MANILA--Farm Fresh will march to their first-ever Final Four appearance after sweeping Nxled, 25-17, 25-20, 25-19, in the PVL All-Filipino Conference play-in tournament on Tuesday night at the Playtime FilOil Centre in San Juan City.
After gaining momentum in the opening frame, the Foxies never looked back and sealed the match in the next two sets.
Farm Fresh relied on the offense of Trisha Tubo, who scored 12 points, and Ces Molina, who had 10 points along with 11 excellent receptions.
The Foxies started both sets dominantly, but the wind changed in the third after the Chameleons took an early 8-6 lead.
However, Farm Fresh quickly erased it after pumping a 10-1 run featuring a kill by Tubo that brought them to a 16-9 score.
The Foxies continued their good attack as Tubo again listed back-to-back kills for a 23-17 advantage.
This was followed by two more kills from Royse Tubino that finally ended Nxled's campaign.
“Credit to my teammates for coming out and bringing their A-game. They were putting balls away, and we came out determined to win. Luckily, we ended up on the good side,” Alohi Robins-Hardy said after the match.
Brooke Van Sickle led the Chameleons with her 13 points and 11 excellent receptions, while MJ Phillips had 11 points.
