Farm Fresh blanks Galeries for third straight win in PVL On Tour
The Foxies unleashed a decisive 7-2 closing run to slam the door on the Highrisers, improving to 3-1 in Pool A and moving one step closer to securing an outright quarterfinals berth. Galeries, meanwhile, remained winless at 0-4.
Trisha Tubu fronted the offense with 14 points while Jolina Dela Cruz chipped in 11 markers highlighted by four aces as Farm Fresh cruised to its third straight win to tie Nxled at second spot.
A France Ronquillo attack error saw Farm Fresh secure an 18-13 lead before Galeries responded with a 3-0 blast capped by back-to-back aces from rookie middle blocker Jean Asis to cut the deficit to two.
Farm Fresh then retaliated with a run of its own, unloading a pivotal 6-0 rampage fueled by five errors from Galeries and one ace from Dela Cruz as the red-hot Foxies grabbed the match point at 24-16.
Galeries would answer with quick two points, but another error from them allowed Farm Fresh to seal the sweep victory.

Chery Tiggo knocks out Galeries to reach PVL On Tour quarterfinals
Chery Tiggo fended off a third set comeback attempt from Galeries to complete a 25-23, 25-22, 25-21 win in their knockout duel in the 2025 PVL On Tour on Saturday at the Dasmariñas Arena in Cavite. The Crossovers advanced to the quarterfinals where they will lock horns with Nxled in another knockout duel. Chery Tiggo wiped out a 15-17 deficit in Set 3 after Jewel Encarnacion misfired on an attack from the left wing, allowing the Crossovers to level the score at 17-all. Ara Galang then denied Encarnacion from the same side before Shaya Adorador came up clutch with a kill of her own as both spikers fueled a 5-1 rampage that totally swung the momentum in their favor, 22-18. Ces Robles punctuated the straight-sets romp by forcing a check ball on her attack for match point, before sealing the deal with a clean kill from the same spot off a perfect set from Jasmine Nabor. "Actually, hindi madali 'yung pinanggalingan nu'ng game na 'to [kasi we're] coming off two losses doon sa Creamline tapos mas frustrating 'yung talo namin sa ZUS," Chery Tiggo head coach Norman Miguel said. "Physically, mahirap kasi kulang sa preparation at conditioning. Emotionally at mentally alam mong affected pa sila. So kanina, kinausap ko si Ara, Abby (Maraño), tsaka si Jasmine na 'wag sukuan 'tong game na 'to." —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Farm Fresh averts collapse vs. Capital1, books PVL on Tour QF slot
Farm Fresh avoided a huge meltdown in Set 3 to complete a sweep of Capital1, 25-20, 25-15, 25-21, in the knockout phase of the 2025 PVL On Tour on Saturday at the Dasmariñas Arena in Cavite. The Foxies almost wasted an early lead in the third frame, but capitalized on the error-plague Solar Spikers to seal their place in the quarterfinals. Farm Fresh, however, is pitted against powerhouse Creamline in the next round. Lefty opposite hitter Trisha Tubu led the show with 15 points anchored on nine attacks, four blocks, and two aces while Caitlin Viray and Lorene Toring each chipped in 11 markers with the former grabbing nine receptions. "Thankfully, nakaabot kami ng quarterfinals ngayon and more work pa," Tubu said. "Dito namin nakikita 'yung weakness ng bawat isa, 'yung strength ng team so ngayon trust 'yung nangingibabaw sa amin kahit gaano kahirap 'yung nangyayari sa loob. Alam namin na kahit sino pwedeng asahan." Farm Fresh built a 16-10 spread in the crucial Set 3, but Capital1 refused to go home without putting up a fight as they slowly regained the momentum thanks to a 10-4 rampage that forced a 20-all deadlock. However, the Foxies stayed composed and took advantage of back-to-back attack errors from Syd Niegos as Jolina Dela Cruz unleashed a kill from the left wing to fuel a 3-0 blast that made it a 23-20 lead for the Foxies. Toring clinched the match point following an ace before Dela Cruz provided the finishing kick off another hammer from the open. Dela Cruz finished with 10 points and six digs while middle blocker Rizza Cruz chimed in with nine markers highlighted by three blocks. "Hindi kami nade-define ng results so hindi namin kailangan maging distracted about do'n and ayon, every game kailangan namin isipin na for progress namin 'yung mga games na 'to," Cruz said. "Kailangan naming mag-focus." —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Petro Gazz repulses Choco Mucho, snaps skid in PVL On Tour
Petro Gazz showed no rust from a lengthy break, bucking a slow start to complete a 20-25, 25-19, 26-24, 25-17 win against Choco Mucho in the 2025 PVL On Tour on Tuesday at the Candon City Arena. The Angels, who were reeling from back-to-back losses to PLDT and Farm Fresh, erased an early deficit in Set 4 by unleashing a 14-3 closing run as they headed to the knockout round with a 2-3 card. The Flying Titans, meanwhile, absorbed their fourth straight loss to go 1-4 in Pool A. Myla Pablo carried the scoring cudgels as she posted a game-high 23 points anchored on 19 attacks, three blocks, and one ace to go with 16 receptions while another veteran in Nicole Tiamzon churned out 16 markers and 12 digs in Petro Gazz' first game since the departure of Japanese head coach Koji Tsuzurabara. With deputy coach Brian Esquibel calling the shots, the Angels made sure to deliver as they erased an early 11-14 deficit in Set 4, unleashing a valiant 9-1 rampage fueled by the Pablo, Ranya Musa, and seldom-used Antonette Adolfo as they built a 20-15 cushion. Choco Mucho answered with two consecutive points from a running kill from Jen Villegas and a Honey Royse Tubino rejection on Adolfo that sliced the gap to three, 17-20. But Pablo proved to be clutch, unleashing a kill from the left wing before serving up an ace to instigate a 5-0 game-sealing blast. It was also Pablo's back row kill that punctuated the four-set victory for the Angels. The loss spoiled a 17-point outing from Cherry Nunag, who had 11 attacks, four blocks, and two aces. —JMB, GMA Integrated News
