The Capital1 Solar Spikers look to continue their climb as they go up against the Creamline Cool Smashers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The Capital1 Solar Spikers look to sustain their upward push as they go toe-to-toe with the Creamline Cool Smashers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Saturday, Feb. 21, at the FilOil Centre in San Juan.
Sporting a 2-2 record, Capital1 enters the 4:00 p.m. matchup coming off a confidence-boosting five-set win over Choco Mucho.
As the conference continues to level the playing field, the Solar Spikers are intent on building consistency and staying within striking distance of the leaders.
At the center of that charge is Bella Belen, who has quickly emerged as one of the league’s most productive scorers.
Fresh off a career-best 29-point outing, Belen has shown an ability to take control across rotations, providing Capital1 with a reliable offensive focal point when rallies extend and sets tighten.

Support around her has also begun to take shape. The Solar Spikers have leaned on improved timely contributions from Shaya Adorador, Ysa Jimenez, and Leila Cruz, allowing the offense to stay fluid rather than predictable.
With Belen setting the tone and the Solar Spikers gaining confidence game by game, Capital1 sees this matchup as another opportunity to test its progress and continue building momentum in the All-Filipino Conference.
