According to multiple sources, Sato has bid goodbye to her teammate at Bali Pure, last year’s Open Conference champion and Reinforced Conference runner-up. Creamline isn’t stopping there though as it has reportedly got commitments from Michele Gumabao and super setter Melissa Gohing, whose contracts with Cocolife and Pocari Sweat are expiring, to suit up for its team next season. Sato, Gumabao and Gohing joining Valdez and Morado should establish Creamline, who will be coached by Thai Tai Bundit, as one of the early favorites to win the season-opening Reinforced Conference tentative set in March. With Valdez and Morado doing most of the heavy lifting, Creamline finished only third in both the Reinforced and Open Conferences last year. This year, expect a stronger performance from Creamline.
