00:00 As compared to the first time that they met in the first round.

00:03 We did see a lot of injuries come for Ateneo late in round number one.

00:10 But still they're able to get good victories against UST.

00:13 Cross court hit, nice dig by Mangulabnan.

00:16 And it's Ken Batas.

00:17 Coverage is there.

00:19 Batas again down the line.

00:22 He's still in the game and he's performing as well as he scores that point for UP.

00:29 2-1 for the Maroons.

00:31 Batas from the other angle.

00:32 Beautiful read.

00:33 Full front line for Clarence Santiago.

00:38 Nice to see.

00:39 Back row for Gian.

00:40 He's been working on that.

00:42 But it's saved by UP.

00:43 Counter for Leganda who's rejected by Emil Pacino.

00:47 While UP is dead last in receptions.

00:53 That was a good receive though.

00:54 Nice dig by Jan Mangulabnan.

00:57 Salarzon.

00:58 Good coverage by Lance.

01:00 Back to Gian.

01:02 Cross.

01:03 13-9.

01:06 Pacino, two points to his name.

01:08 Strong serve again.

01:10 Mangulabnan off of his receive.

01:12 What a dig by the league's best in Lance De Castro.

01:16 And it leads on to that hit by Ken Batas.

01:18 Take a look at that drop shot.

01:28 Nice receive by JV Malabanan.

01:30 Legando read beautifully, perfectly by Gian Salarzon.

01:35 Where to go there for Legando.

01:37 Salarzon nearly closing all the possible spaces that he can go to.

01:43 Is that single block?

01:46 Oh, definitely.

01:47 Is it the best though?

01:49 Well, a kill could also be.

01:52 It depends on, you know, if you're a defensive player,

01:54 then that kill block would definitely really taste very good.

01:58 Oh, nice block by Jet Gopio.

02:00 Back row for Loiza.

02:02 Well put up by Gian Mangulabnan.

02:05 Big ace to the right, he said.

02:06 It almost worked.

02:08 And here's UP with Jelai.

02:10 What a dig by Pacino.

02:11 Batas again.

02:14 That's in.

02:14 Credit half of that point to Emil Pacino.

02:19 Then again, you'll take it if you're a Tineo.

02:21 Takulan sends it in off of the float.

02:25 Mangulabnan giving up a chance ball.

02:28 Sorry, that was Malabanan.

02:31 And it's Batas who scores again.

02:33 That's a steady coach, Vip, because Tineo has been reading the defense of UP.

02:38 More specifically, Kennedy Batas.

02:40 That's right.

02:40 Now gets a block point alongside Jet Gopio.

02:44 14 serving 22.

02:47 Received by Pacino.

02:52 Gopio reaching for it.

02:54 Gamban with a dig.

02:55 Eusebio onto Jelai.

02:57 Kind of low.

02:57 And here's JV Malabanan.

03:01 Ball put up by Ateneo.

03:03 Back set.

03:04 Batas!

03:04 What a set number one.

03:06 He's in double figures.

03:07 23-14.

03:11 Ken Batas.

03:12 Signature jump serve.

03:14 Inside.

03:15 Have your way.

03:17 Now it's a 10-point advantage.

03:19 10 set points.

03:20 Santiago onto the quick.

03:23 UP badly needed that one.

03:24 But their middle so far, you know, they have not been denied just yet.

03:28 Let's see if Nicolas can step up.

03:31 He's at the front row.

03:32 Salarzon, speaking of people at the front row.

03:35 He will finish set number one.

03:38 He missed that at set number one.

03:40 Served by Loiza.

03:43 5-3 for UP.

03:44 Gopio.

03:45 Ball put up by Earl Eusebio.

03:47 And here's JV Malabanan.

03:48 Red check to Ateneo.

03:51 Which should be a good sign because we're only at 10-5 in set number two.

03:56 Back row for Gian.

03:58 I did mention he's been working on that.

04:00 And he told me that.

04:03 Yes, Pacino, Batas and Nakulan right up there.

04:07 Pacino challenging Santiago and he prevails.

04:11 You see by Crisostomo.

04:17 Malabnan to the open.

04:19 Batas.

04:19 It's been a while.

04:20 He wasn't a starter before the injuries happened to Ateneo.

04:26 But after what happened to Pacino, he's been starting and he's been scoring just like that.

04:33 Great consistent play from Ken Batas.

04:36 The speed is there.

04:38 12-13.

04:41 Nice serve.

04:43 Easy ball for Gian.

04:44 Times two.

04:44 Gamban giving it back.

04:47 Lagando.

04:49 Mangulabdan to counter with Ryan.

04:51 And yes, that goes to the back line.

04:53 Puede, actually.

04:56 That makes sense.

04:58 So there's logic to it.

04:59 It's not just flashiness for Eloy Sigamban.

05:01 Salarzon, Redwell by Rubin.

05:04 Here's Ken.

05:06 He's been unstoppable.

05:08 That's their rookie, by the way.

05:11 Sending it to Gian Salarzon.

05:14 Who will attack?

05:16 Blocked.

05:18 Remember, UP has only won two sets so far in UAP Season 86.

05:23 Both against UE.

05:24 Pacino.

05:26 What a dig by Loiza.

05:28 Santiago sending it through.

05:30 Ateneo back to Amil.

05:33 UP got a touch.

05:35 Gamban with the clear out.

05:37 Malabanan.

05:39 Met at the net.

05:40 Back row for Loiza.

05:41 Off speed.

05:41 Nice save by Crisostomo.

05:44 And here's Ken.

05:45 Wow, what a rally.

05:47 Lagando, down the line target.

05:51 Ateneo keeps it up.

05:53 The rally continues.

05:55 Chance ball for the Maroons.

05:56 They go to the middle.

05:57 That's Batas who puts it up.

06:01 And it's Pacino.

06:02 Cyrus, nope.

06:05 Good read at the net.

06:06 Malabanan.

06:08 The rally is still ongoing.

06:10 Pacino is blocked.

06:12 And yes, what a point for University of the Philippines.

06:17 Let's take a look at that block.

06:22 And you know, we have to give credit to UP's team.

06:26 Team captain, Daniel Nicolás.

06:29 It's Batas.

06:34 Rejected.

06:35 He's been saying that he hasn't been checked.

06:39 As compared to set number one.

06:41 Now, I have to ask you this.

06:45 Are you feeling the absence of Lance de Castro?

06:47 Oh, definitely.

06:48 Especially at the start.

06:50 Who did a splendid job serving in set number one.

06:54 Here's Loiza.

06:57 Against two blockers.

06:58 Ball returned.

06:59 Huntilla puts it up.

07:00 Back set to Jelay.

07:01 Nice dig by Crisostomo.

07:03 Malabanan to Salarzon.

07:06 Beautiful read.

07:08 Ball up by Loiza.

07:15 Santiago opens.

07:16 Tough dig by Mangulabnan.

07:20 And here's Jelay.

07:21 Salarzon getting back to his set one form.

07:25 12-4.

07:28 Gian has some fans here in the Renata Coliseum.

07:32 That's a nice block by Cyrus de Guzman.

07:34 Ball straight to net.

07:39 Gian puts it up.

07:40 And here's Amil.

07:41 One blocker in front of him.

07:42 That was too easy.

07:43 Pacino.

07:47 You know, I feel bad for the net.

07:50 We shall continue.

07:54 Samaniego to Gamban.

07:56 Block.

07:57 In or out.

07:57 Apparently it's in.

07:58 Oh, that was inside.

08:00 It touched or nicked the line.

08:01 Ten points.

08:03 Five attacks.

08:03 Three blocks.

08:04 Two aces for Amil Pacino.

08:06 Samaniego back sets.

08:08 Lagando with a cross.

08:13 19-10.

08:14 Batas.

08:15 Received by Loiza.

08:18 Attack to the middle.

08:19 Read perfectly by Gian.

08:21 And now it's a 10-point advantage for Ateneo.

08:26 Salarzon.

08:27 Santiago will choose Malabanan.

08:30 Ball put up.

08:32 Gutierrez back sets.

08:34 Sendon sent back.

08:36 Oh, that makes it to the line.

08:39 13 serving 22.

08:43 UP praying for a miracle here in set number three.

08:46 De Guzman attacking in the middle.

08:47 Dug up easily.

08:49 And the counter comes from Loiza.

08:50 That hits him.

08:51 Did say nice one after it.

08:55 Ascent point saved.

08:58 Pacino off of Lagando.

09:02 And that's it.

09:02 This was the score actually in set number one.

09:06 I talked about the attack efficiency of UP in set number two.

09:10 Now let's go Ateneo's way.

09:12 As Takulan scores with a smile from the middle.

09:16 There's JV playing with a shoulder injury.

09:18 Mangulabnan back sets to Ken.

09:22 Oh, no coverage.

09:24 A miscue for Ateneo.

09:25 Three serving two.

09:27 Takulan.

09:29 That's in.

09:30 Santiago to Rubin.

09:32 Blocked by De Guzman.

09:33 And here's Loiza.

09:35 Wow.

09:36 Great creativity right there.

09:39 But that's better attacking from Jeyan Salarzon.

09:42 Ken serves.

09:47 Montilla receives.

09:50 Back set to Jely.

09:51 Five, six.

09:58 Good pass.

09:59 Mangulabnan with his first one two.

10:02 Doing that.

10:04 That's it.

10:04 You can take a look.

10:08 An example of what we were talking about when we say that Ateneo has been putting a lot of pressure at the service line.

10:14 You see that they just make it difficult for UP to give a good first ball.

10:18 I wonder who that guy is.

10:21 We shall continue.

10:23 Service in for UP.

10:25 Jeyan Salarzon.

10:26 Ball deflected.

10:27 Eusebio.

10:29 Back sets to Loiza.

10:31 There you go.

10:32 And the signature walk off by Loiza Gamban.

10:37 Gamban. 12 attack points.

10:39 Service in.

10:41 Pacino receives.

10:42 Takulan.

10:43 It's in.

10:44 Perfect pass.

10:48 Malabanan.

10:50 Cross court straight to zone number five.

10:53 Everything happened so fast.

10:57 It was a strong hit by Ken Batas after all.

10:59 Montilla puts it up.

11:01 Santiago to JV.

11:03 Cross court again.

11:04 Ball put up by Crisostomo.

11:06 The counter comes from Ryan.

11:07 Pancake save by Clarence.

11:09 Cross court.

11:11 Nope.

11:11 Battle at the net.

11:12 UP keeping it alive.

11:14 Back set to Jely.

11:15 Oh!

11:17 Ball to the line.

11:19 Good save by Mangulabnan.

11:21 And UP will choose the middle to finish it off.

11:23 I'm sure your whole day is free.

11:26 Yes.

11:27 I don't think you'll be able to do anything else today.

11:29 Back set to Jely.

11:32 Ball put up by Batas.

11:33 Ken will get it.

11:36 No coverage for Ateneo.

11:37 UP with another two-point advantage.

11:40 It looks like that he's currently in that zone right now.

11:45 Can he continue?

11:47 Nice block by UP.

11:48 And I am sure.

11:51 20-17.

11:53 Santiago.

11:54 It's in.

11:55 Takulan from the middle.

11:58 He's been a nice option for Ateneo.

12:01 The lead is just one.

12:04 Can Ateneo give us another deadlock?

12:07 Gamban with the receive.

12:09 Cross court.

12:11 Inside for Loisa Gamban.

12:14 Which UP is also not a stranger to.

12:17 Oh!

12:18 Hole in the middle for Ateneo.

12:23 The wing spiker.

12:24 They did not expect that it will still be given to the middle.

12:27 Four set points for UP.

12:30 Mangulabnan to Jian.

12:32 Blocked!

12:33 And the UP fighting maroons will send us to a set number five.

12:39 At 25 in their previous outing.

12:41 Mangulabnan setting it in.

12:45 UP finding its groove.

12:48 Not yet.

12:49 Nice block by Ateneo.

12:51 Loisa.

12:54 Inside.

12:56 Mangulabnan onto the quick.

12:58 How about Ryan Takulan?

12:59 His efficiency is through the roof.

13:02 Seven, two.

13:04 Ryan serves it in.

13:06 Received by Huntilia.

13:08 And JB Malabanan.

13:10 It's been quite a while.

13:12 He sends it in.

13:14 Jesse Rubin.

13:16 Received by Jian.

13:18 Jian to Kim.

13:20 Another cross court hit.

13:22 Service in for the rookie.

13:24 Almadro receives.

13:26 Salarza.

13:28 Blocked.

13:34 Good timing.

13:36 Jian again.

13:38 Three blockers.

13:40 No problem.

13:42 Takulan.

13:44 It's in.

13:46 Huntilia receives.

13:48 Combination.

13:50 Loisa.

13:52 No look.

13:54 Read well by Ken.

13:56 [Crowd cheering]

13:58 Then, you know it could easily translate to tying up this match.

14:06 Bit of a scramble for Ateneo.

14:08 They send it to Emil.

14:10 Wow, what a hit by Emil Pacino.

14:12 There are instances that their blocks are too loose.

14:16 You really have to make sure that it's really tight.

14:18 Especially if you have attackers like that of Ateneo.

14:22 Waka Sostomo with that good dig.

14:24 Oh, a good recovery though by Jesse Rubin.

14:26 We were just talking about the blocking of UP.

14:30 Now for UP.

14:32 Jesse.

14:34 Received by Pacino.

14:36 Jian to Jian.

14:38 Cross court and that's it.

14:40 Nope.

14:42 That was close.

14:44 Ateneo with a chance.

14:46 Sino ka ba?

14:48 The top scorer in this game with a final stare down.

14:52 Kennedy Batas finishes with 13 points.
