CHOCO Mucho overcame a stunning comeback attempt by Farm Fresh, carving out a hard-fought 25-20, 25-21, 21-25, 25-27, 15-12 victory in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference on Thursday at the Philsports Arena.
Cherry Nunag emerged as the hero in the decisive fifth set, tallying four crucial points through swift middle attacks, while Isa Molde and Sisi Rondina delivered clutch hits. The high-flying Rondina, despite being met with Farm Fresh’s resolute floor defense, managed to break through during critical moments, contributing key points at endgame.
The Flying Titans thus snapped their two-game losing streak, leveling their record at 3-3, tying the Akari Chargers at fifth. They capitalized on Farm Fresh’s misfortunes, including Trisha Tubu’s early exit due to cramps in the fifth set.
Despite the setback, the Foxies displayed remarkable grit, rallying from a two-set deficit and pushing the match to a decider.
