Ces Molina, Farm Fresh look to make statement in PVL Reinforced debut vs Nxled

The Farm Fresh Foxies are out to prove they’re ready to contend as they open their 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference campaign against the Nxled Chameleons on Thursday, October 9, at the City of Dasmariñas Arena.

After showing steady improvement last season, the Foxies enter the Reinforced Conference with renewed confidence and a stronger lineup built around a mix of veterans and rising stars. 

Leading the charge is Belgian import Helene Rousseaux, whose global experience in Turkey, Italy, Poland, and South Korea is expected to lift the Foxies’ offensive firepower.

Rousseaux will be backed by a solid local core that includes Ces Molina, Riri Meneses, Jolina Dela Cruz, Trisha Tubu, and playmaker Alohi Robins-Hardy, giving the Foxies a balanced attack across all positions.

This could be the first time Ces Molina and Riri Meneses will play for Farm Fresh in a PVL match, having been sidelined during the On Tour.

During the offseason, Molina and Meneses got to compete for Farm Fresh in the Davao Invitational Volleyball Tournament 2025, finishing in third place behind the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles and DLSU Lady Archers.

Under Italian head coach Alessandro Lodi, Farm Fresh is eager to finally make the leap from a promising young squad to a true playoff contender. 

But standing in their way is a retooled Nxled Chameleons side led by Spanish import Paola Martinez and Lyann De Guzman, making this opener a test of chemistry and composure.

With a strengthend roster, the Foxies are eyeing nothing less than a statement win to kick off their Reinforced Conference campaign.

The match will begin at 6:30 p.m.
