As Creamline navigates a challenging 2024 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Reinforced Conference, opposite spiker Michele Gumabao and the remaining Cool Smashers are stepping up to hold the fort.
With star players Tots Carlos and Alyssa Valdez sidelined by injuries, and Jema Galanza away due to her responsibilities with Alas Pilipinas, the team’s quest for success has become a test of resilience and depth.
Creamline’s campaign took a hit with a tough five-set defeat to PLDT last Tuesday. However, the Cool Smashers demonstrated their resolve by rebounding with a four-set victory over Farm Fresh last Saturday.
“Siyempre, Creamline naman isn’t just one player, so it’s really the whole team. We’re really one big family and pare-pareho naman kami ginagawa everyday,” said Gumabao, who has stepped into a leadership role in the absence of the team’s key stars.
The La Salle product has always been quick to rise to the occasion when the team faces adversity, and her performance against the Foxies was no exception.
Gumabao delivered a stellar showing, scoring 21 points with 19 attacks, one ace, and one block, proving her capability as a pivotal player.
But it wasn’t just Gumabao who shined. Jeanette Panaga added 12 points to the scoreboard, while Bernadeth Pons contributed a well-rounded performance with nine markers, 19 excellent receptions, and 12 excellent digs.
“Nagsta-start kami sa practice. Pare-pareho naman kami ng role and lagi din naman nireremind sa’min ni coach na leader din kami lahat on and off the court. So whether you’re playing or not, you always have a big contribution to the team,” Gumabao explained.
She further emphasized the importance of seizing opportunities.
“So, to be ready, kung ano lang talaga ‘yung opportunity sa harap kailangan take advantage lang talaga. Pag nakakuha ng set, kailangan paluin, so just really doing my job inside and really trying to contribute in any area that I can,” she said.
Despite the absence of Carlos, Valdez, and Galanza, Gumabao and her teammates are committed to maintaining the team’s competitive edge.
“Kahit naman sa mga coaches namin, hindi nila hinahanap ‘yung mga wala. So kailangan sa sarili namin, once we’re inside, we have to really take this opportunity – especially kami na hindi rin part ng first six before, so we really need to step up para sa inaantay namin bumalik,” she added.
