Jia De Guzman making sure to keep PVL opponents guessing


All but one of Creamline’s hitters contributed to the team’s three-set whipping of BaliPure on Monday night.

And that’s exactly how Jia De Guzman wanted to run things to keep the team unpredictable heading into the latter stage of the 2022 Premier Volleyball League.

“It’s something na pina-practice talaga namin ni Kyle [Negrito] na kapag ka training, we want everyone to get involved in the play. Para less predictable rin,” said the reigning Best Setter, who finished with 14 excellent sets in the match.

De Guzman also credited the team’s superb passing against the Water Defenders, which helped her distribute the ball to the team’s spikers. Moreover, she’s just happy to see everyone step up and contribute.

A total of 10 players scored in the victory.

“We’re happy that everyone got to deliver, but we also have to credit also yung passing ng team, yung defense ng team. Kasi without it hindi rin kami makaka-set nang maayos,” said De Guzman.

“That’s why conscious effort din yung coaches namin to fill everyone in. Para lahat kami ready to play anytime hanggang matapos yung tournament,” she added.

Always looking to improve, De Guzman said that the team is looking to polish some basic aspects while they try to limit their errors moving forward.

“Ganun ulit. We’re going to train tomorrow. Magsa-scout kami. Babalik kami sa basics namin,” she said.

“Ayun naman parati yung nireremind sa’min ng coaches na… It’s more of our small errors na kailangan namin ma-control. Other than that, we’re okay.”
