Akari seeks first PVL win against Farm Fresh team
Games Tuesday
(PhilSports Arena)
4 p.m. — Capital1 Solar vs SGA
6 p.m. — Farm Fresh vs Akari
FARM FRESH tries to stay in the middle of the pack while Akari eyes its first victory as the two collide today in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference at the PhilSports Arena.
The Foxies split their first two outings following 25-16, 25-18, 25-16 victory over the Capital1 Solar Spikers Thursday while the Chargers absorbed a pair of heartbreaking defeats to the Cignal HD Spikers, 21-25, 25-18, 25-12, 25-18, last Feb. 24 and the Creamline Cool Smashers, 25-22, 21-25, 25-22, 25-19, Thursday entering their 6 p.m. showdown.
Expect a Jerry Yee-mentored Farm Fresh to rely anew on Trisha Tubu and Chinnie Arroyo, who starred their one and only win thus far by firing 15 and 11 points, respectively.
Akari, for its part, has yet to come to form despite recently adding a pair of super stars in Grethcel Soltones from Petro Gazz and Ced Domingo from Creamline, who joined a cast headed by Dindin Santiago-Manabat, Faith Nisperos, Fifi Sharma and Bang Pineda.
For Ms. Tubu, they treat every game as a learning experience.
Likewise searching for a first win are Capital 1 Solar and Strong Group Athletics, who face off at 4 p.m.
Both squads have 0-2 cards. — Joey Villar
