00:02 Both teams 1-0 so far.
00:05 Good showing on their first match.
00:07 But Katalyn Vino making the first point right away.
00:10 For her last conference in the 2nd All-Filipino,
00:13 it was the first time that Choco Mucho was back on the semifinal round.
00:18 Meanwhile, in the Petrogas, you meet new teammates as well, coaches.
00:23 In the case of Petrogas, really, I've seen you before.
00:26 And meanwhile, for Choco Mucho, of course, they still want to win
00:30 against the teams that they beat last conference.
00:33 And it is going to be, you know, we said it was a test for Brooke Van Sickle.
00:36 Trying to overcome her nervousness for Choco Mucho, a test for them.
00:40 If, you know, they're able to sustain all that momentum they had
00:43 from the previous conference.
00:45 As we get back to this game, getting a little bit exciting here
00:48 in the PhilSports Arena.
00:50 As Cheng will give it to Van Sickle!
00:53 What a good kick by Tang Fong Tse!
00:56 And she has been so good here for the Flying Titans.
00:59 Rempalma dug up by Alba.
01:02 Scatolentino, not yet.
01:05 Van Sickle again.
01:08 Good defense by both our squads.

01:17 Rondina! Nope!
01:21 Another chance for Rondina.
01:26 Good coverage from both our squads!
01:29 It's still alive and this is possibly the longest rally we've seen

02:02 Mars Alba is new to this team.
02:05 She's only two months old.
02:07 Choco Mucho, Flying Titan of Mars Alba.
02:11 Don't call him a Japanese coach. He is an international coach.
02:15 I mean I don't know if you remember you guys,
02:17 but he was the head coach of King Whales.
02:20 On deck to serve for Choco Mucho. 19 serving, 14.

02:42 Chance here for Petrogas. Ivy will try. Blocked.
02:47 Palma again.
02:50 We got another rally going on here for these teams.
02:54 It's easy to climb, really, but you know.
02:57 But very doable as well.
03:00 Sometimes it's all about the breaks of the game as well.
03:02 Here comes Issa again, avoiding the blockers.
03:05 And Sabete, a little too late to dig that one up.
03:08 Van Sickle, game face on. Here comes Maeza Pontillas.
03:12 They need a good one. Talking about Choco Mucho.
03:14 Can they go to Kat? Not yet.
03:17 Van Sickle from the back row!
03:20 And that's what we're talking about. Brooke Van Sickle.
03:23 Look at this.
03:26 Definitely the time to shine for Brooke Van Sickle.
03:32 And the time is now.
03:34 In the set, now they have a 5-0 run here at the tail end,
03:38 where it matters the most.
03:40 Exactly. Here comes Rondina.
03:43 Good dig. Sabete.

04:07 And chance here for Choco Mucho.
04:10 And they choose Cece Rondina!
04:13 Up top, down low for Rondina.
04:17 They're down by one.
04:20 Cece waited for it. She knew what was going to happen.
04:23 Nobody there.
04:25 Nunag, 4 points. She will serve for Choco Mucho.
04:29 Bobcet to Van Sickle from the back row.
04:32 Almost a point. Good dig.

04:48 Van Sickle.
04:51 Alba to Catolentino.
04:54 Saet to Van Sickle again.
04:57 Alba one-hand set to Maddy with a push!
05:00 What a smart save from Maddy, noticing that nobody was there.
05:04 Petrogas sending that ball away.
05:07 Really quality volleyball we are having here.
05:10 What a block!
05:12 19-all is what is on the scoreboard right now.
05:15 They go to Sabete!
05:17 Another block from the Choco Mucho Flying Titans!
05:21 In set number two.
05:24 Saet to Maisa Pontillas!
05:30 Nobody there for Choco Mucho.
05:33 21 serving 20.
05:36 That's a good serve.
05:38 She's Saet to Sabete!
05:40 Goes crosscourt!
05:42 That's right.
05:45 Of course, never intentional.
05:48 As Alba will go to Cece Rondina!
05:51 Two quicks!
05:53 Because that was a successful challenge for coach Dante.
05:56 Petrogas behind by one point.
05:59 Sabete will try. She is unsuccessful as Wong

06:17 Van Soto from the back.
06:19 Palma is there to pick it up.
06:21 Sabete blocked again.
06:23 Good reaction from Morente.
06:25 Oh, that's in!
06:27 Oh, that is outside!
06:30 Point number five for her.
06:32 She'll try again!
06:34 Second string for KC!
06:37 Let's see if she's going to make it three.
06:40 Not this time.
06:42 Maris Alba to Maddy!
06:44 Solid connection in that sequence.
06:47 Activating the middles of the Choco Mucho Flying Titans.
06:51 Maisa Pontillas!
06:56 She's talking about her 17 big points.
07:01 A little more quiet on that second set.
07:05 That's what I was going to say.
07:07 Because now we see from the new teammates,
07:10 trying to fit in the new system,
07:12 trying to get their groove with the new system at hand.
07:16 Alba finds Rondina!
07:20 Topped off by Sabete.
07:22 It's a chance here for Choco Mucho.
07:26 As Maris Alba goes to Cheri Dunag!
07:30 As Maddy will serve for Choco Mucho.
07:35 C-0 on Rondina!
07:41 Another deadlock here.
07:43 Ten-oh.
07:44 Rempalma, four points off four attacks.
07:47 As Maris Alba will choose Katolentino.
07:50 Saet gives it to Van Sickle!
07:53 That's going to be a point for Rondina for you.
07:56 And that is why she is the reigning MVP here.
07:59 Better first ball from the Angels.
08:02 But it is an eight-point lead now.
08:04 Make that a seven-point lead!
08:06 There's got to be that sense of urgency for the Petrogas Angels.
08:12 Chami will try.
08:13 She is unsuccessful.
08:15 Maddy, no good.
08:19 Good coverage from both squads.
08:22 Here comes Cici, just at the net.
08:24 Choco Mucho has it.
08:26 They give it to Tobino.
08:28 Perez to Van Sickle.
08:31 Dina will go to Rondina!
08:34 And that will go to the Petrogas Angels.
08:38 Rondina of the game.
08:40 Talking about Brooke Van Sickle.
08:42 Rempalma serving.
08:44 Wong to Dunag.
08:46 And that is it for our set number three.
08:50 Her middle blocker was a little bit late behind that approach.
08:54 That's right.
08:55 And we have Marianne Buitre starting here in this game.
08:58 Alba to Dunag.
09:00 All heart, all Filipino.
09:02 Catch a 2024 PBL All-Filipino Conference every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
09:08 on OneSports, OneSports Plus, RPTV, and Pilipinas Live.
09:12 PBL, the heart of volleyball.
09:16 Again, Chetty, Dunag.
09:18 You need to press your arms to make sure the ball, when it touches your arms,
09:22 the ball goes straight down.
09:25 Just like that.
09:26 Speaking of blocking.
09:27 There you go.
09:28 Single block.
09:31 Take a look at this.
09:33 Look at that block, that elevation from Jona Sabete.
09:38 Anything Tagumpay to possibly take this set extended to a fifth.
09:45 Tang Ponce goes to Tolentino with a push.
09:47 Ooh.
09:50 Back to the ball.
09:51 Yeah, back to-- you know, play continues.
09:53 And I'm sure Ivy would want her team to fight on for her.
09:57 Mm-hmm, definitely.
09:58 It's a one-point lead now for the Flying Titans.
10:00 Here comes Isamode finding that hole in the defense of Petrogas.
10:07 A lot of service errors are still tallied here in set number four.
10:11 For both teams as well.
10:14 CeCe Rondina.
10:17 For it to spin and fall down within bounds.
10:21 21 excellent sets for Mars Alba.
10:25 Oh, this time, but Jona is able to put it away.
10:28 That is point number 22 from start to finish.
10:33 And they're down by just one point.
10:35 Talking about Petrogas, CeCe.
10:37 Good check.
10:38 Unsuccessful.
10:39 Van Sickle setting duties to Maizo Pontillas.
10:44 CeCe again.
10:46 Nice.
10:47 Great composure here by the Petrogas Angels.
10:51 And Jona Sabete puts it away.
10:55 Isamaizo Pontillas on deck to serve.
10:59 Long, bump set.
11:02 Great coverage at the net for Petrogas.
11:04 Isamode will try easy pickings for Van Sickle.
11:08 They go to Sabete again.
11:11 Long to Isamode.
11:14 And she hammers it down.
11:18 Six points off six attacks.
11:21 Good serve.
11:22 That's a good one.
11:23 Bump set.
11:24 They go to Isamode.
11:25 Dug up.
11:27 Maizo Pontillas will go to Brooke Van Sickle.
11:30 And we are going to a set number five.
11:36 Petrogas Angels managing to extend the set
11:40 and now extending the match to a five setter game here.
11:45 Your middle blockers early.
11:47 And again, it's really about the perfect passing
11:49 that Choco Mucho has been doing here.
11:54 Here comes CeCe out of nowhere.
11:56 But that is in a sail outside.
11:58 A little too wide for Rondina.
12:01 Also especially at the tail end.
12:03 Crucial set here.
12:05 But again, high risk, high reward.
12:07 We are here, Dilly.
12:09 That is exactly right.
12:11 See, no holds barred for both our teams.
12:14 Maizo Pontillas single block by Isamode.
12:20 Also the momentum shifter here in the match.
12:22 But so far, Choco Mucho with a four point lead here.
12:26 Maizo Pontillas, Alba was ready for it.
12:29 Ponce.
12:31 Oregalo.
12:34 CeCe.
12:38 Barbon bump set to Van Sickle.
12:42 Rondina will set up Issa.
12:46 Saeb to Rev Palma.
12:51 She has been making most of the points here.
12:53 You gotta, you know, gamble a little bit
12:56 and set your middles and make plays as well.
12:59 There's gotta be variety in your sequences
13:03 as Ponce will set up CeCe Rondina.
13:06 Quickly apologizing.
13:08 I think that was Casey Galtonis.
13:11 And Marianne Vuitre.
13:13 What about Mars Alba with 24 excellent sets
13:16 in our match today.
13:18 She saw it to Brooke Van Sickle.
13:20 She's denied.
13:21 She'll try again.
13:22 She's still denied.
13:24 Second time, still no good.
13:26 Not in front of Kat Tolentino.
13:29 Pontillas will check in again.
13:31 Saeb serving.
13:33 CeCe Rondina.
13:35 We see a run from the Petragas Angels.
13:38 Or will Choco Mucho go home with a win?
13:42 Chance here for Choco Mucho.
13:46 And Petragas, here comes Jonah.
13:50 Oh, that's gonna be a point.
13:52 That's Reg Arrocha for the win.
13:56 Oh, it's gonna be a...
13:59 What's that?
14:01 Okay, Petragas saves a point.
14:04 Then serving 14.
14:06 Mars Alba to Issa Maldon.
14:08 Not yet.
14:12 Oh, there you have it.
14:14 A point for Petragas.
14:15 They're still alive.
14:18 Serving for Petragas.
14:20 That's a good serve.
14:21 Alba will find Kat Tolentino.
14:24 She's blocked.
14:25 And don't look now, Z, but the Petragas Angels.
14:30 A lot of pressure now on Marianne Buitre.
14:33 Serving, that's another good serve.
14:36 Alba, a chance here for the Angels.
14:40 Seguro Sabete.
14:44 All eyes on Marianne Buitre.
14:48 And what a painful, painful way to end this match.
