MANILA, Philippines — Creamline finally rediscovered its winning touch, scoring a much-needed 25-21, 19-25, 25-16, 25-18, win and handing Chery Tiggo its first defeat in the PVL on Tour on Sunday at City of Passi Arena in Iloilo.

The Cool Smashers bounced back from a rare second consecutive loss at the hands of ZUS Coffee on Saturday and kept their poise amid the lengthy challenge in the latter part of the fourth set.

Leading 18-16 in the fourth, Creamline was initially awarded a point after the referee called a net fault on Ren Peñafiel. Chery Tiggo contested the decision, saying Pangs Panaga touched the net, but first referee Bobby Celso explained that Panaga was outside the antenna when her body hit the net.

Celso also explained to both teams that Peñafiel touched the net because of Panaga’s contact outside the antenna.

After an 18-minute lull, the referees decided on a replay since both neither team committed a violation on the rally. Then Peñafiel ended up with an attack error before Michele Gumabao pushed the lead to 20-16.
