VICTORIAS, Negros Occidental — Farm Fresh capped its PVL On Tour stint on a high note, eking out a come-from-behind 20-25, 25-19, 22-25, 25-12, 15-10 win over Capital1 on Saturday at Victorias City Coliseum here.

Reigning Season MVP Trisha Tubu did most of the damage with 24 points, but it was veterans Ces Molina and Ara Galang who spelled the difference for the Foxies to finish their preseason with two wins in three matches.

From a precarious 8-6 lead in the fifth after Khy Cepada’s massive spike went straight to the face of Galang, Molina scored five crucial kills in Farm Fresh’s six points to reach match point, 14-9. Ysa Jimenez saved a point, but Tubu drilled the finishing cross-court kill.

Molina had 16 points, 17 excellent receptions, and 11 digs, while Galang came out off the bench to lead a strong fourth set and finish with 14 points from eight spikes, three blocks, and three aces and also tallied eight digs.

“I think that’s really our role as veterans on this team—leadership. Even though I’m not the captain, I can still contribute whatever skills the team needs. I’m just happy that we were able to finish the conference on a good note,” said Molina.

Louie Romero tossed 23 excellent sets, while Mylene Paat-Rezanova contributed nine.

“Today’s game was a fantastic game. It was a seesaw battle. We need more practice because we have the Invitational Conference come next week,” said Farm Fresh coach Koji Tsuzurabara.

Farm Fresh braces for the Invitationals starting on August 31, facing defending champion PLDT, the Jaja Santiago-led Creamline, Nxled, Thailand’s EST Cola, and Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City.

Capital1 lost both of its two preseason games without the Alas Pilipinas trio Bella Belen, Erika Santos, and Vanie Gandler.

Shaya Adorador led Capital1 with 14 points and nine excellent receptions. Jimenze had 13, Cherry Nunag chipped in 11 points, while Cepada added nine. Rookie Detdet Pepito had 16 digs and 14 excellent receptions.
