Alyssa Valdez fired all her 19 points in attacks to extend the Cool Smashers’ winning streak to six games and improve to 6-1.
Jema Galanza finished with 10 points while Rizza Mandapat also pumped in all her seven points on spikes for Creamline, which exploited the absence of Maddie Madayag, Kim Gequillana and Kat Tolentino. The three senior players were attending a required school activity.
