00:00 DLSU in the finals.
00:02 I mean, NU does have that championship mindset.
00:05 They know how to make those in-game adjustments early.
00:09 But FEU, they cannot be neglected in the UEA.
00:14 Right. I mean, way to keep it down.
00:16 In a five set match. Right.
00:18 Which means they're doing all the right things.
00:20 It's just a matter of having them aligned all in one.
00:24 As you look at Alinsuk's score, a point.
00:26 Let's check in with Ares of FEU.
00:29 For their lower batches.
00:30 As an individual player, Sheena still wants to improve her confidence on the court.
00:34 And is happy to acknowledge the fact that she is getting there soon.

00:48 Panangin, second year player.
00:50 Former baby Tamaraw, she's a true blue FEU player.
00:55 And nice shot by Solomon.
00:57 Starting off really hot today.
00:59 Coming from Eliza Solomon.
01:01 And when you look at the approach of Solomon, it's not as explosive.
01:05 But she has that heavy hand that can go.
01:08 That fearless attitude of being a first year.
01:11 That's true. Very rare.
01:12 That exposure playing in the ABC, in the Asian Women's Volleyball Championship.
01:16 Scoring 30 points against Kazakhstan will obviously give you a lot of confidence.
01:20 Definitely.
01:21 A nice cross court hit.
01:24 Enemy from Petalio.
01:27 And the answer right there from the team captain Erin Pangilinan.
01:30 Powerful placement.
01:32 But let's take a look at that swipe.
01:34 Right behind, right near Bakanke.
01:37 There's Petalio.
01:40 Nice serve. Wow.
01:43 That's an ace.
01:45 Check in for the first time.
01:48 The rookie. 20 year old rookie.
01:51 Out of San Enrique Negros Occidental.
01:54 A nice cross court for Ali Devasora.
01:57 Also just checking in for FAU.
02:00 Solomon targeting zone 5.
02:03 That down the line.
02:04 So far as a lady Tamarau.
02:06 Nice serve.
02:08 Lead is now 8. The biggest for the lady Bulldogs.
02:13 Ara Panike with a hit.
02:15 Alberto popping it up.
02:17 Devasora cross court.
02:19 Harjo picking it up.
02:21 Difficult set for Lamina.
02:23 Solomon rewards her with a point.
02:25 Using the block of FAU here.
02:29 I mean there's absolutely no block in that sequence.
02:32 But that's because of Lamina.
02:34 Really worked out here late in the first set.
02:38 Blocked up top even before the push by Solomon.
02:42 She now has 9.
02:44 Anything can happen until you reach 25.
02:49 Nice to see.
02:50 Combination play.
02:51 Solomon firing that one in.
02:53 10 points already.
02:55 Take a look at the heavy hand of Solomon.
02:59 It's actually above the block.
03:01 Aisha Belio.
03:03 23 year old foreign student athlete rookie.
03:07 Cross court is good for Petalios.
03:11 It's about to serve.
03:14 Or after they serve rather.
03:17 Great spot by Petalios.
03:19 8 more for NU.
03:21 They can put it away right here.
03:23 Pangilinan.
03:25 Petalios back to back points for Petalios.
03:30 She is the top scorer for FAU with 4.
03:33 Petalios going across earlier.
03:35 Now going down the line.
03:37 Solomon just needed that right.
03:39 She scored 3 points as well against UP.
03:42 That's right.
03:44 Solomon.
03:46 Nice dig.
03:48 Tagaod.
03:49 Off speed.
03:50 Picked up by Solomon.
03:51 Hardio sets it up to Belen.
03:53 Cross court.
03:54 Upaldo with a pass.
03:56 Back row.
03:57 Petalios.
03:58 Hardio with a pass.
03:59 Combination play.
04:00 Belen.
04:01 Belen puts it away.
04:02 And you just don't know the strategy of Lamina in the pregame.
04:05 Because Tagaod, Bakanke, Petalios.
04:09 They haven't reached the double digit mark.
04:13 When I asked her about her performance last week,
04:16 she actually told me she looked forward to this season's tournament
04:19 after almost not making it to the lineup after her injury.
04:23 I mean, she is doing a great job whether she's in the front row or back row.
04:28 Serving so well.
04:29 Tagaod.
04:31 That could have been outside.
04:32 Belen picked it up.
04:33 Hardio will pass it.
04:35 A tough get even for the tall Solomon.
04:38 Upaldo in the back set.
04:39 Running attack.
04:40 Asis will knock it in.
04:41 Gene Asis.
04:42 What a move.
04:43 Eight point game.
04:44 Alinsug with a serve.
04:46 Good pass by Encarnacion.
04:48 Here's Gene Asis again.
04:49 Wow.
04:50 Gene Asis.
04:51 Let's check that hand.
04:53 So far in the last four to five minutes.
04:56 Nice hit.
04:57 Petalios.
04:58 Cross court.
04:59 Got it.
05:00 No runs.
05:01 This is the team that gave USD a scare in their first two sets in their last game.
05:05 There's a side out by Belen.
05:07 Here's Maaya.
05:08 Three points in the last game.
05:10 She had 15 against Ateneo, by the way.
05:12 Nice receive.
05:13 Yeah.
05:14 Basora puts it away.
05:15 That stops the run.
05:17 They're down by 10.
05:19 Yeah.
05:20 Complete opposite emotion from the first set.
05:24 And they won by eight in the first set, by the way.
05:27 So they may lose by that much or more here in the second set.
05:32 Wow.
05:33 Asis throws it down.
05:35 I mean, going up against USD five sets.
05:39 I mean, they want to win one.
05:41 They want to win one.
05:43 FAU can put it away here.
05:45 Off speed.
05:46 Petalios, he got it.
05:47 What a shot here for Jers Petalios.
05:51 No player from FAU in double digits yet.
05:53 But they've got eight from Petalios and eight from Asis.
05:58 In this match, in solo block there.
06:02 Alinsuk didn't score in the second set.
06:05 With 16.
06:06 But can Solomon lead the team in this third set?
06:12 Another ace for Belen.
06:14 That's her second of set number three.
06:17 Good pass.
06:18 Solomon got it.
06:20 Yes.
06:21 That's the attack that we've been waiting for.
06:25 They're all doing a great job.
06:28 But there needs to be a voice, I would say, for their squad.
06:32 And talking about NU.
06:34 NU.
06:35 Who do you think that's going to come from?
06:38 Alinsuk.
06:39 I think what NU needs is that vocal leader to talk on the
06:45 court.
06:46 I mean, last year that was Jen Yerba.
06:50 So that is what's missing.
06:52 They have.
06:53 Let's see if -- Short pass.
07:00 Petalio catches the line.
07:05 And several times, Jamie.
07:07 Petalio targeting that down the line.
07:11 That's so one.
07:13 But we can't neglect the fact that Petalio is targeting the
07:20 holes of the defensive pattern of NU.
07:23 Belen with her ninth point.
07:26 And she's going to be the one to get it.
07:31 And she's going to be the one to get it.
07:35 And she's going to be the one to get it.
07:39 And she's going to be the one to get it.
07:43 And she's going to be the one to get it.
07:47 And she's going to be the one to get it.
07:51 And she's going to be the one to get it.
07:56 >> Doing a great job of giving her blockers -- her spikers
08:01 rather block at all.
08:03 Let's take a look at that replay.
08:06 Completely fooling the block.
08:08 >> Back to two for NU.
08:10 Their biggest lead again was four points.
08:13 With a nice serve.
08:15 Underhand pass by Ubaldo.
08:17 They go to Tagao.
08:19 >> This is her season high already.
08:22 Aliza Solomon.
08:24 Panangin hits it.
08:26 Solomon again.
08:28 Wow, Solomon is on a roll.
08:31 >> Solomon targeting that zone 5.
08:34 She also did that.
08:36 There's a hole in that defense of FBU.
08:40 >> 19 points now for Aliza Solomon.
08:43 >> And with that third set until Abigail Pono, the rookie
08:47 setter checked in and she helped NU pull away.
08:50 >> Right.
08:52 >> Meanwhile, it's still the same starting 6 for Lady Tams.
09:00 And on the line.
09:02 Down the line for NU in double digits.
09:06 >> Take a look at that gap between Ubaldo and the antenna.
09:10 Very small gap here.
09:14 >> Nice serve.
09:17 >> Combination play.
09:19 11 points already.
09:23 >> A point for a lost set on your screens there.
09:28 >> Team captain Erin Pangilinan.
09:31 >> Serve.
09:33 >> Drop on the line.
09:35 Misjudged by Marga and Kat Mashon.
09:40 >> That's the serve that you aim for in matches like this.
09:45 But I'm going to show not to do that.
09:48 >> A lot of viewers want to find out how do you pull off a
09:51 serve like that?
09:53 >> Especially with a floater serve like that.
09:55 You really have to read your serve.
09:58 But when you go for that, it's the contact of your hand to
10:01 that ball.
10:07 >> Three unanswered points for the Lady Bulldogs.
10:12 Bono to Alinsug.
10:14 Back row off speed.
10:16 Easy pick up for Encarnacion.
10:18 Back row for Petalio.
10:20 It's on the line.
10:22 >> Beautiful.
10:24 Ubaldo going for the back row attack on Petalio.
10:28 >> Only two aces for FU.
10:30 That came way back in set number one.
10:32 Nice post by Bella Benel.
10:34 What an adjustment.
10:36 >> Back row.
10:41 Tagao got caught up with Encarnacion.
10:43 It's an easy over.
10:45 Chance ball for NU.
10:47 What a save by Devo Sora.
10:49 Encarnacion sends it over.
10:51 Another chance ball for the Lady Bulldogs.
10:53 Alinsug.
10:55 The save by Petalio.
10:57 Quick reflexes.
10:59 Petalio attacking.
11:01 Alinsug pushes Devo Sora.
11:03 Another chance ball.
11:05 Back row for NU.
11:07 Can they convert here?
11:09 Alinsug.
11:11 Yes!
11:13 >> You see Bono going to her spikers.
11:15 Whether it's the left pin or right pin.
11:17 >> Torin has not scored since the first set.
11:19 She only has one point.
11:21 Nice push.
11:23 Very deceptive shot for Petalio.
11:25 We remind the viewers, she didn't score in set number two.
11:27 >> It's a good point.
11:29 >> It's a good point.
11:31 >> It's a good point.
11:33 >> It's a good point.
11:35 >> In set number two.
11:37 Nice hit by Panangin.
11:39 Encarnacion popping it up.
11:41 Tagao against the double block.
11:43 Going straight to Solomon with a dig.
11:45 Alinsug.
11:47 Again another dig for Encarnacion.
11:49 Petalio back row.
11:51 They keep going to Solomon trying to tire her out.
11:53 Alinsug off the double block.
11:55 One-hand dig for Ubaldo.
11:57 Another chance ball for NU.
11:59 Alinsug from the middle this time.
12:01 Wow.
12:03 The defense of FU holding up.
12:05 Nice attack.
12:07 Coming from Devo Sora.
12:09 One-two play.
12:11 Picked up easily by FU.
12:13 Tagao against a single block.
12:15 Harjo with a dig.
12:17 Solomon.

12:25 Harjo passes to Alinsug.
12:27 Encarnacion.
12:29 Solomon picking it up.
12:31 Bono passes again at Alinsug with a strong push to Petalio.
12:35 Tagao.
12:37 Wow.
12:39 Impressive defense by both teams.
12:41 Alinsug falling down. Picking it up.
12:43 Tagao.
12:45 Off-speed.
12:47 One-two play for Pangininan.
12:49 Panangin.
12:51 And the rally continues.
12:53 Even the crowd is breathless already.
12:57 Tagao. The block is split.
12:59 Oh, Abigail Pono, the smallest player.
13:01 Aside from Harjo
13:05 with the monster block against Tagao.
13:07 And the ladies are huffing and puffing.
13:09 Two locks. They were locks in the second set.
13:11 They can't neglect the fact that
13:13 FU has been in situations like this.
13:15 Gene Asis. That's dug by Belen.
13:21 And a quick pass.
13:23 And Pangilinan putting it away.
13:25 A quick attack by Pangilinan.
13:27 Against USD.
13:29 And she played in three sets.
13:31 Oh! Can you believe it?
13:33 Back-to-back Asis for Ali DeVosora.
13:35 And this comes after the timeout.
13:37 Alinsug and Harjo in this entire match.
13:39 Belen against two blockers.
13:41 That's outside.
13:43 And a challenge.
13:45 It was close.
13:47 You have Tagao in the front row.
13:49 You even have Petalio in the back row.
13:51 Good serving by Pangilinan.
13:53 Back row for Petalio.
13:55 Belen.
13:59 Overhead pass.
14:01 Gene Asis sets it to Tagao.
14:03 Picked up by Alinsug.
14:05 And a nice block against
14:07 Sheena Turing. Good effort defensively
14:09 at the net by the Lady Tams.
14:11 Actually the set-up corner was a little too low.
14:13 So it's five points
14:15 either way. Five points to tie
14:17 for FU. Five points to win for
14:19 NU. Belen.

14:27 highest output today.
14:29 17 already.

14:55 Topping her 15 point output
14:57 against UP and Coach Norbert Miguel.
