Chery Tiggo completed a comeback to edge out the Creamline Cool Smashers and take the 2021 PVL Open Conference crown in yet another arduous battle, 23-25, 20-25, 25-21, 25-23, 15-8, on Friday at the PCV Socio-Civic Cultural Center in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte.Down 0-2 heading to the crucial third set, the Crossovers leaned on Dindin Santiago-Manabat and Jaja Santiago to take the frame and capture the pivotal momentum heading to the fourth set. Manabat poured a scintillating 32 big points, while conference and Finals MVP Santiago tallied 26 points, including four blocks. It was a nip-and-tuck battle down the stretch in the fourth with the Santiago sisters carrying the Crossovers, while Tots Carlos provided attack points for Creamline. Tied at 20, the Santiagos scored back-to-back hits for a 22-20 lead. But Carlos drilled two spikes to even the match anew. Santiago then teamed up to deny Carlos followed by an off-the-block hit of Santiago-Manabat to force a decider. Chery Tiggo stepped on the gas early in the final set with 5-0 lead capped by a solid rejection of Santiago to Alyssa Valdez. Santiago scored back-to-back hits, including a back row spike, to push their lead, 9-2. Creamline tried to return in the match with Valdez going crosscourt, 6-11. But the Crossovers capitalized on their momentum and Santiago punctuated the match via middle hit, 15-8. Carlos paced the Cool Smashers anew with 22 markers, while Valdez, one of the best open hitters of the season, contributed 17 points.

Chery Tiggo edged out the Creamline Cool Smashers to take the 2021 PVL Open Conference crown in yet another arduous battle.
