Surging Farm Fresh hunts for a third straight win when it battles Capital1 in the 2026 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference today at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
Power-hitting Trisha Tubu and top winger Jolina dela Cruz lead the charge for the Foxies in the 4 p.m. curtain-raiser to be followed by the 6:30 p.m. main game pitting struggling Choco Mucho against dangerous Galeries Tower.
Farm Fresh is on a roll after dropping its first two games, racking up two straight victories over the Highrisers and sister-team ZUS Coffee.
Tubu and Dela Cruz scattered 16 and 13 points, respectively, for the Foxies in a 25-14, 25-18, 25-18, drubbing of the Thunderbelles last Saturday for a 2-2 win-loss card tied with Galeries Tower at fifth to sixth.
“As coach (Koji Tsuzurabara) said we needed a change of mindset and pressure ourselves to be a contender every conference,” Dela Cruz said.
“We have additional members with firepower and experience. We help each other because we want Farm Fresh to take it step by step and trust coach Koji.”
The Foxies are also banking on Ces Molina, Riri Meneses and Mylene Paat to match the intensity of the Bella Belen-led Solar Spikers, who seek to rebound from a setback.
Capital1 holds a 2-3 mark and is reeling from a 18-25, 24-26, 20-25, loss to Creamline.
Belen will need to get more contributions from her teammates after doing most of the heavy lifting on offense.
“I mean, it’s concerning since volleyball is a team effort. It’s not about just one player. You cannot win if there’s a huge discrepancy in scoring,” Belen said.
The Flying Titans, on the other hand, are looking to arrest an alarming three-game slide after winning their opener.
Choco Mucho suffered a 21-25, 25-18, 18-25, 25-19, 10-15, loss to the Solar Spikers last week.
Injured Eya Laure’s return to the Flying Titans remains in doubt after missing the last match due to an abdominal muscle she sustained in their third game.
