The Farm Fresh Foxies are out to secure a direct quarterfinal berth in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference as they face the Akari Chargers, looking to replicate their previous straight-set victory.
The Farm Fresh Foxies aim to secure a direct quarterfinal berth as they battle the Akari Chargers in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference qualifying round at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Tuesday, March 4.
Coming off an up-and-down preliminary round, the Foxies hold the no. 6 seed and will look to replicate their straight-set win over Akari last November 30.
Farm Fresh has shown resilience throughout the tournament with key players stepping up, such as Lorene Toring providing a steady presence at the net alongside Ckyle Tagsip and Rizza Cruz.
Toring’s defensive efforts, combined with the offensive firepower of Trisha Tubu, Jolina Dela Cruz, Caitlin Viray, and Aly Bertolano, have been crucial in the Foxies’ campaign.

The team also continues to benefit from the leadership of Rachel Anne Daquis, who was previously named PVL Player of the Week.
Head coach Benson Bocboc hopes to have Tubu back in full form after missing two games due to back spasms, but regardless, Farm Fresh is determined to maintain their momentum and advance to the next round.
A win will automatically send Farm Fresh to the quarterfinals where they will face the Galeries Tower Highrisers, while a loss will force them into the play-in tournament.
