The top-seeded Creamline Cool Smashers seek to secure a direct quarterfinal spot as they take on the 12th-seeded Nxled Chameleons in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference qualifying round.
The Creamline Cool Smashers aim to continue their dominant run as they take on the 12th-seeded Nxled Chameleons in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference qualifying round at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Thursday, February 27.
After finishing the preliminaries as the No. 1 seed with a near-perfect 10-1 record, Creamline has reaffirmed its status as the team to beat. Their only loss came in a five-set battle against PLDT, but the Cool Smashers remain the frontrunners for the championship.
Bernadeth Pons has been a crucial piece in Creamline’s success, providing versatility and defensive stability alongside the offensive firepower of Tots Carlos, Jema Galanza, and Alyssa Valdez.

With Kyle Negrito efficiently setting up their attack, the Cool Smashers will look to impose their dominance early.
In their previous match against the Chameleons last January 28, the defending champions flexed their muscles for a clean sweep.
Looking to do the same, a win for Creamline will send them directly to the quarterfinals, keeping them on track for their title defense.
