2024–25 Creamline Cool Smashers season

The 2024–25 Creamline Cool Smashers season was the seventh season of the Creamline Cool Smashers in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL). This was Creamline's first season without former Finals MVP Celine Domingo, who had been with the team since 2019. She signed with the Akari Chargers on January 6, 2024.[1] That same day, the team acquired Bea de Leon and Denden Lazaro-Revilla from sister team Choco Mucho Flying Titans.[2] They then added Dij Rodriguez from their beach volleyball team to the roster.[3]

The Cool Smashers entered the 2024 All-Filipino Conference with a 15-game winning streak, which was later extended to 19 games as they started 4–0. On March 16, 2024, the team was swept by the Chery Tiggo Crossovers, putting an end to that winning streak and resulting in their first loss since the 2023 Invitational Conference championship.[4] They finished fourth in the preliminary round with an 8–3 record and 24 points, beating the PLDT High Speed Hitters by one point in the standings to advance to the semifinals.[5] On May 5, with a 3–0 win against Chery Tiggo, Creamline advanced to the championship, settling for second with a 2–1 record and 7 points. The team was met with a 2023 Second All-Filipino Conference rematch against Choco Mucho.[6] They then swept their sister team, 2–0, to win their eight PVL title and sixth All-Filipino Conference title.[7]

Despite an early five-set loss to PLDT to start the Reinforced Conference,[8] Creamline pushed through winning six of the remaining seven games in the split preliminary round, finishing third with a 6–2 record and 20 points. After sweeping rivals Petro Gazz Angels in the quarterfinals, the team was met with a challenge against the Cignal HD Spikers in the semifinals.[9] Cignal beat Creamline in the first two sets before the Cool Smashers completed a comeback, reverse sweeping the HD Spikers to take on championship debutant Akari.[10] Although Akari were 10–0 leading up to the title match, Creamline was able to sweep the Chargers and claim their ninth PVL title and third consecutive title.[11] It was also the team's first Reinforced Conference title since 2018.[12]

Creamline were one of three PVL teams which competed in the Invitational Conference. On September 9, with a 3–1 win against Cignal, Creamline clinched a berth into the conference championship.[13] They then beat the Farm Fresh Foxies two days later to complete a 4–0 preliminary round sweep with the full 12 points. In the championship, they would once against face off with the HD Spikers. The opponents once again brought them to the brink of defeat, leading 2–1 after three sets, but in the next two sets, Creamline would beat Cignal by two points in both sets. With their fourth consecutive title and second Invitational Conference triumph, Creamline became the first PVL team to win ten championships and accomplish the league's first-ever Grand Slam.[14]

In the 2024–25 All-Filipino Conference, Creamline continued their winning prowess by going 9–0 through their first nine matches.[15] Midway through, Filipino-Japanese player Risa Sato, who was with the team since 2018, transferred to the Chery Tiggo Crossovers on January 15, 2025. On February 15, the team was dealt with their only defeat to the PLDT High Speed Hitters, ending a winning streak that lasted 19 matches starting with the 2024 Reinforced Conference.[16][17] On February 20, with a win against Galeries Tower Highrisers, Creamline clinched first place in the preliminary round.[18] They first swept the Nxled Chameleons in the qualifying round to clinch a berth into the final round.[19] The Cool Smashers then swept Chery Tiggo in the quarterfinals to advance to the round-robin semifinals.[20] On April 3, Creamline won against sister team Choco Mucho Flying Titans to clinch their seventh consecutive championship berth.[21] Creamline would face off against the Petro Gazz Angels, contesting the title between the two teams for the fifth time in their rivalry.[22] Creamline weren't able to outlast Petro Gazz this time around, losing to the Angels in three matches, thus putting an end to their reign of four consecutive titles.[23]

The team then took part in the 2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Champions League. They first got a win against Jordan's Al Naser Club before losing to Zhetysu VC of Kazakhstan.[24][25] Still, it was enough to clinch second in Pool A and booking a spot in the quarterfinals, where they would lose to Nakhon Ratchasima and were eliminated from the tournament.[26]
