MANILA, Philippines — Farm Fresh’s Trisha Tubu continues to prove she is one of the fastest-rising stars in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).

The former Adamson star shone brightly Saturday night as she dropped a 21-point outing to lead the Foxies to a stunning 25-23, 25-21, 25-14 sweep of the Akari Chargers for their first win in the 2024-25 All-Filipino Conference.

Not only did Tubu impress with a huge scoreline in just three frames, but she did so with no wasted motions, tallying an efficient 18-of-36 (50%) attack clip with three blocks to earn the nod as the third PVL Press Corps Player of the Week for the period of November 26 to 30.

Tubu edged standout Cignal duo Gel Cayuna and Jackie Acuña, resurgent Capital1 winger Heather Guino-o, ZUS Coffee hitter Chinnie Arroyo, Chery Tiggo spiker Cess Robles, and top PLDT star Savi Davison for the weekly plum decided by print and online journalists covering the competition, which is also streamed live and on-demand via Pilipinas Live app and on www.pvl.ph.

Already attuned to the highs and lows of club competition, the young Tubu made sure to share the spotlight with everyone who made her outstanding performance possible, from new coach Benson Bocboc, to longtime teammate and captain Louie Romero, and the rest of the feisty Foxies.

“Super, super proud sa bawa’t isa kasi tulad ng sabi ni coach sa’min, hindi isa o dalawa ‘yung gagalaw, kailangan buong team,” Tubu said after the win. “Kaya ayun, nag-work naman, kaya thankful kami kay God kasi nag-work ‘yung plan ni coach, and nagtiwala lang din kami sa sistema and bawa’t isa.”

It was Farm Fresh’s first win against Akari in four games since entering the PVL scene last year to improve to a 1-2 record in this six-month competition organized by Sports Vision.

“Hopefully, itong win na ito, maging ito ‘yung talagang motivation namin para sa mga next games namin,” continued the 24-year-old high-flyer, who has been filling the gaping offensive holes left by recovering spikers Jolina dela Cruz and top veteran recruit Rachel Anne Daquis.

Now carrying precious momentum despite a shorthanded roster, Farm Fresh looks to keep the fire burning against streaking sister team ZUS Coffee next Thursday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
