PVL: Valdez delivers in the clutch as Creamline holds off Petro Gazz in 4


Creamline bucked a collapse in the second set to overcome Petro Gazz, 25-19, 16-25, 25-18, 27-25, to cap Tuesday’s double-header of the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference, Tuesday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig.

Petro Gazz reached match point twice, but errors from Lindsey Vander Weide and Jonah Sabete, plus an off-the-block hit by Alyssa Valdez gave the Cool Smashers the win.

“Syempre number one ‘yung basic errors kapag mga crucial kasi ‘di na pwedeng magbigay ng points sa kabila so kung makapuntos sila dapat sariling sikap nila ‘yung magiging points nila,” said Creamline coach Sherwin Meneses on the all-important fourth.

“Yung break lang napunta sa amin nung fourth set kasi two-point lead na sila nun, ‘di naman bumitaw yung mga players.”

Yeliz Basa dropped a monster 28-point night on 24 attacks, two blocks, and two service aces.

Valdez added another triple-double with 14 points, 22 digs, and 15 excellent receptions. Jema Galanza chipped in 13 points as well in the victory.

The Cool Smashers used an 8-2 surge to break away and take the first set but the Angels had a run of their own in the second, a 12-2 blast to equalize, 25-16.

Then it was the turn of Creamline again in the third frame, with Valdez, Basa, Tots Carlos, and Kyle Negrito taking turns in an 8-3 run, 25-18.

The two-time defending champions remained unbeaten at 2-0, knotted with Chery Tiggo atop the leaderboard, while the Angels slipped to 1-1.

Vander Weide paced the Angels with 28 points, while MJ Phillips had 16 points.
