The Creamline Cool Smashers aim to kickstart their 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference campaign with a statement victory over the Akari Chargers on Saturday, October 11, at the City of Dasmariñas Arena.

Coming off back-to-back bronze medal finishes, the defending champions are looking to reignite their dominance, led by their new American import Courtney Schwan, who will bolster an already-talented lineup. 

The Cool Smashers already boast stars like Alyssa Valdez, Michele Gumabao, Pangs Panaga, and Tots Carlos, who has been cleared to play after her knee injury.

With their depth and experience, Creamline remains one of the favorites for the title and will have all the tools to reclaim the top spot in the league.
