The opening days of the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference have already sent a resounding message: continuity matters, and momentum can define a team’s success. PLDT High Speed Hitters showcased this truth in emphatic fashion, extending their dominance over Creamline to a remarkable five-game winning streak that has now spanned 811 days.
On Thursday at the Playtime Filoil Centre, PLDT wasted no time asserting its authority over the league’s most decorated franchise, sweeping the Cool Smashers 25-22, 25-17, 25-23 in a display of precision, pace, and cohesion. What once seemed like an occasional upset has now become a pattern, as PLDT continues to prove that experience, preparation, and momentum are invaluable assets in the All-Filipino Conference.
Central to PLDT’s brilliance was star outside hitter Savannah Davison, who lived up to her superstar reputation with a commanding performance from start to finish. She exploded in the opening set, racking up 13 points alone and immediately setting the tone for her team. Creamline, relying on their championship pedigree and experience, tried to mount a comeback, but PLDT’s defense, offensive rhythm, and composure under pressure kept the Cool Smashers at bay. By the final whistle, Davison had recorded a conference-first triple-double, totaling 25 points, 11 digs, and 10 receptions—a performance that demonstrated her all-around dominance on the court.

“I have been working a lot on patience and waiting all week, and not trying to come out strong because Creamline and their fans can make it a really hard environment to play in,” Davison said after the match. “I’m just glad that we were able to keep calm and stick to our 80 percent throughout the match.”
Acknowledging the challenge presented by the seasoned Cool Smashers, she added, “You know what, they were pretty intimidating when they came out. I’m not going to lie, all of them were complete. I knew it was going to be a hard match. Like I said, I’m just happy that we were able to win tonight. We try to do this every game coming forward. I don’t want to take it to our head, but it’s one game at a time.”
For her exceptional play, Davison was named the first recipient of the 2026 All-Filipino Conference PVL Player of the Week award, presented by Pilipinas Live for the period of January 31 to February 6. The 27-year-old standout outshone competition from some of the league’s top names, including Capital1 Solar Spikers’ Bella Belen, Nxled Chameleons’ Brooke Van Sickle and Myla Pablo, Cignal Super Spikers’ Erika Santos and Vanie Gandler, Choco Mucho Flying Titans’ Sisi Rondina, and Galeries Tower Highrisers’ Erika Deloria. The award, voted on by print and online reporters covering the league, recognized Davison’s leadership, versatility, and game-changing impact.
PLDT’s victory not only reinforces their streak against Creamline but also signals their intent to be serious contenders in the All-Filipino Conference. Currently placed third in the standings, the High Speed Hitters will look to carry this momentum forward when they face the Capital1 Solar Spikers in their next match on Thursday, February 12, at the FilOil Centre. With Davison leading the charge and a balanced roster ready to step up, PLDT’s blend of experience, teamwork, and resilience could make them one of the most formidable teams in this year’s conference.
As the All-Filipino Conference unfolds, one thing is clear: PLDT has set a high standard for consistency and performance, and with players like Davison in peak form, the league’s fans can expect thrilling matches and high-stakes competition in the weeks ahead.
