Creamline goes for PVL crown
Games Today (Mall of Asia Arena) 10 a.m. – PLDT vs Vice Co (Men’s Third Place) 1:45 p.m. – Pocari-Air Force vs BanKoPerlas (Women’s Third Place) 3:45 p.m. – Creamline vs PayMaya (Women’s Final) 6 p.m. – Cignal vs Air Force (Men’s Final)
Creamline aims to seal its first-ever Premier Volleyball League crown when it battles PayMaya today in Game 2 of their best-of-three finals series in the Reinforced Conference.
The Cool Smashers are determined to display the same intensity that won them Game 1, 25-21, 22-25, 25-20, 25-19, when they square off with the High Flyers at 3:45 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Alyssa Valdez and the rest of the squad are leaving no stone unturned when they gun for a sweep, making sure that PayMaya would not gain any chance of grabbing the momentum to forge a rubber match.
Valdez is once again expected to spearhead the Cool Smashers’ attack along with Thai import Kuttika Kaewpin after the duo combined for 37 points last Saturday.
Offensive help will also come from hard-hitting Michele Gumabao and Laura Schaudt.
PayMaya, however, is not intimidated as it tries to move on from a lackluster performance in Game 1.
Matching Valdez and Kaewpin’s offensive assault will be the High Flyers’ top spikers Tess Rountree and Grethcel Soltones, who conspired for 37 points the last time.
Another interesting matchup will be the battle of versatile setters, Jia Morado for Creamline and Jasmine Nabor for PayMaya.
