MANILA, Philippines — The Nxled Chameleons survived a five-set scare posted by the Farm Fresh Foxies, 25-19, 25-17, 22-25, 20-25, 15-12, to snatch their second consecutive win in the 2026-27 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference-Siklab Series on Saturday afternoon at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.
Both teams traded blows in the fifth canto, but Myla Pablo came alive in the late stretch, powering back-to-back kills to give Nxled a 13-10 advantage.
Foxies’ Ces Molina slammed a kill, but Pablo quickly responded with a hit of her own to send the Chameleons to match point advantage, 14-11.
Veteran Royse Tubino said that the match was not over after a crosscourt shot, but Pablo blocked Molina’s hit to finish the match 15-12.
Pablo scored the last four points for the Chameleons to win.
The Chameleons earned a 2-0 set advantage before Farm Fresh was powered by Jonna Perdido and Trisha Tubu in the third and fourth frames, pushing the match into a decider.
Brooke Van Sickle still led the scoring for Nxled with 20 points along with 16 excellent digs, while Pablo backed her up with 17 markers.
“I do think the competition is getting harder now. We have only eight teams, and the teams are more condensed, so there are better and good players. This is gonna be definitely hard. We have seen a lot of five setters early in the conference, everyone is tough,” Van Sickle said during the post-game press conference.
Jacq Acuña and MJ Phillips both joined the double-digit mark, chipping in 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Leading the playmaking for the Chameleons was Gel Cayuna, who made 31 excellent sets.
Farm Fresh banked on Ces Molina, who made 16 points on 13 attacks, two blocks, and an ace, while Mylene Rezanova added 12.
Rizza Cruz, Tubu, and Perdido all chipped in with an identical nine-point output.
