The Creamline Cool Smashers are on the verge of a Finals appearance after surviving the Petro Gazz Angels in five sets, Sunday at the PCV Socio-Civic Cultural Center in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte.
Tots Carlos came up big in the fifth set to power the Cool Smashers to a 27-29, 25-23, 16-25, 25-17, 16-14 triumph in Game 1 of their best-of-3 semifinals series.
The former University of the Philippines star scored 23 points, and her loaded serve in the final rally forced a poor reception from Petro Gazz's Grethcel Soltones that was quickly put away by Jema Galanza.
Another win by Creamline in Game 2, set for Monday in the same venue, will propel them to the finals of the 2021 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Open Conference.
