The Chery Tiggo Crossovers became the first professional volleyball league champions after edging the Creamline Cool Smashers, 23-25, 20-25, 25-21, 25-23, 15-8, in a five-set thriller in Game 3 of the the 2021 PVL Open Conference finals at the PCV Socio-Civic & Cultural Center in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte Friday, Aug. 14.
Jaja Santiago, who lifted Chery Tiggo with her fourth set heroics, capitalized on the error-plagued fifth frame showing by Creamline.
Chery Tiggo waxed hot in the decisive set after unloading a 9-2 run before Creamline rallied to cut the deficit by three points to trail at 8-11.
The Crossovers pulled away for good with another 4-0 blitz capped by Santiago’s quick attack off a Jasmine Nabor feed.
