After a rare opening-day setback, Alyssa Valdez and the Creamline Cool Smashers now take on rival Petro Gazz in the 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference.
The defending champion Creamline Cool Smashers aim to rebound from an opening-day setback when they take on the Petro Gazz Angels in the 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference on Tuesday, October 14.
First serve is schedule for 6:30 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Creamline suffered a historic first loss to the Akari Chargers in five sets, with import Courtney Schwan putting up 26 points and Alyssa Valdez leading the local contingent with 18 markers.
Despite the defeat, the Cool Smashers received a boost with the return of three-time Conference MVP Tots Carlos, who scored 12 points after recovering from a knee injury, though she entered the game as a substiture in the final two sets.
Creamline will look to Valdez, Schwan, and Carlos to stabilize the offense and guide the Cool Smashers past a strong Petro Gazz side that comes in unbeaten at 1-0.
The team will be seeking to regain momentum and prove that they remain the squad to beat in the Reinforced Conference.
