Games on Wednesday

4 p.m. – Choco Mucho vs Capital1
6:30 p.m. – Creamline vs ZUS Coffee
CREAMLINE hopes to start something big out of its breakthrough PVL All-Filipino Conference win over sibling rival Choco Mucho as it clashes with ZUS Coffee on Wednesday at the FilOil Arena.
The Creamline Cool Smashers summoned the championship form that won them 10 championships and crushed the Choco Mucho Flying Titans, 27-15, 17-25, 25-21, 25-15, last week at the MOA Arena to improve to 1-1.
That same aura of invincibility was absent when Creamline was ambushed by PLDT in a humiliating straight-set defeat five days before.
“This is a good win for us and we hope to get our rhythm from this,” said Creamline coach Sherwin Meneses.
For their returning beloved setter Jia de Guzman, she had tempered expectations saying the tournament had just started.
“We don’t want to get too far ahead of us because we admittedly at this point are still familiarizing ourselves with one another,” said the Alas Pilipinas standout and Japanese league veteran.
The ice cream-making franchise will be up against a ZUS squad that had also claimed its first win in three starts at the expense of Akari, 16-25, 25-18, 18-25, 25-23, 15-12, on Thursday at the same San Juan venue.
Game time is at 6:30 p.m.
Also seeking a second win are Choco Mucho (1-2) and Capital1 (1-2) at 4 p.m. — Joey Villar
