Farm Fresh also snapped Choco Mucho’s two-game winning streak and raised its win-loss record to 2-1. In the deciding frame, Farm Fresh held a 12-10 advantage with Trisha Tubu putting up the fight for the Foxies. However, Royse Tubino, former Choco Mucho player, committed back-to-back errors that allowed Choco Mucho to tie the match at 12-all. Tubu then hammered a kill, followed by Eya Laure’s attack error that gave the Foxies the match point advantage, 14-12. Laure quickly made up and scored, but it was all too late as Tubu scored a through-the-block hit to secure the win. Farm Fresh won over Galeries in its campaign opener, followed by a five-set loss over Nxled, then bounced back after winning its game over Choco Mucho to tally a 2-1 card. Mylene Paat took the player of the game plum after chipping in 15 points on 11 attacks and four blocks.
