Naipaghiganti ng Creamline Cool Smashers mula sa malaking tulong kay Michelle Gumabao ang kanilang nag-iisang talo sa preliminaries kontra F2 Logistics Cargo Movers upang maiselyo ang Game 1 sa best-of-three semifinal series sa bisa ng 26-24, 25-18, 22-25, 25-15, Sabado ng gabi sa 2023 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference sa Philsports Arena sa Pasig City.

Rumatsada ng opensiba ang 30-anyos na opposite hitter ng kabuuang 21 puntos mula sa 20 atake at isang block, habang nanguna naman sa iskoring si Diana Mae “Tots” Carlos na kumana ng triple-double mula sa 22 puntos sa lahat ng atake, kaantabay ang 17 digs at 15 excellent receptions.

“I think what more important is nakabawi kami sa mga errors naming in the past games, marami pa ring lapses this game, but medyo nagawan namin ng paraan, pero ang importante talaga we work as a team and working hard every single point,” wika ng 5-foot-9 volleybelle-turn-beauty queen matapos ang laro. “I think we need to work on our errors, first and foremost, specially on our serves, so that concept that we had 11 errors, talagang medyo masakit yun para sa amin, so kailangang mas tumatatag kami as the game goes by, we have to work on ourselves starting with practice, with training and we have to keep working hard talaga.”

Sumuporta rin sa paglikha ng puntos si 2019 conference MVP Jema Galanza na tumapos ng 12 puntos at siyam na receptions, gayundin si Jeanette Panaga na may 11pts, habang may nilikhang 26 excellent sets si Julia Morado-De Guzman kasama ang apat na puntos.

“We are the teams that stuck with our line up throughout with the conference in the past, importante na talagang kilala na namin yung sarili namin so it’s really all about execution when were in the court,” paliwanag ni Gumabao.
