Creamline’s dominant run in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference continued unabated, securing its ninth straight win with a commanding 25-15, 25-19, 27-25 victory over Farm Fresh on Tuesday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
The Cool Smashers moved just two wins away from sweeping the preliminary round with a perfect 9-0 record.
They also extend their dominant winning streak to 19 games, dating back to the 2024 Reinforced Conference.
“Siyempre ‘yung experience namin sa mga ganitong laban, nandiyan palagi. Happy kami at naka-recover kami sa dikitang laban kasi lumamang pa ‘yung Farm Fresh. ‘Yung breaks sa huli, nakuha namin nung third set,” said Creamline head coach Sherwin Meneses.

Locked at 25-all, Creamline turned to Jema Galanza. She first delivered a sharp crosscourt kill before sealing the sweep with a perfectly placed service ace that dropped right at the end line.
