Creamline sucked the fuel dry out of Petro Gazz as it hammered out a vengeful 25-23, 25-19, 25-18 victory on Tuesday night, Aug. 27, to complete the semifinal cast in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.
The multi-titled Cool Smashers displayed their formidable championship form to deny the Angels their bid of extending their championship reign after winning the 2019 and 2022 Reinforced Conference editions.
Erica Staunton delivered the telling blows for Creamline by pumping in 19 points built on 16 kills and three blocks, while Bernadeth Pons provided ample support with 16 points including 15 from attacks.
The Cool Smashers needed one hour and 33 minutes to dispose of the Angels, firing 51 attacks and posting seven blocks en route to the win that set them up a semis meeting with the Cignal HD Spikers on Thursday, Aug. 29.
It also extended their semis stint in the league from 2017.
Creamline’s victory also silenced the efforts of Wilma Salas and Brooke Van Sickle, who scored 18 points apiece in a losing effort for Petro Gazz.
