Creamline holds off NXLED
Creamline Cool Smashers secured a crucial win against Nxled Chameleons with a 20-25, 25-13, 25-16, 25-18 score, bringing them closer to a quarterfinal berth in the PVL Reinforced Conference.
The Cool Smashers faced an initial setback, losing the first set, but a strategic substitution in the second set sparked a significant momentum shift.
Former MVP Tots Carlos, playing with a minutes limit due to injury, and rookie Sheena Toring were instrumental off the bench, contributing 11 and 7 points respectively after being brought in during the second set.
This victory marks Creamline's first win in the second round of the preliminary phase, improving their record to four wins and two losses.
Michele Gumabao highlighted the team's fast adjustments and effective execution after their shaky start in the first set, contributing 13 points.
The win positions Creamline within the top four and boosts their chances for the knockout quarterfinals.
However, Creamline faces tougher opponents in Choco Mucho on Nov. 13 and Cignal on Nov. 18.
