Simply refreshing

Farm Fresh rediscovered its winning ways and arrested a two-game slide in a masterclass over Galeries Tower, 25-14, 25-15, 25-12, in the 2026 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference on Saturday at the Ynares Center-Antipolo.  

Trisha Tubu showed the way on offense, blasting a game-high 18 points on 13 kills, four kill blocks and an ace as the Foxies finally barged into the win column after three tries.

The Japanese Koji Tsuzurabara-mentored squad was in full control of the one-sided affair to tie its victim with 1-2 win-loss record.

Farm Fresh took only an hour and 17 minutes to claim victory following disappointing results in their first two matches.

“We actually had good performances in our first two games. It’s just that we came up short since we’re still adjusting as a new team with a new system. But you can still see the grit in those games,” Tubu said.

“But in this game, we improved on the things we needed to work on from our past few games, like in blockings, passing and defense, especially in communication, since that’s what we lacked,” she added.

“Also in that finishing kick in the end game. We prepared for Galeries especially in their defense. We just matched their intensity.”

Jolina dela Cruz started for the Foxies for the first time and contributed nine points and four excellent receptions. Ces Molina had nine points and Riri Meneses added seven for Farm Fresh, who rained down 46 attack points with 21 coming from the combined output of Tubu and Molina.

The Foxies also got 17 free points off the Highrisers errors while keeping their miscues at minimal with 11.

Galeries Tower failed to sustain the momentum of its five-set upset over Reinforced Conference runner-up ZUS Coffee last week.

No Highrisers player reached double figures, with Aiza Maizo-Pontillas scoring just nine points while Erika Deloria had seven.
