00:00 (crowd cheering)
00:02 - Nogales with a serve and an ace.
00:05 (crowd cheering)
00:05 - You know, I love the fighting spirit of Nogales
00:09 from the left pin, but she's currently
00:12 in the middle right now.
00:13 - Very versatile.
00:15 - Yes.
00:15 - Is Cassie Dongalio.
00:17 (crowd cheering)
00:18 Oh, Adolfo is turned away and it's bearing fruit.
00:22 The presence of Dongalio in the middle
00:24 is at the depth for the Lady Warriors.
00:26 - That's right, you see Coach Albert
00:28 also experimenting on his side by putting the...
00:31 - Hamili with a nice serve.
00:35 Just on the line for Cassie Dongalio.
00:40 - Very, showing much leadership,
00:45 but she's also been the target here
00:47 against the UE Lady Warriors.
00:50 And you can see that she really needs to step up as well.
00:52 She's one of the leaders here in the back
00:54 and she really needs to take control
00:56 of the defense and receive.
00:59 - For Cassie Dongalio, that spike in the set.
01:01 Brodsky by Duncan.
01:02 Pasalibok by Baye.
01:04 (whistle blows)
01:05 Cassie Dongalio.
01:06 Best out with 30 points.
01:10 - Too happy with what you're doing.
01:11 So you really have to showcase that discipline as well.
01:15 - Alcantara with a nice set.
01:17 And Aljibe will knock it in.
01:18 (whistle blows)
01:21 - Alcantara already on her knees,
01:22 but still providing points for...
01:26 (crowd cheering)
01:28 - Lalong Isig, yes!
01:32 - And that's a smart play coming from Yandog.
01:35 A combination play here.
01:36 What I was saying earlier,
01:38 Yandog really needs to switch it up a bit.
01:40 She can't have the offense be too predictable.
01:43 - Three point game.
01:45 Matriaga out to Balingit.
01:50 Off the block.
01:51 Cassie Balingit will score.
01:54 But in her third year already playing for Adamson.
01:57 Good pass.
01:58 Balingit got it.
02:01 Side out, UE.
02:02 - Nice serve.
02:05 - For UE.
02:06 Yandog.
02:07 They go to the middle and Adolfo delivers.
02:11 - Also, for the floor,
02:12 they are not making it easier on her.
02:13 They keep targeting her for the receipts.
02:17 - Donette Adolfo serving.
02:18 She won an MVP award in an off-season tournament
02:21 prior to season 86.
02:22 Donggallo will knock it in.
02:24 And again, carrot for the floor.
02:26 - Coach Ude is very disciplined as well.
02:30 - Another short serve,
02:31 but a nice set there by Matriaga.
02:34 First service ace for Donggallo now with seven points.
02:40 For the floor, not a good pass.
02:42 Lalo Isig, block for the floor.
02:44 Great coverage.
02:45 Lalo Isig again.
02:47 Matriaga, there's a buzzer.
02:52 Coach Ude will stop play and challenge for a net touch.
02:56 - That cannot happen with a game like this.
02:59 - Donggallo from the middle.
03:02 Oh, triple block against Cassie Donggallo.
03:05 Nowhere to go.
03:06 Oh, what a lucky serve.
03:12 It stayed at the top of the net
03:14 for like a split second before dropping.
03:17 - Coming from the left pin.
03:19 - Good pass by Balingit.
03:22 (crowd cheering)
03:24 And Claire Castillo with a career high.
03:28 Ancheta with a serve, Adamson leading by two.
03:34 Balingit, off the block.
03:39 Balingit again.
03:40 Yandoc pops it up.
03:42 Ancheta passes.
03:44 Lalo Isig, good save by Aljibe.
03:48 Gonna be a chance ball here for UE.
03:50 Matriaga, Balingit against a single blocker.
03:54 Almost overpassed.
03:56 Another chance ball, second in a row.
03:59 Nogales.
04:00 There's a block, Nogales will score.
04:05 Overpass.
04:11 Hernandez with the reception fault and
04:15 - See Lalo Isig being aggressive here with that overpass.
04:21 Coming from Hernandez.
04:22 - Much better pass by Castillo.
04:28 Balingit with a push.
04:29 Where the floor sets it up for Adolfo.
04:33 Oh, what a roof.
04:34 - Nogales maximizing her height.
04:37 This second set.
04:39 She has the height, you have to somehow avoid her hand.
04:43 You can go for an offbeat.
04:44 - Contributing six, Lalo Isig only scored one point
04:48 in their first meeting.
04:49 Bad pass there by Castillo.
04:51 But somehow they make something out of it and try to.
04:56 - Take a look at that, that's a solo block.
05:01 - Castillo against a triple block.
05:10 And they get the side out.
05:12 Down by two.
05:14 - They're softening that block,
05:17 which is allowing them to run their offense smoothly.
05:19 Nice set.
05:22 - Amili, popped up by Donggalio.
05:25 Here comes Balingit.
05:27 - Too short.
05:27 - Yandok to Ancheta.
05:30 Nice block by Nogales.
05:31 So back to back points for the Lady Warriors.
05:34 Lalo Isig, she was urged to hit it hard
05:44 and that's exactly what she did after the timeout.
05:46 Great response.
05:47 - Down the line.
05:48 It's a beautiful set as well, the reverse set,
05:52 but Donggalio not being able to react early enough.
05:56 - So it's four set points for Adamson.
05:59 Not a good first ball there.
06:02 Balingit, off speed.
06:05 Huegos with the up.
06:06 Lalo Isig looking for the finish.
06:08 Not just yet.
06:09 Fernandez to Nogales with a tip.
06:11 Yes!
06:11 - Nogales trying to find a ways.
06:16 Nogales, by the way, already with 10 points.
06:19 Her fourth game in double digits for UE.
06:21 Lalo Isig looking to put it away.
06:24 Fernandez picking it up.
06:26 Donggalio, got it.
06:28 So three set points saved by the Lady Warriors.
06:35 Yandok.
06:36 They go to that combination play.
06:39 Lalo Isig delivers the winning point, 11.
06:44 - Lalo Isig being the go-to striker here.
06:49 - Lady Falcons looking to win back-to-back sets
06:51 as Yandok gets his going.
06:53 Set number three.
06:54 Balingit.
06:57 Running attack there for Aljibe.
07:01 A little back row hit coming from Fernandez.
07:07 Adolfo.
07:08 Nogales popping it up.
07:10 Nogales now with 10 points.
07:13 Adolfo, cross court, picked up by Fernandez.
07:17 A nice long rally to start off set number three.
07:21 Yandok to Aljibe with a push.
07:23 Fernandez again, she's been defending very well
07:25 on the floor.
07:26 Power push by Balingit.
07:28 Hamili out to Lalo Isig.
07:30 Didn't like it, passed it underhand.
07:32 Chance ball for UE.
07:33 One-two play.
07:34 Madriaga delivers the first point of set number three.
07:38 - Madriaga being aggressive with that one-two play,
07:41 finding that hold of defense of Adams.
07:44 - Madriaga with her first point of the game.
07:48 - Her level of maturity in terms of in-game adjustments
07:52 and smart plays are showing,
07:53 especially in that second set with double digits.
07:56 You know, she only has two playing years left.
07:58 She says that games like this still give her ditters,
08:01 but she will make the most of it.
08:02 - Targeting the main gun here.
08:05 The scoring machine of Lalo Isig.
08:08 - Adolfo, cross court, got it.
08:11 Adolfo just going for that cross court attack of defense
08:15 on the side of the Lady Warriors.
08:17 Also, there's no unison in that block between.
08:21 - Vertiflor, there's Adolfo.
08:28 Picked up by UE and Don Gallo will knock it in.
08:33 10 points now for Cassie Dongali.
08:36 - Holding the hand of Anceta here.
08:37 Take a look at the sequence.
08:40 Smart play.
08:41 And putting Don Gallo in the middle.
08:45 - Hamili, oh!
08:46 Single blocker, a farby Hamili.
08:49 Punishes.
08:50 Antoinette Adolfo with a nice serve.
08:54 - Nice hit.
08:55 - Oh, Fernandez, nowhere to go.
08:57 Great block by Anceta as we check in with Allison Cole.
09:00 UE right now, 14 serving 10.
09:03 - Nice serve.
09:04 - Ooh, a lot of miscommunication there
09:09 for Adamson.
09:11 Fernandez, Vertiflor with a kneeling dig.
09:13 Aljide will knock it in.
09:16 - I think this is the first clean attacks.
09:18 - Nogales and Don Gallo with 13 each.
09:22 Hamili, picked up by Madriaga.
09:27 Oh, smart play from Cassie Dongali now with 14.
09:32 Against UST and Mayang Nike
09:37 coming off a 10 point performance.
09:39 She has not seen a second of action,
09:41 but Hamili almost delivering a point.
09:44 - Well, luckily for the young guns of Adamson,
09:46 they're really helping their squad here.
09:49 - Hamili overpass and an easy put away for Don Gallo
09:55 who now has 15.
09:57 - Nice serve.
10:04 Don Gallo, oh, nice block by Anceta.
10:07 - They're coming from that left pin.
10:10 - Oh, what a nice hit by Hamili on the cross court.
10:19 UE, they want to protect their advantage.
10:24 Nogales, yes.
10:27 - Nogales with that big quick attack.
10:34 Nice serve.
10:34 - Pascon.
10:37 One another one to play by Kizzi Madriaga.
10:43 Good pass.
10:49 Balingit finds the opening and knocks it in.
10:53 - Explosive approach coming from Balingit.
10:57 - UE a point away from going up.
11:01 Two sets to one.
11:04 They do it easily by an ace.
11:06 - Lalong Isip, oh, with a nice serve.
11:12 Isip, Lalong Isip with her first ace of the game.
11:15 - 4-1 start for the Lady Falcons.
11:20 Not a good pass there, Don Gallo.
11:21 What a set number one for Madriaga and what a kill.
11:26 All right, thank you, Lexi.
11:28 Back to back points for Cassie Don Gallo
11:31 and now has 19.
11:33 There's a quick side out for Adamson.
11:35 - Alchibet providing points here.
11:38 And then also in the left.
11:39 So I think Adamson needs to be more stabilized
11:43 when it comes to the defensive pattern.
11:45 - But Antoinette Adolfo.
11:47 - Amongst the girls.
11:49 - Well, making an appearance, veteran Mayang Nike
11:52 for the first time in the game.
11:53 Nike with a dig after the serve.
11:57 Nogales, that's on the line.
11:59 (crowd cheering)
12:02 Oh, nice pass.
12:08 Yanduk, a sharp set.
12:10 - Nice set.
12:16 - And an answer.
12:19 Casey Baligin with a side out for Yui.
12:22 Nice block, Don Gallo.
12:28 (crowd cheering)
12:31 So one point game, 11 serving 12.
12:34 Combination play, and Adolfo
12:39 with back to back points for Adamson.
12:41 One, two play for Yanduk.
12:47 Don Gallo from the back row catches the line.
12:51 23 now for Cassie Don Gallo.
12:54 Yui on a two point run.
12:55 They take the lead right back.
12:57 But Aljide answers with her eighth point.
13:01 Yanduk serving at 18 all.
13:07 Baligin with a push.
13:09 Verde floor.
13:12 Adolfo gets it.
13:14 Dara Nieva checking in for Nogales.
13:21 Nieva with the dig.
13:26 - Nice set.
13:27 - Don Gallo turned away by Aljide.
13:30 Hamili.
13:38 Oh, nice dig from Baligin.
13:41 And again, Cassie Don Gallo.
13:44 Now with 25.
13:45 - In the middle and providing points.
13:47 I mean, Eric, when you're in the middle,
13:49 you don't have to set middle attacks.
13:52 But you can see that
13:53 Tres is the set that is working for her.
13:56 - And there's your goal again.
13:58 26.
13:58 Don Gallo ties her output in the first meeting.
14:03 - For Yui.
14:04 - And they're also three points away
14:06 from getting revenge after that first beating loss.
14:11 Oh, 27 now for Cassie Don Gallo.
14:16 Bascon, the rookie out of Adamson High School.
14:21 Don Gallo got it.
14:24 Four match points.
14:25 Yui on the verge of-
14:28 - From Gallo.
14:30 I mean, it's something that has been mastered
14:32 and it's perfect timing for the second round.
14:35 - That's outside.
14:36 Adolfo mishits the point already given to Yui,
14:40 but there will be a challenge.
14:41 An unsuccessful challenge,
14:46 and it looks like it will be.
14:48 Unsuccessful challenge for coach Yune.
14:52 Margarita with some acrobatic moves on the court
14:56 as Yui snaps a six game losing streak.
