The CCS 3nity is BACK! Valdez, Galanza, Carlos 29pts! Coach Roger may BAD WORDS sa CCS! Bakit kaya?

The Creamline Cool Smashers have once again proven why they are one of the most formidable teams in the PVL All Filipino Conference 2025. In an impressive straight-set victory over the Capital One Solar Spikers, the Cool Smashers displayed a masterclass of volleyball, dominating in all departments: spiking, blocking, and serving. Leading the charge were the dynamic trio of Alyssa Valdez, Gemma Galanza, and Tots Carlos, who combined for an incredible 29 points.

But what stood out the most wasn’t just their seamless execution on the court—it was also the fiery passion and intensity exhibited by Coach Roger Gorayeb, whose outburst during a timeout became a hot topic among fans and commentators alike. What exactly set Coach Roger off? Let’s dive into the game’s thrilling highlights, individual performances, and the reason behind the coach’s outburst!

The Game Breakdown: Creamline’s Dominance

From the get-go, it was clear that the Creamline Cool Smashers were the superior team in this matchup. The team came out firing, with Valdez, Galanza, and Carlos leading the offensive charge. Gemma Galanza, in particular, was on fire, contributing a total of 23 points, showcasing her lethal combination of power and precision. Tots Carlos was not far behind, scoring a solid 6 points, while the veteran Alyssa Valdez continued to prove why she remains one of the most dominant players in the league.

Michele Gumabao also made notable contributions, rounding out the team’s scoring with her own solid all-around play. The Creamline squad was simply too much for the Capital One Solar Spikers, who struggled to counter the Cool Smashers’ high-powered offense and well-executed defense.

The statistics paint a clear picture of Creamline’s superiority. They led in spiking, blocking, and serving—three of the most crucial areas in volleyball. The Solar Spikers, despite some strong moments, couldn’t keep up with Creamline’s execution, which was almost flawless throughout the match.

A Standout Performance: Tricia Genesis for the Solar Spikers

On the opposing side, Tricia Genesis was undoubtedly the brightest spot for the Capital One Solar Spikers. Genesis was a constant threat, finishing as her team’s top scorer with 16 points. Her versatility was on full display as she mixed up her attacks, finding ways to challenge the Cool Smashers’ defense. Despite Genesis’ stellar effort, the Solar Spikers struggled as a whole to keep up with the relentless pace of Creamline.

While Genesis showed flashes of brilliance, the lack of consistent support from her teammates proved to be a fatal flaw. The Spikers could not muster a cohesive response to Creamline’s superior offensive firepower, and the match ended with a lopsided 3-set victory for the Cool Smashers.

The CCS 3nity is Back: The Power of Galanza, Carlos, and Valdez

The headline on every fan’s lips is the return of the legendary “CCS 3nity” (the powerhouse trio of Alyssa Valdez, Gemma Galanza, and Tots Carlos). Together, they reminded us of just how unstoppable they can be when clicking on all cylinders.

Gelana’s Clinical Precision: With 23 points, Gemma Galanza was an absolute machine, finding holes in the Solar Spikers’ defense and giving them no room to breathe. Her spiking was a thing of beauty, and her serving game was sharp, helping her team maintain control of the match.
Carlos’ All-Around Play: Tots Carlos once again proved her worth as one of the best all-around players in the league. While she didn’t rack up as many points as Galanza, her contributions in blocking and defense were just as critical in keeping the Solar Spikers from gaining any momentum.
Valdez’s Leadership: Alyssa Valdez, the heart and soul of the Creamline Cool Smashers, didn’t need to score as much this time, but her leadership was evident in how she orchestrated the offense and motivated her teammates. Whether it was in clutch moments or setting up her teammates for easy kills, Valdez showed why she’s still one of the league’s best.

Together, these three formed an impenetrable wall that the Solar Spikers just couldn’t break through. The CCS 3nity is truly back—and they are dominating the competition.

Coach Roger’s Outburst: What Happened?

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: Coach Roger Gorayeb’s fiery outburst. During a timeout, the camera captured the usually composed coach visibly upset. What caused the usually calm and collected Coach Roger to lose his cool?

The source of the frustration? The loud DJ in the arena, whose music and announcements were reportedly distracting the players during crucial moments of the game. Coach Roger, clearly annoyed, was heard saying some colorful words as he tried to get his team’s focus back on the game.

While Coach Roger’s choice of words may have been a bit more intense than usual, his frustration was understandable. The loud music, especially in a high-stakes match like this, can break a player’s concentration. But in true coach fashion, Roger quickly recovered, refocused his team, and the Cool Smashers continued their dominance to finish the match in straight sets.
