MANILA, Philippines–Creamline needed one full set to get its act together in crushing Motolite, 18-25, 25-14, 25-21, 25-14, Saturday and moving just a win away from the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference finals at FilOil Flying V Center.
The Cool Smashers made key adjustments with the return of Alyssa Valdez and Jia Morado, fending off the determined Motolike Spikers to score their 17th win in as many matches.
Valdez scored 17 points, while Michelle Gumabao had 13 to bolster the Cool Smashers who can wrap up the best-of-three semifinal series in Sunday’s Game 2. Pau Soriano added 11 markers for Creamline.
They are just three wins away from completing an unprecedented sweep to the championship which has Creamline’s name written all over it all conference long.
