Kasi &#x27;yung last game, medyo nakakalamang kami, pero hindi namin natatapos &#x27;yung set,&quot; said Creamline coach Sherwin Meneses. &quot;Ngayon, natuto na kami sa lesson namin, noong natalo kami sa Cignal, na kailangan maging maganda &#x27;yung composure namin hanggang sa 25 points.&quot;</p><p>Creamline overwhelmed the HD Spikers on offense, tallying a 50-25 advantage in kills.

A service error by Rachel Anne Daquis followed by a hit by Valdez and Carlos&#x27; ace gave the Cool Smashers a 14-11 lead.</p><p>But Cignal HD remained within striking distance. Valdez completed a combination play to put Creamline at match point, 24-20, but Ces Molina converted a hit and a Domingo attack was called out, giving the HD Spikers some hope, 24-22.</p><p>Off a timeout, the Cool Smashers made sure to end matters, with De Guzman finding Domingo for a quick hit in the middle that wrapped up the match in just an hour and 28 minutes. </p><p>No player scored in double-digits for Cignal HD, with Molina and Roselyn Doria each contributing eight points. The HD Spikers got 23 free points off Creamline&#x27;s errors, while committing 19 of their own. </p><div><strong>Related video:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1f3PwdrbXqQ?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
