The Choco Mucho Flying Titans look to stay alive in the playoff race as they face rivals Creamline Cool Smashers in a must-win PVL Reinforced Conference showdown.
The Choco Mucho Flying Titans look to stay alive in the playoff race as they clash with the Creamline Cool Smashers in the 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference on Thursday, November 13, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
Currently at 2-4, the Flying Titans find themselves in a must-win situation to keep their fading quarterfinal hopes alive.
Coming off a four-set loss to unbeaten ZUS Coffee, Choco Mucho is determined to rediscover its winning form in the league’s most anticipated rivalry matchup.
Maddie Madayag, the team’s defensive anchor, is coming off a stellar performance against ZUS Coffee, where she tallied an incredible 10 blocks, tying the highest single-game outputs in the PVL.
Her dominant presence at the net will once again be crucial as the Flying Titans try to contain Creamline’s deep offensive arsenal led by Tots Carlos, Michele Gumabao, and import Courtney Schwan.
Despite the recent skid, Choco Mucho remains dangerous. Import Marlee Smith hopes to finally provide her steady scoring, while veterans Kat Tolentino, Des Cheng, and Isa Molde are expected to step up in this do-or-die battle.

Setter Deanna Wong’s connection with Madayag and the hitters will be key in keeping their offense unpredictable and efficient.
The upcoming Rebisco Clasico is more than just about rivalry pride, it’s about survival for Choco Mucho. A win would keep them in contention for a quarterfinal berth, while a loss could end their Reinforced Conference campaign.
The Choco Mucho–Creamline match serves as the main event of Thursday’s PVL triple-header at 6:30 p.m.
