CREAMLINE holds the three longest win streaks in PVL history — the third of which being its ongoing 17-game unbeaten run in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
Both of Creamline’s league-best 25-game win streak from 2019 to 2021 and 19-game win streak from 2023 to 2024 were snapped by the same team: Chery Tiggo.

Before the Cool Smashers play the Crossovers on Thursday in a bid for an 18th consecutive victory, here are the last two times Chery Tiggo stopped Creamline on its winning tracks.
Chery Tiggo def. Creamline (2021 PVL Open Conference)
Back in an unprecedented pandemic-stricken season, Chery Tiggo was the first to burst Creamline’s bubble in Ilocos Norte following the latter’s 20-game sweep of the previous conference.
The result? A four-set Chery Tiggo win: 25-18, 23-25, 25-23, 25-20.
Eventual conference and Finals MVP Jaja Santiago fired a game-high 20 points backed by Mylene Paat’s triple-double of 11 points, 11 digs and 10 receptions in a lengthy two-hour contest.
Jasmine Nabor’s 31 excellent sets also outpaced eight-time PVL best setter Jia de Guzman’s 26.
Prime Alyssa Valdez posted 16 markers along with Tots Carlos’ 12 in what was her first conference as a Cool Smasher.
Chery Tiggo went on to prove its prelims win over Creamline was no fluke as it took down the perennial champions in the best-of-three finals to become the PVL’s first professional champions.
Chery Tiggo def. Creamline (2024 PVL All-Filipino Conference)
Creamline’s Grand Slam season in 2024 wasn’t always about wins and sweeps.
The defending champions were thrown a shocking curveball in the early goings of the season-opening All-Filipino Conference when Chery Tiggo pulled off a rare 25-18, 26-24, 25-23 sweep over Creamline in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
Now-estranged spiker Eya Laure dropped the hammer on a veteran Creamline side with 14 points and four receptions.
Alas Pilipinas libero Jen Nierva neutralized the Cool Smashers offense with a 20-dig, 10-reception double-double.
Jema Galanza’s 13 points and Carlos’ 12 couldn’t steer Creamline to what would’ve been its second 20-game win streak in franchise and league history.
