Chery Tiggo Shocks Creamline in PVL Match
Chery Tiggo young star Eya Laure hopes to light a new fire after the Crossovers’ sweeping conquest of what she calls the PVL’s ‘Ginebra,’ the dominant Creamline Cool Smashers.
Santa Rosa Showdown
The City of Santa Rosa continues to be an unlucky place for perennial PVL powerhouse Creamline after Chery Tiggo stormed to a stunning 25-18, 26-24, 25-23 sweep in the league’s return to Laguna on Saturday, March 16.
Notable Victory
The Cool Smashers, unbeaten in their last 19 games, lost for the first time since July 2023, and more notably, went down in a sweep for the first time since May 2019. This is also the second double-digit Creamline winning streak that ended in Santa Rosa since Cignal snapped a 10-game run in July 2022.
Star Player Eya Laure Leads the Charge
At the helm of the Crossovers’ much-needed rebound after they themselves fell in a sweep to upstart Farm Fresh is young star Eya Laure, who led with a game-high 14 points on 12 attacks and 2 aces.
Team Effort
Performing well alongside Laure were all-around veteran Ara Galang, young libero Jen Nierva, and former MVP Mylene Paat, as Chery Tiggo evaded a three-game slide to rise to a 3-2 record.
Creamline’s Performance
Creamline, meanwhile, fell to a 4-1 slate, with Jema Galanza and Tots Carlos pacing the losing cause with 13 and 12 points, respectively.
Looking Ahead
Up next on the docket for Chery Tiggo is yet another tall task in the form of red-hot Petro Gazz next Thursday, March 21, as the Angels ride a three-game winning run after starting the conference with a loss.
Yet another streak ripe for ending. That’s all the motivation Laure needs.
