Setter Louie Romero made quite a lot of heads turn the past week for Farm Fresh in the 2024 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference.
Apart from providing stability, Romero’s superb playmaking and leadership as well as maturity have been producing positive results for the Foxies.
In fact, her brilliant court savvy was on full display against seasoned Chery Tiggo when she racked up 27 excellent sets in a stunning, 25-23, 25-22, 25-16, upset win on Saturday at FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.
The 23-year-old setter also had two points as the Foxies finally scored a victory over one of the league contenders and, in the process, matched their two-win campaign in the previous season.
“We carefully studied ho Chery Tiggo plays,” Romero said.
Romero’s heroics earned her the honor of this conference’s third PVL Press Corps Player of the Week for the period of 5 to 9 March.
Farm Fresh bounced back from a stinging loss to Akari last Tuesday by bringing down a veteran-laden club for a 2-2 win-loss record.
The former Adamson star wanted to maximize her young but talented attackers, led by Trisha Tubu, Chinnie Arroyo and Rizza Cruz, leading to their biggest win so far in the PVL since Farm Fresh entered the pro volleyball scene in last year’s Invitational Conference.
