MANILA, Philippines—Creamline raced from three points down in the fourth set to inflict PetroGazz its first defeat, 25-18, 21-25, 25-19, 26-24, Saturday night and grab a share of the lead in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at Filoil Flying V Centre.
With Wilma Salas and Janisa Johnson scoring in succession, the Angels stormed to, 24-21, in an attempt to extend the match to full distance.
But an attack error by Johnson turned the tables around in favor of Creamline, which strung up five quick points—the last one a smash by Alyssa Valdez off a perfect feed by Jia Morado.
It was sweet revenge for the Cool Smashers, whose only defeat came from the Angels in the first round.
Both teams are now tied at the top with 7-1 records.
