TUBOD, Lanao Del Norte --- Farm Fresh made quick work of Nxled, 25-23, 25-13, 25-22, for a mighty rebound win in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) On Tour Showdown on Saturday at the Mindanao Civic Center Gymnasium.

The Foxies staved off strong opposition from the Chameleons in the third set for their first victory in two outings in the province-hopping pre-season tournament.

Ces Molina and Trisha Tubu led the way for Farm Fresh with 16 points each and combined for 29 of the team’s 47 attack points. Royse Tubino added 12 markers in the Foxies’ bounceback more than a month after a stinging four-set upset loss at the hands of Galeries Tower.

The Chameleons overhauled a five-point deficit in the third frame with a telling rally to take a 21-19 advantage. Tubino and Molino scored back-to-back hits followed by a Lyann De Guzman attack error to regain the advantage, 22-21.

De Guzman tied it at 22 before the Foxies answered with a closing 3-0 barrage capped by a Rizza Cruz ace.

Nxled saw its back-to-back wins snapped and closed its campaign with an even 2-2 win-loss record.

No Chameleon reached double-figure scoring with Myla Pablo and MJ Phillips tallying eight points each.
