MANILA, Philippines — Tots Carlos poured in 23 points to push Creamline on the verge of sweeping the elimination round with a 26-28, 25-14, 25-23, 25-22 win over Akari in the 2023 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) second All-Filipino Conference on Thursday at Philsports Arena.
Carlos provided the spark from the bench with 21 attacks and two blocks as the Cool Smashers recovered from a first-set loss, where they fought back from a 20-10 deficit but still fell short. Then they got the better of the hard-fighting Chargers, who missed Faith Nisperos due to a minor injury, in the next three sets to claim their 10th win.

FINAL: Creamline (10-0) survives the also-ran but gritty Akari (5-6) in four sets to inch a win closer to an elimination round sweep. #PVL2023 | @LanceAgcaoilINQ pic.twitter.com/x8qhRiYole
