It’s in the name—cool, personified.
Creamline surged back to the top of the Premier Volleyball League after three gold-less conferences.
In front of a roaring crowd of 17,358 fans packing the Smart Araneta Coliseum, the Cool Smashers thrived amid the noise, turning cheers and jeers into fuel as they pulled off a 25-23, 22-25, 25-16, 16-25, 15-11 escape over the Cignal Super Spikers in Game 2 to clinch the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference championship on Thursday.
Creamline had earlier taken Game 1 in straight sets last Tuesday, 25-22, 25-18, 25-16.
The title marks the Cool Smashers’ 11th overall championship and seventh in the All-Filipino, including three from the then-Open Conference.
It was a fitting redemption for Creamline, which had fallen short of a title across the last three conferences, including the PVL On Tour preseason tournament.
Meanwhile, Cignal settled for silver—its third runner-up finish in franchise history in the PVL.
