Cool Smashers eye solo lead vs HD Spikers

CREAMLINE seeks to break out from the three-way logjam with Choco Mucho and PLDT, but they will have to face the seasoned Cignal in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) 2024 All-Filipino Conference at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig today, March 26.

The Cool Smashers are eyeing their sixth win to gain the solo top, while the HD Spikers (4-1) want to make the top crowded.

Creamline liberos Denden Lazaro-Revilla, Jorella de Jesus, and Kyla Atienza will match up with the league's top receiver, and current top four best digger Dawn Macandili-Catindig (78 excellent sets and 46 excellent receptions) in their floor defense.

The Cool Smashers returned to their form after dominating Capital1, 25-18, 25-14, 25-15, last Thursday, March 21.

Tots Carlos, who tallied 44.39 percent spiking efficiency, chimed in 14 markers in that game.

Cignal also bounced back from a loss with Choco Mucho, and asserted its mastery against the Strong Group Athletics (SGA), 25-7, 25-16, 25-16, last Tuesday, March 19.

HD Spikers' top gun Vanie Gandler made a game-high 16 points while team captain Ces Molina churned out 14 against the Athletics.

At 4 p.m. Chery Tiggo will try to extend their winning streak to three to fortify their semifinals bid alive.

The Crossovers (4-2) will need to conquer the win-hungry Nxled Chameleons (1-4).

Chery Tiggo hopes to keep their momentum after winning in a five-set thriller against Petro Gazz, 25-21, 15-25, 22-25, 25-19, 15-13, also last week.

The well-rested Nxled seeks to bounce back after suffering a loss via sweep versus Akari, 25-17, 25-19, 25-20, last Saturday, March 16.

Meanwhile, Petro Gazz (4-2) shoots for a fifth win against Capital1 (1-5) at 2 p.m.
