Alyssa Valdez, despite the injuries she had during the elimination round, proved she is still one of the best hitters in the sport with a team high 18 points, while Jema Galanza – named Finals MVP – finished with 16 points.

The Cool Smashers also had solid contributions from Jia Morado, who had 24 excellent sets, while libero Kyla Atienza had 22 digs and 17 receptions.

Creamline’s win avenged a setback to PetroGazz during the previous Reinforced Conference, becoming the first team to post an unbeaten 20-0 record in the conference, going 16-0 in the elimination round, 2-0 in its semifinal sweep of Motolite, and 2-0  in the best-of-three finals series opposite the Angels.
