But the Cool Smashers uncorked a big 9-3 run to wrest control at 14-11 and never looked back with Domingo, foiled in a previous 1-2 play, wrapping up the match on a quick attack. But the recent Open Conference champions, who battled back from two sets down to stun the PLDT High Speed Hitters at the Ynares Center in Antipolo, proved up to the task, so energized and focused on nailing a third straight win and seize firm control of the five-team semifinals. With their vaunted firepower coming into fore from all angles, the Cool Smashers needed just an hour and 22 minutes to get back at the HD Spikers in a duel of fancied teams which came out off a pair of mind-draining five setters over separate rivals over the weekend.

But of course, we never rested from training, so we still had a great outcome,” said Creamline head coach Sherwin Meneses in Filipino.
