CREAMLINE made quick work of KingWhale Taipei, 25-21, 25-19, 25-8, to claim the 2022 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Invitational Conference championship on Sunday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Conference MVP Tots Carlos and Jema Galanza led from the front with 14 and 13 points each, as the Cool Smashers dealt the Taipei side its first loss of the tournament and put away their second title of the 2022 season.
It was also their fifth title overall in seven finals appearances.

The Cool Smashers lost to the Taipei side in their elimination-round face but surprisingly dominated KingWhale in all departments when it mattered most.
Galanza and Carlos carried the load on offense with a combined 43 kills against Taipei's 30 while Alyssa Valdez and Ced Domingo each had two of the Cool Smashers' seven aces against the Taiwanese's one.
Domingo had more block points than the entire KingWhale side with four against the opponents' three, as she finished with 11 points enroute to her first Finals MVP plum.
Beatriz Flavio de Carvalho was the lone bright spot for the Taiwanese Club as she finished with 12 points and nine digs.
