“Today was a fantastic game. We came out strong against Nxled, which majority were my players before. I thought that it would not be an easy game, but my team, everyone had a good performance,” said Foxies head coach Koji Tsuzurabara.
Trailing 14-18 in the third set, the Chameleons mounted a late resurgence behind their young guns Jov Fernandez and Lyann de Guzman to tie the game at 22-all.
However, Farm Fresh responded with one final run. Ces Molina restored the lead with a down-the-line hit, before Fernandez committed a costly attack error to put the Foxies at match point.
Rizza Cruz then sealed the victory with an ace that landed right in the middle of the Chameleons’ formation, giving Farm Fresh the win in one hour and 40 minutes.
Molina and Trisha Tubu led the Foxies with 16 points apiece, while Royse Tubino added 12 points and seven excellent digs.
