The defending champions Creamline Cool Smashers kick off their 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference semifinal campaign against the Petro Gazz Angels at the Ynares Center Antipolo on Saturday, March 29.

The Cool Smashers cruised through the quarterfinals, sweeping the Chery Tiggo Crossovers in their best-of-three series to secure their 17th consecutive semifinal appearance.

With their eyes set on an 11th championship and a coveted five-peat, the Grand Slam champs continue to thrive under the system of head coach Sherwin Meneses.

Leading the charge for Creamline are Alyssa Valdez, Tots Carlos, Jema Galanza, and Bernadeth Pons, with Bea de Leon and Kyle Negrito providing key support.

The match between Creamline and Petro Gazz is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
