Tied at 19-all in the third set, Creamline delivered the finishing blow by unloading a 6-0 run with three points coming from Valdez and capped by a Pau Soriano quick off a Jia Morado feed.

Morado's off-speed hit set the momentum for Tots Carlos' back row attack and Risa Sato's service ace for Creamline's late run.

"'Yong Cignal talagang lumalaban din 'yan, depende lang talaga kung anong ilalaro ng kalaban nila," said Creamline coach Sherwin Meneses. "Hindi naman kami nagpahinga, talagang lumaban lang 'yong Cignal, maganda yung ginalaw nila. Buti na lang nakabawi kami nung third set so lesson din sa amin 'yon."

Klarisa Abriam paced Cignal with 13 points with nine kills while Norielle Ipac added 10 markers.

Creamline bounced back from its previous loss against the Chery Tiggo crossovers and improved to a 6-1 record while Cignal fell at 1-6 slate.

The Cool Smashers are set to duel with No. 1 and undefeated squad Choco Mucho Flying Titans on Wednesday, Aug. 4.
