The Creamline Cool Smashers look to clinch a quarterfinal berth and extend their win streak, renewing the rivalry with the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the PVL Reinforced Conference.
The Creamline Cool Smashers look to seal their quarterfinal spot as they renew their rivalry with the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference on Thursday, November 13, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
With the Cool Smashers needing just one more win to officially advance to the quarterfinals, the stakes are high against the Flying Titans in a must-win situation to keep its playoff hopes alive.
Despite being sister teams, both sides have built one of the league’s most intense rivalries — and this latest chapter promises to be no different.
Veteran middle blocker Pangs Panaga has played an essential role for Creamline throughout the conference, finishing with 12 and 16 points in the team’s back-to-back victories.
Her quick attacks and blocking presence have added depth to a lineup already anchored by team leaders Alyssa Valdez, Tots Carlos, and Michele Gumabao.
Import Courtney Schwan has also been in fine form, giving the Cool Smashers an additional scoring weapon and solidifying their balanced offense.

A win for Creamline not only secures a quarterfinal berth but also strengthens its bid for a top-tier finish and a more favorable playoff seeding.
With pride, history, and playoff implications on the line, the Cool Smashers aim to deliver a statement win and continue their surge toward another deep postseason run.
The Creamline–Choco Mucho showdown serves as the main event of Thursday’s triple-header at 6:30 p.m. at the Big Dome.
