The Cool Smashers have yet to drop a set in the competition.The Cool Smashers are tied with the Petro Gazz Angels with identical 2-0 records heading into their showdown on Wednesday, March 23. Both teams are already assured of a twice-to-beat edge in the quarterfinals, although it remains to be seen who will emerge as the top seed in their group.&quot;I think we have to improve more on our communication, and also &#x27;yung pagli-limit ng errors namin. Kasi &#x27;yun din &#x27;yung pumapatay sa amin,&quot; said setter Jia de Guzman, who tallied 14 excellent sets as the Cool Smashers scored 39 points off kills.Tots Carlos continued her strong start to the conference, putting up a game-high 14 points, while Alyssa Valdez had seven, and Ced Domingo and Jema Galanza each scored six points. Creamline set the tone of the game in the opening frame, when they raced out to a 10-0, while the Water Defenders struggled to find any sort of rhythm. With Carlos firing from all angles, the Cool Smashers registered 12 kills in Set 1 and scored four points off their serve.The Water Defenders seized the momentum in the second frame, racing out to a 6-1 lead before their errors allowed Creamline to catch up. Domingo provided the Cool Smashers with a lift, as her ace gave them a 11-10 lead before Risa Sato scored on back-to-back rallies for a 13-10 Creamline advantage.Hits by Galanza and Valdez, along with an attack error by Janine Marciano, widened the gap to 16-11 although the Water Defenders were able to trim the deficit to two points, 19-17, off a Marciano kill.The Cool Smashers had too much firepower, however, and late errors by the Water Defenders helped Creamline get a 2-0 advantage.It was all Creamline in Set 3, with Carlos helping them surge to an 18-11 lead before their reserves came in to finish the job off. Rizza Mandapat scored three straight points to send the Cool Smashers to a 23-15 lead, and Fille Cainglet-Cayetano wrapped up the match after an hour and 10 minutes.No player scored in double-digits for BaliPure, with Patty Orendain coming up with six points.
