The Creamline Cool Smashers showed on Thursday why they are the defending champions of the PVL All-Filipino Conference.
They beat fellow powerhouse Petro Gazz, in a five-set marathon, 25-22, 23-25, 25-27, 25-19, 15-13, to stay undefeated at 5-0 at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City. Tots Carlos finished as Creamline's second-leading scorer with 16 points behind Michele Gumabao's 19, and rose to the occasion after a series of successful hits, including the game-winner, in the final set.
Both squads saw a tightly contested fight, with the scoring still tied at 18-18 late in the fourth set. Bernadeth Pons contributed through an attack, and another outside hit by Petro Gazz gave a point to the Cool Smashers. The pink shirts had an 8-4 lead in the last frame, and further extended it via a successful foot fault challenge.
