The Creamline Cool Smashers look to get their groove right away as they face the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in an exciting PVL All-Filipino Conference rivalry clash.
The Creamline Cool Smashers look to get back on track as they renew their rivalry with the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
After a rare opening setback, the Cool Smashers head into the Rebisco Clasico eager to respond and reassert their identity.
Creamline absorbed a straight-sets loss to the PLDT High Speed Hitters in their conference debut, a result that snapped early momentum despite the return of key veterans and a fully healthy lineup.

One of the key figures in Creamline’s bid to steady the ship is libero Jen Nierva, whose arrival is expected to strengthen the team’s floor defense and backcourt organization.
Tasked with shoring up reception and extending rallies, Nierva’s presence could prove vital against a Choco Mucho side that thrives on sustained pressure and quick scoring spurts.
Creamline will still rely heavily on its proven core of Jia De Guzman, Jema Galanza, Bernadeth Pons, Tots Carlos, Alyssa Valdez, Bea De Leon, and Pangs Panaga.
With both teams searching for rhythm and bragging rights always at stake, the showdown shapes up as an early litmus test for two squads expected to be in the thick of the All-Filipino title race.
First serve for the Creamline–Choco Mucho clash is set for 6:30 p.m.
