The Capital1 Solar Spikers will gun for back-to-back wins in the 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference as they go up against the unbeaten Farm Fresh Foxies on Tuesday, October 21, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The wait is officially over for Bella Belen’s first PVL win after the Solar Spikers took down the Nxled Chameleons in four sets.

Now, Capital1 turns its sights on improving its 1-1 record in Pool A against Farm Fresh, who have been on fire to start the conference.

Aside from Belen, the Solar Spikers will need a much bigger performance from opposite hitter Leila Cruz, who has yet to put up double-digit outings in the conference.

The 25-year-old spiker finished with just nine and four points, respectively, against PLDT and Nxled.

Should Cruz finally get her bearings alongside Belen and Ukrainian import Oleksandra Bytsenko, the Solar Spikers should be a difficult opponent for the Foxies — or any PVL team.

First serve between Farm Fresh and Capital1 set for 1:30 p.m.
