CAVITE — Farm Fresh will advance to the quarterfinals of PVL on Tour.
This, as the Foxies got the better of Bella Belen-less Capital1, 25-20, 25-15, 25-21, in the knockout round as the league visited Dasmarinas, Cavite on Saturday.
However, they have a tougher assignment in the next phase, booking a face-off with winningest PVL club Creamline.

It was a dominant showing for the Trisha Tubu-paced squad, taking care of business in three sets by overcoming a late surge by the Solar Spikers in the third frame.
Despite trailing by eight, 15-7, the Capital1 mounted a comeback, eventually stealing the lead at 16-15.
But the Foxies answered back, unleashing a 6-1 run from a 20-19 Capital1 lead, sparked by Lorene Toring's contributions through attacks and a block.
And then a Tubu lefty spike made it a 23-21 count, as Toring fired an ace, and Dela Cruz finished the match with a sharp spike.
Farm Fresh flexed its towering net defense, firing 13 blocks compared to the Solar Spikers' four.
Tubu led the Farm Fresh scoring with 15 points on nine attacks, four blocks and two aces, headlining four Foxies in double-digit territory.
Caitlin Viray and Toring added 11 points each, while Dela Cruz added 10 markers.
Ann Monares held the fort in the floor defense, listing 14 excellent digs and nine excellent receptions, with playmaker Alohi Robins-Hardy doing her part with 15 excellent sets.

For their part, the Solar Spikers are certainly missing the services of their number one overall pick Belen as they suffered an early exit in the preseason tournament.
The ex-National University superstar still has duties with the national team alongside Alas Pilipinas head coach and newly-installed Capital1 mentor Jorge de Brito.
