Transcript

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.
