With Tubu sitting out due to back spasms, Viray plugged in the void and joined hands with the resurgent Rachel Anne Daquis to complete Farm Fresh’s come-from-behind 18-25, 21-25, 26-24, 25-19, 15-12 win over Capital1 on Tuesday at Philsports Arena.

The classification phase of the PVL All-Filipino Conference is in its homestretch and rankings will be the premium with wins to mean slightly lighter assignments in the first round of the playoffs.
That’s why Cignal sets out to cement its hold of No. 3, which would mean playing the 10th-ranked team when the HD Spikers battle dangerous Akari in the 4 p.m. contest at PhilSports Arena in Pasig in a game that means a lot for both.
