Farm Fresh blanks Galeries for third straight win in PVL On Tour
Farm Fresh pulled away late in the third set to complete a 27-25, 25-17, 25-18 win over Galeries Tower and remain surging in the 2025 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) On Tour on Saturday at the USJ-Recoletos Coliseum in Cebu. 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. —JMB, GMA Integrated News

PLDT stages Set 3 comeback to complete sweep vs. new-look Farm Fresh
PLDT erased a four-point deficit late in Set 3 to stun Farm Fresh in straight sets, 25-18, 25-21, 28-26, and kick off its campaign in the PVL On Tour on Tuesday on the right note. The High Speed Hitters were in danger of being dragged to a fourth set extension after the retooled Foxies built a 23-19 lead in the third set off back-to-back points from Trisha Tubu. But PLDT reorganized following a tactical timeout with Kiesha Bedonia pulling off back-to-back aces to fuel a huge 5-0 rampage that saw the High Speed Hitters taking the match point at 24-23. Alohi Robins-Hardy, though, came up with a block against Shiela Kiseo and a one-two play that allowed Farm Fresh and new Italian head coach Alessandro Lodi to secure their set point, 26-25. Mika Reyes then answered with a running cross court attack while a Lorene Toring attack error sent PLDT to a 27-26 lead. Reyes and Kim Kianna Dy then put the roof on Caitlyn Viray on the left side to finish it off. Bedonia closed out his clutch performance with a 14-point outing anchored on 10 attacks, two blocks, and two aces together with seven receptions as PLDT got off to a good start in the preseason showcase. Reyes chipped in 10 points while Jovie Prado chipped in nine markers and 10 digs. —JMB, GMA Integrated News
