The Capital1 Solar Spikers look to deliver a more balanced performance as they face the Farm Fresh Foxies in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The Capital1 Solar Spikers aim to regroup quickly as they face the Farm Fresh Foxies in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference at the FilOil Centre in San Juan on Thursday, February 26.
The Solar Spikers are coming off a straight-sets loss to the Creamline Cool Smashers, who dropped them to a 2-3 record.
Despite a strong showing from Bella Belen, who erupted for 26 points, Capital1 struggled to find secondary scoring, with no other player reaching double figures in the defeat.
That lack of balance has placed a spotlight on the rest of the lineup, including France Ronquillo, Ysa Jimenez, Leila Cruz, and Shaya Adoradro, who are expected to provide added support on the wing.

Ronquillo, who has come off the bench in previous outings, will look to be a spark against a dangerous Farm Fresh side.
Capital1 has shown flashes of cohesion earlier in the conference, particularly in matches where contributions came from multiple positions.
Replicating that balance remains the priority as they try to steady their footing in a tightly packed standings race.
Facing the Foxies, who are looking to extend their own momentum, the Solar Spikers understand the need for a sharper response.
For Capital1, the focus is on better support around Belen, cleaner execution, and a more complete team effort as the All-Filipino Conference continues.
First serve is set for 4:00 p.m.
