The Farm Fresh Foxies hope to stretch their win streak to four and bag an outright quarterfinals berth in the PVL on Tour.
Jolina Dela Cruz and the surging Farm Fresh Foxies look to punch their ticket to the quarterfinals when they battle the Nxled Chameleons in a high-stakes PVL on Tour clash on Sunday, July 27.
The match is set for 6:30 p.m. at the University of San Jose-Recoletos Coliseum in Cebu City.
With both teams carrying identical 3-1 records heading into the final Pool A match day, the winner of this contest will claim the last automatic spot in the next round — raising the stakes for what promises to be a thrilling duel in front of a Cebuano crowd.
Dela Cruz, who delivered 11 points in their straight-sets win over Galeries Tower on Saturday, has steadily found her rhythm in the tournament and will once again be a key piece for head coach Alessandro Lodi’s squad, which is riding a three-game win streak.
Adding more intrigue to the match is the personal subplot between Lodi and Nxled’s Ettore Guidetti, who are longtime friends and coaching colleagues now facing off as opponents for the first time in the PVL.
Farm Fresh will need to maintain its defensive discipline and sharp floor coverage against a Nxled side eager to bounce back from its first loss — a straight-sets defeat to undefeated PLDT.
The Chameleons will lean on EJ Laure to spark their offense after her 11-point effort in just two sets in that loss.
With a quarterfinal spot on the line, Nxled is expected to come out aggressive as the Chameleons aim to recapture early tournament form.
With pride and playoff position at stake, all eyes will be on this fiery face-off between two of the league’s up-and-coming squads.
