00:00 You know, the improvement, the trajectory has been really going up for them.
00:04 Think about that statement that you just made on there.
00:06 You're talking about Angel Canino, a second-year player,
00:09 and yet, her effect while she was out,
00:13 that's how you can see the challenge.
00:16 And we're talking about the UP game.
00:18 Remember, Contra Vincent, he was not happy after that game,
00:21 and then it followed up.
00:23 And you know, talking about Lapot, it's just impressive how fast she has improved.
00:27 That's just amazing.
00:28 Not just the volleyball IQ, but also the athleticism.
00:31 Acting on this season, she's really been focusing on this co-captain role,
00:37 and it's enabled her to discover her leadership style,
00:40 which consists of a lot of one-on-one conversations with her Blue Eagles.
00:44 Leanne also emphasizes a lot of accountability within her squad,
00:49 saying, "I can't expect things from the team."
00:52 Always with the heavy serves, targeted serves.
00:56 Always wants to put their opponent out of system.
01:00 Like that. That's a perfect example of which.
01:04 And Lapot...
01:07 going over the blockers.
01:11 Lapot...
01:14 trying to save that one.
01:18 She's at number three.
01:20 She now has 100 coming into the game with 174 spikes.
01:24 She only had 77 last year.
01:27 Fabilo, in the meantime, is another example of a jump.
01:32 De Guzman with the approach. La Rosa saw that coming.
01:41 Gagate asking for it.
01:43 And De Guzman could not keep it in play.
01:45 Sorry, that's Tsunoshima, couldn't keep it in play.
01:48 From defense to offense.
01:52 De Guzman on the open, trying to go for the swipe.
01:55 La Rosa has been...
01:57 sharp, reading her.
02:00 Good first ball there.
02:08 But...
02:10 double block!
02:12 16-7!
02:14 Casey Cortez was the one who...
02:17 coached Suryo.
02:19 Coach Suryo...
02:21 also used a lot in that game.
02:24 Oh man, the blocking of De La Salle.
02:28 ...on the strength and blocking.
02:30 Just reading all the offense of Ateneo so well.
02:35 Two blockers again there against Leanda Guzman.
02:38 And this is also for La Salle throughout the years.
02:41 They really try to close down the leading scorer,
02:44 the leader of their opponent.
02:46 And right now, they are closing Leanda Guzman in that second attempt.
02:51 And Coronel and Gagate on this left pin here.
02:54 Look at them, they're almost not moving anymore.
02:57 And then obviously, as you know, Ariel...
02:59 EP Collegiate Volleyball, that's really foundational gears...
03:04 for these players.
03:06 Great point.
03:09 Coverage by Malaluan this time.
03:13 Lapu trying to identify that hole.
03:16 Malaluan goes cross.
03:21 Doromal was there waiting.
03:23 Doromal again, taking it straight in the chest.
03:28 But Ateneo unable to keep it up.
03:31 Misjudged it. - That's true.
03:34 Running attack.
03:37 Easy dump by Tea Gagate.
03:40 They did get the point anyway.
03:43 And the second referee didn't allow it anymore.
03:46 Off the rebound. Good reaction there.
03:49 Left hand dig by Guzman, but again...
03:53 Tox.
04:01 Coronel.
04:03 Lapu goes for the power tip.
04:09 Off the rebound. Doromal gets it.
04:12 Reverses to Tsurishima.
04:15 Good attack for them.
04:18 12 serving 23 here...
04:22 in the first.
04:24 Porvido still able to score, even with a deflection there.
04:32 Good pass.
04:38 And that was out.
04:40 Good angle there for Tsurishima.
04:44 That's true. And again, they won that game against UST.
04:49 That was a big win for them.
04:51 We were talking about it, you and I, when we were there at Ateneo.
04:57 Whoever is gonna be on the top seed.
04:59 You're gonna need that twice to be in advantage.
05:01 Whoever is number one.
05:03 As Gagate is on a mission today.
05:05 9 points.
05:07 The goal of Lasal is to set up Gagate.
05:10 And it has been working for them.
05:12 In previous matches, from going to the middles.
05:15 They've been so Shavanna Lapu.
05:18 That's true. Wing attackers.
05:20 But if they want the UST, they want everyone to be involved in attacking.
05:28 And you want Gagate, Porvido to produce points.
05:32 So that everyone is athletic.
05:34 With the protocols, with the digging and all of that.
05:36 So we probably are nearing that.
05:39 The time when she will come back.
05:41 And we will not be surprised if we see her next Sunday.
05:44 Her mom's presence alone helps Shavanna focus and give her best efforts.
05:48 Shavanna's mom also extends her maternal care to her teammates.
05:51 As she tries to be a mom for the ladies' bikers too.
05:54 Giving her motherly love and support wherever she can.
05:56 And whether good or bad game, Shavanna shared that she can't help but get emotional when she greets her mom.
06:01 As in her words, after a game, there's nothing like a mother's hug.
06:05 This report is brought to you by the Filipinas Live App.
06:09 Really high standards.
06:10 And again with how sharp Lazada is playing.
06:12 You know, Ateneo couldn't find their footing in this game.
06:15 Not yet for them.
06:17 Porvido.
06:25 Good coverage by Taks.
06:27 Sobi.
06:29 From behind.
06:30 La Rosa.
06:32 Sent back.
06:35 Julia will turn into striker here.
06:37 Then they open up to La Rosa on the other end.
06:39 Good blocking so far by Ateneo.
06:41 Porvido.
06:44 Nobody getting the second ball on the transition plays.
06:48 Cornell will go back to Laput.
06:56 Sent back to Lazada.
06:58 De Leon.
06:59 Lazada scrambling here.
07:00 Malaluan off the rebound.
07:01 Sobi.
07:02 That is near go time.
07:07 Malapit na.
07:09 Again, important game coming for them.
07:12 Wala ka namang plano sa linggo.
07:17 Everyone's gonna pause their life and sit down and watch volleyball on that day.
07:24 Covering UE and USDA.
07:26 And covering some prolific scorers.
07:29 Tongayo and Poyos.
07:32 Poyos again.
07:33 For that school.
07:35 Since we're showing her.
07:38 We'll give you some numbers in a bit.
07:42 Kagate in the meantime.
07:46 Malaluan crosses.
07:49 The only player in UAP women's history.
07:53 Scored 267.
07:56 These are this as a rookie, by the way.
07:59 Eliza Valdez as a rookie scored 200.
08:01 Faith Nesperos as a rookie scored 267.
08:05 That's a big number for a rookie.
08:07 Speaking of big numbers.
08:09 Laput continues to add on and rack it up.
08:13 He's serious about getting this one.
08:24 And I guess he wants to get it easily too.
08:26 Chance here.
08:28 Provido again.
08:29 Rolls into the other side.
08:31 The second attempt.
08:34 Spike of the set brought to you by Duncan Pasalubong of FAYA.
08:38 She's got five.
08:39 No one there on the side of Ateneo.
08:42 Going cross court for Provido.
08:44 A lot of adjustments.
08:46 In terms of players for Ateneo.
08:49 Casey Cortez.
08:52 To Buena for the rebound.
08:54 De Leon.
08:55 He's surprised to see.
08:57 I guess he has that departure really.
09:05 Working well for them and just being effective all throughout.
09:11 There's always a chance, right?
09:13 When he's in your corner.
09:15 He's going to come up with something.
09:17 It's quite of an off game for them.
09:31 Good serve.
09:36 La Rosa off the fingertips.
09:38 Drops it anyway.
09:40 Caramala again with another good pass.
09:48 As La Rosa and Pastriac.
09:50 Will collide.
09:52 Goes over.
09:54 Touches the net.
09:55 They'll be watching this game too.
09:57 And this is the game to watch too.
10:03 Because you're watching a sharp.
10:05 That's true.
10:06 You want to scout them at their best also, right?
10:09 The Guzman has been contained here in this match.
10:14 The Roman has been great for Ateneo.
10:17 That drops in.
10:19 About the biggest lessons she's learned this season.
10:28 86.
10:29 Zell told me while developing an aggressive skill set.
10:32 Is important.
10:33 An aggressive mindset.
10:35 AC guiding it to La Rosa.
10:37 It's a great set by Coronel.
10:41 Thank you very much, Patrice.
10:44 I have a question to you, connected to something like that.
10:47 Let's get through this rally first.
10:49 As La Rosa scores VLSU's fifth point.
10:53 When you're in the UAP, you're in their 13th game already.
10:57 Take me through.
10:59 You know, you're as a student.
11:01 Are you, what's he, are you hoping that it's over soon?
11:07 Or not like that.
11:08 But you know what I mean.
11:09 What are you guys feeling knowing that there's still school?
11:13 That's the goal.
11:14 But when Patrice mentioned that the word stress.
11:17 No, that's pretty normal.
11:19 We all know that because, you know, being a student athlete is no easy job.
11:24 You have to go to school.
11:25 You have to train.
11:26 Switch for more.
11:29 Switch for more details.
11:32 8-4 is our score.
11:34 Third set, LaSalle running along like a well-oiled engine.
11:39 Provido earlier with a powerful spike.
11:42 That's another one from Malia Malaluan.
11:44 Five serving nine.
11:55 Those of their own medicine here for De La Salle as they encounter.
12:00 Down three.
12:02 Laput from behind.
12:04 Back attack from Shevana gives her her ninth point of the match.
12:10 Gagate asking for it.
12:17 Oh, good.
12:18 Good reaction by Basia there to keep it up.
12:21 Surprisingly got the first one.
12:24 To get to it.
12:25 Desperos.
12:28 Teleon with a dig.
12:32 Minor.
12:34 Teleon with a pancake.
12:36 Malaluan gets us going for this rally.
12:39 Casey has set very well.
12:45 The last game against.
12:46 You see how they're a bit scrambling in defense.
12:52 Another good pass.
12:53 Lambert is denied by Minor.
12:56 3-0 run.
12:58 Desperos goes to De Leon.
13:06 And Gagate identifies the open spot.
13:10 Drops it.
13:12 15 serving 13.
13:14 Chance for a foul.
13:21 Chance ball for the white and green.
13:24 Underhand set to La Rosa.
13:26 Sent back. La Rosa with the reaction.
13:28 Chance to counter for the Blue Eagles.
13:31 They go to Leon.
13:32 Right behind the blockers.
13:33 Provido is there.
13:34 Laput.
13:36 Soft touch.
13:37 Denied and it bounces out.
13:50 1-2 play.
13:51 And Casey Cortez with the element of surprise.
13:55 16.
13:57 Desperos rolls it to the other side.
14:04 Smart.
14:05 But Coronel with the reaction here.
14:06 Chance again to attack.
14:07 Desperos looks at the defense.
14:09 Oh!
14:13 This one moves out.
14:15 Their form here in this match.
14:18 Against their collegiate rivals.
14:20 Spanos will continue to try.
14:26 Off the bench.
14:28 The push.
14:32 Why not?
14:35 Why not?
14:36 In front of her.
14:40 That's true.
14:41 Stepped up big today.
14:43 Bad pass.
14:46 He said no!
14:47 Miner.
14:49 Laput.
14:51 But it worked out.
14:52 With the adjustment by Shabana Laput.
14:56 Finding an open.
14:58 Don't let hold.
