Photo from PVL Media Bureau</div>MANILA – For Creamline import Erica Staunton, the 2024 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Reinforced Conference crown was a manifestation of the club&#x27;s teamwork and trust with each other.&quot;I think I learned a lot especially MG [Michele Gumabao] emphasized just how this team is really centered on teamwork. I don’t think one person is the star of the show. I think everybody pulled their weight this entire conference,&quot; Staunton said after defeating Akari in the Finals on Wednesday night, 25-15, 25-23, 25-17, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.<div><a class="fr-green" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/9/4/creamline-captures-ninth-pvl-crown-at-akari-s-expense-1415">READ: Creamline captures ninth PVL crown at Akari&#x27;s expense</a></div>&quot;I think that’s how Creamline just is as a team from what I’ve seen from their past conferences before I got here. So, I think overall, just teamwork, trusting your teammates,&quot; she added. &quot;<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">And then also trusting myself because I want my teammates to be able to trust me. I would say that’s a really big thing and just building team chemistry.&quot;Staunton also said she was happy to play for Creamline in the PVL: &quot;I feel incredibly lucky that this was the team I started out my pro career with. I feel very blessed.&quot;Staunton fired 13 points behind double MVP Bernadeth Pons&#x27; game-high 19 points to help Creamline secure the erstwhile unbeaten Chargers.<div><a class="fr-green" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/9/5/pvl-lacsina-soltones-focus-on-positives-amid-hostile-response-from-crowd-1723">READ: PVL: Lacsina, Soltones focus on positives amid hostile response from crowd</a></div>The young American spiker also bared the team&#x27;s mindset despite starting the import-laden contest on a losing note.&quot;We all worked very hard this whole summer and so, honestly I think that we kind of had the mindset of just one game at a time, one set at a time, one point at a time,&quot; she said. &quot;Especially since we started out this conference with a loss, which wasn’t ideal but I think it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish and I think that we finished very strong.&quot;<div><a class="fr-green" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/8/31/creamline-completes-reverse-sweep-of-cignal-for-finals-berth-2134">READ: PVL: Creamline completes reverse sweep of Cignal for Finals berth</a></div>Creamline coach Sherwin Meneses has no doubt that the 23-year-old Staunton will only improve from here.&quot;Sobrang teachable si Erica. Number one, kasi &#x27;yung skills niya talaga, talagang bata pa, pero talagang pinipilit niyang makuha &#x27;yung system namin. Number one &#x27;yung training namin, talagang hindi siya umaayaw talaga kahit may masakit sa kanya, talagang nakikipagsabayan siya sa &#x27;min. So, I think maggo-grow pagdating ng maraming laro,&quot; said the coach.This is the first time since 2018 that the Cool Smashers have won the import-laden conference.
