the 2025 PVL Invitational on Friday, August 29, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
Already assured of a bronze medal match appearance on Sunday, the Cool Smashers will look to rebuild momentum after back-to-back losses against the Chery Tiggo Crossovers and Kobe Shinwa University.
Anchored by veteran leaders Alyssa Valdez, Jema Galanza, and Michele Gumabao, Creamline is determined to sharpen its form before the medal round.
Middle blockers Pangs Panaga, Sheena Toring, and Mich Gamit will also be key into unlocking the Cool Smashers’ deadly form amid their struggles as of late.
