Creamline guns for a sweep as it battles PayMaya in Game 2 of their Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Season 2 Reinforced Conference best-of-three finals series today at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena.

The Cool Smashers go for the clincher at 3:45 p.m., confident of duplicating their 25-21, 22-25, 25-20, 25-19 victory in the opener last Sunday with a kind of grit and teamwork they have shown from the eliminations to the finals.

In fact, top player Alyssa Valdez is all set to steer the team to victory again and claim the title that has eluded them after a couple of third place finishes.

“We all wanted to win, not just me,” said Valdez. “More than ever, it’s everyone who wanted this win, who wanted to win the championship that’s we have a good teamwork.”

So upbeat is the former Ateneo star that she also considers playing at the MOA Arena brings good vibes not only to her but also to the organization she represents.

“It’s always good to be back at the place where you won your first-ever championship,” said Valdez, who powered Ateneo to its first crown against then thrice-to-beat De La Salle University in Season 76 of the UAAP and in the Lady Eagles’ record sweep of Season 77.With Thai reinforcement Kuttika Kaewpin complementing well with Valdez on the attacking end, towering replacement import Laura Schaudt settling down with the team’s play-patterns and providing intimidating presence on the net and the rest of the squad’s solid support, the Cool Smashers are all set for the big finish.

But PayMaya coach Roger Gorayeb can surely spring a surprise to neutralize the Cool Smashers’ edge in power and momentum and force a sudden death on Sunday.

Tess Rountree gears up for another spiking duel with Valdez and Kaewpin with fellow import Shelby Sullivan also hoping to raise the level of her game and provide the needed support.

The PayMaya locals, including Jerilli Malabanan, Joyce Sta. Rita, Celine Domingo and Aiko Urdas must also step up although Grethcel Soltones and setter Jasmine Nabor have been dishing out solid games for the High Flyers.
