“We observe how they move, and if we see something that doesn’t align with their usual play, we need to correct it immediately, and that’s what happened earlier,” said coach Edson Bocboc. “In the first two sets, they were really off, so those are the things we need to fix. They still need to get used to competing and playing in more matches.”
“All our lapses are addressed immediately in training. There are still a few, but we’re working on them to ensure they don’t happen in our next games,” Tubu said. “Actually, I look for progress in myself every day. Thankfully, I’ve been able to contribute to the team, but I know there’s still a lot to improve on, so I work on it daily.”

Alyssa Bertolano helped with an all-around performance of 12 points and the same number of excellent digs and receptions as Louie Romero tossed 14 excellent sets.

Farm Fresh was coming off a stunning sweep of Akari previously.
The Foxies did not give up the opening frame despite a sudden run by the Thunderbelles but folded the following set. They immediately corrected the mistake in the last two to secure the win and snap the winning streak of ZUS Coffee.
Thea Gagate was still productive with 16 points built on 12 attacks, three blocks and an ace. Chinnie Arroyo and Jov Gonzaga contributed 10 points apiece as Cloanne Mondoñedo dished out 13 excellent sets.
ZUS Coffee will have to immediately shrug off this loss with Creamline up next while Farm Fresh aims to keep the ball rolling opposite Choco Mucho, both on Dec. 12 at PhilSports Arena.
