PVL: Maddie Madayag welcomes Choco Mucho win vs Creamline — ‘Nakaka-boost ng confidence’

MANILA — Choco Mucho veteran Maddie Madayag welcomed her team’s character win over Creamline in the 2026-27 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference Siklab series on Thursday at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

It was a hard-fought 23-25, 25-13, 25-23, 22-25, 15-13 triumph, as the Flying Titans notch just their second win over their sister team which is also the winningest PVL squad in league history.

For Madayag, the triumph serves as a confidence booster as the race for a spot in the Top 4 continues to heat up.

“Nakaka-boost ng confidence. Kasi nga, like what our coach has said in the huddle, Creamline is kind of like the team to beat in this league. Siyempre sila ‘yung palaging number one, palaging champion,” said Madayag.

“And nakaka-boost din ng confidence as a team knowing na we were able to win. And we were able to overcome the challenge that was given to us.”

The former Japan SV.League player shared how she appreciated her teammates who stepped up.

“Mahirap na chinallenge talaga kami siyempre hindi papayag Creamline but again, very happy ako na madami nag-step up, ang daming players na nakita ‘yung performance nila  kung paano talaga silang mag-perform,” she said.

“At ngayon, we’re very happy na the win. We won collectively as a team.”
