00:00 And you have up their sleeve, of course, they won the first time that they met and they won it in four sets.
00:07 Problematic already at the start of the first set.
00:10 You don't want to see off balls like that.
00:14 And a service ace for Lasal!
00:17 That was a good floater from Del Vilar.
00:20 And that's tricky, you know, if the serve is a floater and suddenly drops.
00:26 And they've tallied a total of unofficially four attack points.
00:30 And two aces after that ace coming from J.M.
00:35 Roquillo.
00:36 The hard serves received there by Almendra's quick hit by Peng.
00:42 That's in, that's going to be an NU point.
00:45 Turns down the lead to four.
00:48 Let's look at that again.
00:50 There's the lead for the green shirts.
00:56 Almendra's there for the pickup.
00:58 They go for a quick.
00:59 And a bawe from Taguibulos.
01:01 A single block.
01:03 Look at that.
01:05 How would you describe that?
01:08 The center was in.
01:10 And you're playing catch up.
01:11 The attainable goal that Coach Dante said was, "Bago mag 20, humabul tayo."
01:17 But now, Del Vilar helps Lasal pull away.
01:23 Look at that.
01:25 Be quick.
01:26 Right in between the blockers.
01:29 On the net and on the court.
01:32 As Lasal's playing catch up here.
01:35 NU's playing catch up here rather.
01:37 They're down by seven against Lasal.
01:39 Maglinao gets that through, making an eight point lead.
01:42 Eight set points for the Alesios Del Vilar serves to Manguir.
01:47 And that, well, oh!
01:49 What an adjustment for Taguibulos.
01:52 Why we're seeing it as a characteristic man is because in all scoring skills.
01:58 Serve coming from Peng.
02:01 Menard was there.
02:02 They go up for Maglinao for the tip.
02:05 And that ends set number one in favor of DLSU.
02:10 The stiffness of hips coming from the most efficient player.
02:16 To lose everything for you to want to regain everything back.
02:20 Adahar goes up to Maglinao.
02:23 Red well there by Sumangui.
02:25 Biscuitado getting a check and finding the line.
02:30 Serve coming from Ayingo.
02:35 Adahar going up to Ronquillo.
02:38 And that's because of that.
02:40 It's a learning moment.
02:41 To create points on their own.
02:48 For DLSU.
02:51 Going for that jump float.
02:54 Straight to Sumangui.
02:55 Over-received.
02:56 Guyer was there for the pick up.
02:58 Adahar getting aggressive.
02:59 Almendaz will try to play catch up.
03:02 Free ball coming from Sumangui.
03:04 On the other side.
03:05 A short run coming from Anima.
03:09 Look at the celebration of the LaSalle fans here as Billy Anima goes.
03:15 You know, at least in the second set, LaSalle can catch up.
03:19 They're trying to really match that energy on the side of Ennio.
03:23 If not, even surpass it.
03:25 And that will be a question here in the second set.
03:28 Will LaSalle allow to be surpassed as LaSalle.
03:33 They're quite unpredictable.
03:36 When you see the variety of returns that they've done.
03:39 They've scored quite a number of points even in the first set.
03:42 Maintaining his composure on the sidelines.
03:47 We actually have two of the very chill coaches of the UAMAP here.
03:51 As we see, this combination play might just be the fire starter that Ennio needs.
04:03 1-3 as Ennio.
04:05 Serve coming from Almendaz.
04:08 Adahar will set this up.
04:10 Oh, solid block there coming from Aingo.
04:15 Maglinao serves for the green shirts.
04:17 Going for the jump float.
04:19 Straight to Budin.
04:22 Almendaz adjusts.
04:23 Buds through the blockers.
04:27 Oh, through the block to El Capitan.
04:33 Four-point lead for LaSalle.
04:34 Serve coming from Adahar.
04:37 Over-received.
04:39 Del Pilar's plan worked.
04:40 On the other side, Almendaz going up to get Tamar.
04:44 Denied by Cam for Taguibolo.
04:46 Single block by Del Pilar.
04:50 Giving Ennio a rather six-point lead.
04:53 You know, Ennio needs to get themselves together.
04:55 You see that from their body language, it is very different.
05:00 You know, I'll add something to that.
05:01 I got to talk to Menard here, the liber.
05:04 And I asked him, "What's your strategy?"
05:07 He said, "Nothing, we'll just play what we play."
05:09 It's 11 games already for Ennio, 10 games for LaSalle only.
05:13 So there's a lot of things in contention still as we see another point.
05:17 And a set point for DLSU.
05:22 For the win, is this combination play coming from J.M. Romquillo.
05:32 Before this set started, they were really trying to pump themselves up,
05:35 you know, on that side of the court.
05:38 And you're seeing just from that serve of Oretamar and that block,
05:42 this is starting to look like a different Ennio Bulbos today.
05:46 Maybe it's Coach Dante.
05:49 It's about time. Why is he playing after two sets?
05:53 While he's being corny.
05:56 That's why he's not listening to his players.
05:59 He really decides, "I'll call this."
06:02 That's in for Ennio.
06:07 Ayengonau to serve.
06:10 Captain is there for reception.
06:12 Captain from the pipe.
06:15 Shant, a bit.
06:17 Free ball coming from Sumanggi.
06:19 They go up to a combination play.
06:21 Vince Maglina.
06:23 That works for DLSU.
06:26 That was a good one.
06:32 Getting the blockers.
06:34 The plays are slow. It's because it's really been an exchange.
06:37 It's been a tug of war as to who's going to win it.
06:41 No one is pulling away. No one is letting go.
06:45 As Camton goes cross court, getting a check there.
06:48 Diao popping this one up.
06:50 Oh!
06:52 Set it up for Eko Adar.
06:55 Like a gift.
06:57 From one setter to another.
07:00 Owar, Etamar going for the stop.
07:02 But then there's Eko Adar going for the quick hit.
07:06 We're still on the side.
07:08 The ones who aren't playing.
07:11 They go up to Campton. Cross court.
07:13 Diao was there.
07:15 Almendras answering. Going down the line.
07:18 The hard to serve.
07:24 They're down by one.
07:26 14 excellent sets already in this ball game.
07:28 Picked up there by Almendras.
07:30 They go up to a back quick.
07:32 Redwell by Campton. On the other side.
07:34 They go to Almendras.
07:36 Cover just there.
07:38 But that is not going to stay alive.
07:41 Look at that.
07:46 Serve now.
07:52 Coming from Almendras.
07:54 They're up by one.
07:56 Adar going up to Ronquillo.
07:58 This is what you want to see if you're a LaSalle supporter.
08:04 Serve coming from Gloria.
08:06 Eugene Gloria with that serve.
08:08 Ayingo off the blockers.
08:10 Maglino keeps this alive.
08:12 They go up.
08:16 Ayingo.
08:18 What a block.
08:20 Wow.
08:22 And you know for NU, this isn't the position you want to be in.
08:26 They're really trying to protect.
08:28 You know, that twice to beat advantage.
08:30 And especially when you're very close to the semis.
08:34 One point game here between LaSalle and NU.
08:39 And that is going to get a check as per the officials.
08:46 Who's been a constant rotation for service.
08:50 And in the back line will serve as that ball.
08:56 Let's see if things will swing to their side as that serve comes from Belistino on LaSalle.
09:04 Ronquillo from the pipe.
09:08 Serving for the green shirts.
09:11 Picked up there by Budin.
09:13 They go up to Almendras who gets denied by Del Pilar and Ronquillo.
09:18 They now have match point advantage on the side of the green Spikers.
09:23 You thought it was over? They extended and extended.
09:26 As we get that serve coming from Taguibulos.
09:29 Maglino tying the ball game at 30.
09:34 Still on the third set.
09:36 First two sets won by DLSU JM Ronquillo with 16 points to serve the captain of the green Spikers.
09:43 Etamar one handed set going to Budin.
09:46 Off the hands of Guerreiro.
09:48 The gentleman on the floor that serve coming from Budin.
09:54 Anima with that hit.
09:56 Guerreiro with digging that one.
09:58 Campton from the pipe kept alive there by Almendras.
10:02 Budin to the blockers.
10:04 Guerreiro was there.
10:06 They go to Maglino.
10:08 Kept alive by Sumanguin.
10:09 Nagsasagutan ang Olivero dito.
10:11 Off the hands of the blockers was Budin.
10:13 Maglino off speed.
10:16 Oh!
10:18 Doing a bit of punting.
10:20 And punting distraction at the net.
10:23 As we see this serve coming from Maglino.
10:26 31 all.
10:27 He's been having aces earlier but this time that's picked up by Almendras.
10:32 And now Vanilla getting that point just when they need it.
10:37 Good area to target.
10:39 Also was not injected in this match against Ataneo.
10:43 Ronquillo will hit that ball out.
10:48 You know it wasn't like this when they started off this game.
10:52 Peng with 7 points already in this ball game.
10:54 Combination play for Lasal works.
10:57 Tied at 4.
10:59 Good serve for DLSU.
11:04 Picked up there by Almendras.
11:05 On the other side.
11:06 Quick hit!
11:07 Sordiao!
11:11 For NU, this is what Coach Dante was saying.
11:14 For Lasal, they've only scored 5 points.
11:18 Out of the 10-5 were giveaways from NU.
11:21 But Lasal continues to score.
11:27 We have some viewers here who are already waiting for the women's game.
11:31 But no guys, this is a very exciting men's match here.
11:35 NU to serve with Peng.
11:38 Campton was there.
11:40 They go up to Maglino who's been quite silent here.
11:44 Of course a lot of things happening now.
11:48 Thank you for catching us wherever you may be via the Philippines live app or the UAP varsity channel.
11:53 Or may that be on OneSports.
11:55 As you see, that hit is coming from Gianna Abanilla.
12:00 Squad from TAF, the serve now coming from Anima.
12:05 Picked up there by Samunggi.
12:06 On the other side, they go up to Almendras with a combination play that works for Nico.
12:13 Leads at the heart to serve.
12:15 Picked up there by Almendras.
12:18 They go up to Nico.
12:19 Nico tipping it over and converting for NU.
12:23 Seems like most of these returns, the drop, the ones that don't get hit.
12:28 From NU.
12:31 Picked up there by Guerre.
12:32 On the other side.
12:34 They go up to Ronquillo.
12:36 Owa going up to Almendras.
12:39 Tight angle.
12:40 Great coverage from DLSU.
12:42 Sumanggi was there for the pick up.
12:44 They go to Nico.
12:45 Almendras!
12:50 Going for the jump float.
12:52 Picked up there by Almendras.
12:53 They go for a back wick.
12:54 Go peng!
12:55 Taguibulos!
12:57 What a play!
12:59 The green shirts.
13:02 Pick up there by Almendras.
13:03 One handed set to Diao.
13:06 He's been very efficient there at the middle.
13:09 All involved.
13:11 And that is just a testament to the 16 attack points that they've tallied just in the set alone.
13:16 Anima trying for an angle there.
13:19 Oh!
13:22 We talked about outsmarting the opponent.
13:25 And oh, what a production for Vince.
13:28 Today he already outproduces himself back in the first round against NU.
13:33 Budin!
13:34 Bounce ball!
13:37 That's the return.
13:39 We've seen it in the third set.
13:41 How far will you go?
13:43 That's what they said.
13:45 Almendras!
13:46 Off the blockers!
13:49 And the volleyball team.
13:52 They're just shy.
13:54 While waiting for their game.
13:57 Captain!
13:58 The Miscarte as instructed by Coach Joe.
14:02 Much needed point.
14:04 But they would be needing more than mere firepower.
14:07 They have to outsmart Lasal here as Oa goes quick to peng.
14:11 Peng on the second try.
14:13 Denied there by Del Pilar.
14:16 Almendras going for an 11 point but that is blocked by Lasal.
14:19 Maybe we're reaching for 40 this time.
14:23 They go up to Avanilia.
14:25 Avanilia cross court.
14:27 Guer was there.
14:28 Then he went on and blocked Maglina.
14:32 Oh!
14:35 And that's it!
14:38 But Coach Dante!
14:40 Two feet.
14:43 He stepped on the line.
14:45 But the heel.
14:46 Waiting for the official call.
14:49 Yes.
14:50 There is no center line call.
