The highly anticipated rematch between the Akari Chargers and Creamline Cool Smashers is set to ignite the 2024-2025 PVL All-Filipino Conference on November 23, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. at the Candon City Arena in Ilocos Sur.

The Creamline Cool Smashers, fresh off a dominant straight-sets win over the Petro Gazz Angels, 25-19, 25-22, 25-16, are looking to maintain their unbeaten record in the conference.

Jema Galanza led Creamline's charge in their season opener, tallying 13 points on 10 attacks, one block, and two service aces.

The team also welcomed the triumphant return of Alyssa Valdez, who played her first game since recovering from a knee injury that sidelined her for the previous PVL tournaments.

For the Akari Chargers, this game is more than just a chance to extend their winning streak. Tied for the top spot with a 2-0 record alongside the Cignal HD Spikers and PLDT High Speed Hitters, Akari is hungry for revenge after falling to Creamline in the 2024 PVL Reinforced Conference Finals.

The Chargers come into this match off a hard-fought victory over the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles, 25-14, 25-21, 19-25, 25-23.

Ivy Lacsina was a force to be reckoned with, delivering an impressive 24 points on 22 attacks, one block, and one service ace.

Both teams bring momentum and determination to this pivotal early-season matchup.

Will Creamline continue its reign as the league's powerhouse, or will Akari exact revenge and solidify its place atop the standings?

Fans can expect an intense showdown as two of the league's finest teams collide in Ilocos Sur.
