The Creamline Cool Smashers look to build on their early momentum as they face the Capital1 Solar Spikers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Saturday, Feb. 21, at the FilOil Centre in San Juan.
With a 2-1 record, Creamline enters the 4:00 p.m. matchup coming off four-set victories over Choco Mucho and ZUS Coffee after opening the conference with a loss to PLDT.
The Cool Smashers have gradually found their rhythm as the tournament progresses.
Expected to play key part against the Solar Spikers will be Jema Galanza, who looks to provide a more consistent production on the wing alongside Tots Carlos.

The return of Bernadeth Pons has also boosted Creamline’s attack, while Pangs Panaga and Bea De Leon continue to anchor the middle. Setter Jia De Guzman remains in charge of directing the offense.
Despite the recent wins, Creamline knows it needs to stay disciplined and composed, especially against a Bella Belen-led Capital1 team that has shown it can be dangerous when given openings.
