MANILA, Philippines — Times may have changed with the PVL competition reaching greater heights but Alyssa Valdez and the Creamline Cool Smashers still found a way to remain on top.

Valdez did not see a lot of action in Game 2 after playing only in three out of the five sets to end up with only a point. But she still found herself at the service line for Creamline when it scored its last two points in the deciding fifth set that led to Bea De Leon’s game-winning drop that completed the Cool Smashers’ “four-peat” bid in the All-Filipino Conference.

MANILA, Philippines — Creamline’s drive for a fourth straight PVL All-Filipino Conference title was surrounded with doubts after falling into unfamiliar territory before working their way to the top of Philippine volleyball once again.

It wasn’t the same dominant perfect title run for Creamline unlike last season as it entered the semifinals as a fourth placer for the first time since it debuted in 2017, losing games to Chery Tiggo, Petro Gazz, and PLDT to finish the elimination round with an 8-3 record—the franchise’s worst in the pros.
