The Farm Fresh Foxies secured an important win in the PPVL All-Filipino Conference, defeating the Galeries Tower Highrisers in a hard-fought four-set battle, 26-28, 25-17, 19-25, 17-25, on Thursday, January 30.
This victory gives the Foxies much-needed confidence after a tough setback to the Chery Tiggo Crossovers just a few days ago. With their sights set on moving up the rankings, Farm Fresh put on a strong display, led by rising star Trisha Tubu.
Trisha Tubu was the undeniable hero of the match, delivering a career-high 33 points, consisting of 28 powerful attacks, four service aces, and one block. This outstanding performance surpassed her previous career-best 32 points, which she recorded against the Choco Mucho Flying Titans on April 24, 2024.

Tubu's offensive firepower kept the Galeries Tower defense on their toes throughout the match. Her ability to convert key attacks into points was instrumental in securing the win for the Foxies. But despite her stellar individual performance, Tubu remained humble and credited her teammates and coaching staff for their support.
“Ako po naman, ‘yung tiwala ko sa coaches namin, sa sistema namin, sa mga kasama ko sabi kasi nila sa ‘kin, nasa likod ko lang sila, ‘wag ako mag-alala. Kaya ‘yon, nagtiwala lang ako sa kanila tsaka sa sistema namin,” Tubu said in the post-match press conference.
While Tubu took center stage, Alyssa Bertlano and Jolina dela Cruz also made key contributions, adding 11 and 10 points, respectively. The dynamic duo provided additional offensive firepower and defensive support, helping Farm Fresh maintain control throughout the match.
Meanwhile, team captain Louie Romero was important in leading the team's plays, creating 19 solid sets that allowed Farm Fresh to execute their attacks effectively. Her leadership on the floor helped the Foxies remain focused and composed under pressure.
Head coach Benson Bocboc expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and emphasized the importance of rebuilding their confidence following their previous loss.
“Sabi ko lang maglaro lang sila. ‘Yun ‘yung instruction actually going here. Galing sa talo kasi, so we need to get back that confidence. Sabi ko wala akong pake doon sa numbers na ilalabas niyo, maglaro lang kayo, magtulong-tulong lang kayo,” Bocboc stated.
The victory was an important step forward for Farm Fresh as they continue their campaign in the PVL All-Filipino Conference. However, the road ahead remains challenging, with the team currently sitting at eighth place in the standings with a 4-4 win-loss record.
With the competition heating up, Farm Fresh will need to maintain their momentum and build upon their recent success. Their next challenge will be against the PLDT High Speed Hitters on Tuesday, February 4, at the Philsports Arena.
A win against PLDT could prove to be a turning point for the Foxies, as they aim to secure a playoff spot and eventually contend for the PVL championship. Consistency will be key, and their ability to execute their strategies under pressure will determine their fate in the tournament.
