CREAMLINE overpowered Capital1 25-18, 25-14, 25-15 yesterday in a big bounce-back win from a shock shutout loss to Chery Tiggo in the PVL All-Filipino Conference at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The victory, their fifth in six games, propelled the Cool Smashers back to the top, aiming to embark on a new winning streak after a remarkable run of 19 consecutive victories, including the 15 matches they swept to secure the last of two AFC titles contested last year.
Tots Carlos delivered a 14-hit game, including 12 kills, while impressively maintaining a 60 percent attack efficiency. Despite her standout performance, the former UP stalwart with multiple PVL MVP trophies admitted the team’s disappointment over their recent setback which not only halted their roll but also tightened the leaderboard race.
“We were disappointed (with the loss), so we went back to basics during training,” she said. “We focused on improving our communication and minimizing errors.”
