Jema Galanza shines as Creamline edges Cignal

Creamline bucked a second-set hiccup as it bested Cignal, 25-18, 22-25, 25-22, 25-12, to remain unbeaten in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference on Saturday, Oct. 22, at the Sta. Rosa Sports Complex in Laguna.

The Cool Smashers drew strength from Jema Galanza and import Yeliz Basa, who fired 17 and 14 points, to extend their winning run to three games.

Galanza and Basa also combined for 27 of the team’s 52 kills to survive the HD Spikers’ stifling defense, where they posted 12 blocks off Tai Bierria and Angeli Araneta.

Jia De Guzman continued to be instrumental in orchestrating plays after finishing with 25 excellent sets.

Jeanette Panaga fired nine points while Alyssa Valdez and Ced Domingo chipped in eight points each for Creamline, whose victory tied them with Chery Tiggo at the helm.

Cignal, for its part, fell to 1-2 in the middle standings, despite the 20-point production of Bierria.
