Trisha Tubu continues to soar and grow as one of the fastest-rising stars in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).
With Farm Fresh looking to barge into the win column in the All-Filipino Conference, Tubu picked the right time to explode as the Foxies brought down no less than top title contender Akari.
The Adamson University product glittered like a polished gem as he dropped 21 points in Farm Fresh’s stunning 25-23, 25-21, 25-14 sweep of the favored Chargers last Saturday night at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.
Not only did Tubu impress with a huge scoreline in just three frames, but she did so with no wasted motions, tallying an efficient 18-of-36 (50 percent) attack clip with three blocks to earn the nod as the third PVL Press Corps Player of the Week presented by Pilipinas Live for the period of 26 to 30 November.
For her can’t-miss numbers sparking a needed breakthrough, Tubu edged standout Cignal duo Gel Cayuna and Jackie Acuña, resurgent Capital1 winger Heather Guino-o, ZUS Coffee hitter Chinnie Arroyo, Chery Tiggo spiker Cess Robles, and top PLDT star Savi Davison for the weekly plum decided by print and online journalists covering the competition, which is also streamed live and on-demand via Pilipinas Live app and on www.pvl.ph.
Already attuned to the highs and lows of club competition, the young Tubu made sure to share the spotlight with everyone who made her outstanding performance possible, from new coach Benson Bocboc, to longtime teammate and captain Louie Romero, and the rest of the feisty Foxies.
“Super, super proud of the team. Just like what coach always tells us, for us to win we need to show a collective team effort,” Tubu said after the win.
“It worked so we thank God everything worked according to coach’s plan. We just stuck to our system and trusted each other.”
Farm Fresh scored its first win over Akari in four meetings since joining the PVL last year to improve to a 1-2 win-loss ecord in this six-month competition organized by Sports Vision.
