The Highrisers boosted their win-loss record to 3-6 while the Foxies, now at 2-7, suffered their fourth straight defeat.

Despite Galeries Tower already out of Final Four contention, coach Godfrey Okumu stressed the importance of finishing the season strong to leave a statement, compared to their 11th-place finish and 1-10 record last season.
“What we are looking for is to finish strong so that we’ll leave a statement for the next upcoming games […] Then when we come to the next conference, we’ll pick it up from there," said Okumu.
Farm Fresh narrowed the gap in the second frame but eventually lost its offensive steam in the third set. The Foxies tallied 32 attacks compared to the Highrisers’ 45.
Roma Doromal also contributed 10 points built on nine attacks and one block for Galeries Tower.
Chinnie Arroyo and Trisha Tubu paced the Foxies’ loss with eight points apiece.
