After a strong opening win against Al Naser Club, the Creamline Cool Smashers set their sights on Zhetysu VC as they aim for an unbeaten Pool A finish in the 2025 AVC Women’s Champions League.
The Creamline Cool Smashers are wasting no time shifting their focus to their next challenge, now set to face Kazakhstan powerhouse Zhetysu VC in the 2025 AVC Women’s Champions League.
Fresh off a straight-sets win over Jordan’s Al Naser Club, the Cool Smashers are looking to sustain their strong form and complete a Pool A sweep when they return to action at the Philsports Arena in Pasig Monday, April 21.
Kyle Negrito, who steered Creamline’s offense with poise in their opener, will once again be at the heart of the team’s attack, as she looks to tighten the connection with imports scorers Erica Staunton, Anastasiya Kudryashova, and Anastassiya Kolomoyets.

They will be backed up by Creamline’s dependable local squad, featuring Alyssa Valdez, Pangs Panaga, Michele Gumabao, and Jema Galanza.
