One Sports

National University maintains its strong second round as the Lady Bulldogs sweep the University of the East.

Transcript

00:00 The first round it was a straight set win by NU.

00:04 13-25, 19-25 and 16-25.

00:08 We talked about it a while ago, they had that weak break.

00:11 So we're expecting a lot from these two squads.

00:13 Definitely different.

00:14 And the challenge continues as well here for the UE Lady Warriors.

00:18 NU up by one point, here comes Cassie.

00:21 Lamina will settle over to Alinsug.

00:24 Dug up by Sepada, Donggalio again.

00:27 They're gonna chase it.

00:30 Alinsug with a drop.

00:32 Ball is still alive, Balinget will try.

00:35 Lamina to Maaya.

00:38 Donggalio again.

00:41 And she gets a point for UE as we turn it over to Alyssa.

00:45 Go ahead Alyssa.

00:46 The East Riza being only the middle blocker retained from last year,

00:49 really took this as an opportunity to step up more.

00:52 She added training with the National Women's Volleyball Team last year

00:55 has particularly helped her.

01:07 Thank you so much for that Alyssa.

01:09 And spoken like a true warrior.

01:11 You're really stronger.

01:12 You're a really good fighter.

01:14 Redemption and championship glory.

01:22 and experience UE.

01:23 Well, for a fact, Pauline also was the captain for NU the previous season.

01:27 Yeah.

01:28 And my current teammate now in the pros.

01:31 It's so nice that the players are coming in to support the old school

01:37 that they represent.

01:39 And look nice.

01:40 Support as well definitely as you take a look at Alyssa Solomon

01:45 with the hammer here for the NU Lady Bulldogs.

01:48 That will be a violation called on Vanjie Alinsug if I'm not mistaken.

01:52 It's now a three-point lead.

01:54 Lamina will go to Pangilinan as we send it to our first technical timeout.

02:02 NU with the lead 8-4.

02:03 If they have the free ball.

02:04 Absolutely.

02:05 They need also that sense of urgency, especially against a team like NU.

02:09 Well, so far they're down by two here in our game.

02:12 Nogales and that is inside.

02:15 This is the freestyle.

02:18 Some adjustments that we're seeing here for UE as Bella Belen hammers one.

02:25 One of the most versatile players we have in the league right now.

02:29 And this spike of the set is brought to you by Duncan Pasalubong Nang Bayan.

02:36 Which will give UE some breathing room here to play catch up in our first set.

02:42 Lamina passes to Bella, changes tempo.

02:46 Those hard balls, it was perfect just to switch it off.

02:50 They were expecting also an attack or a strong lead.

02:56 That says a lot about her volleyball IQ as well.

03:01 Four excellent sets for Camila Lamina.

03:04 And a quick one from Belen, knowing exactly what to do.

03:08 It really is a float serve.

03:10 She's not turning.

03:12 And she has mastered that as well.

03:14 Here comes Balinget, denied.

03:16 Great blocking so far for NU.

03:18 Longayo from the back.

03:20 Gotta give credit also to the careless mistakes that can't be afforded.

03:28 Again, they need that sense of urgency, especially against NU.

03:33 And a great point coming off a time out here.

03:36 The way that she has progressed in such a short amount of time from her rookie year is really amazing.

03:43 At the level of play that she has now.

03:46 The blockers, the setting actually able to deceive the blocking of NU.

03:52 Lunatzepada would only have one blocker.

03:55 Solomon.

03:59 Out of system here.

04:03 Chance for NU.

04:04 Lamina to Bella.

04:06 Finds the open space, that open spot.

04:11 They're able to execute.

04:13 No one was there for her, so she's just spiking.

04:18 We'll see how this one goes.

04:22 Belen.

04:26 And that is it.

04:28 Belen goes cross court.

04:30 From the Lady Warriors.

04:31 Let's take a look at this last play.

04:34 Bella Belen going for the cross court.

04:38 Big margin in the air that you can go through.

04:41 You can go through her forearms, you know, through the fingers.

04:44 Just what Vanjie Alinsug was doing, right?

04:46 Right.

04:47 So they need to be more aggressive.

04:48 Talking about this UE team.

04:50 That's the first point, Vanjie Alinsug.

04:54 Great play from Camila Lamina.

04:59 Yeah, and the aggressiveness.

05:01 Sometimes the ball will really land.

05:03 If you're the opponent.

05:05 Or sometimes you're in front, but the ball will suddenly turn.

05:08 That's Lamina's set.

05:33 They'll deliver.

05:34 They're really ready.

05:35 At any given moment.

05:37 Anyone from the NU team can shine.

05:39 As we turn it over to Jules Israel of NU Captain.

05:44 And she will serve.

05:45 They're gonna chase it.

05:47 Donggalio.

05:49 They set up Bella.

05:52 And she was born to play volleyball.

05:57 Like I said, Bella is not the tallest player on the court.

06:02 But she plays with the way she puts in the work.

06:05 And that set didn't come from Lamina.

06:07 Because Lamina was the one who dug the ball up.

06:09 It came from Turing.

06:11 But they had the ball being surrounded already.

06:15 By a couple of NU Lady Bulldogs.

06:17 Hesitation on the part of five Lady Bulldogs.

06:21 Will cost them and will give them points.

06:23 Smart play from the Lady Warriors.

06:27 Lamina will go to Alinsug.

06:30 Flying from the back.

06:31 Madriaga to Donggalio.

06:33 Lambs will go to Bella.

06:37 Donggalio.

06:40 Lambs.

06:42 And Turing is blocked.

06:44 Still ongoing here.

06:45 Cepada.

06:47 Ends that rally.

06:49 And slowly you can see that the NU team is waking up.

06:55 That's exactly on signal.

06:59 You're still watching us here on Pilipinas Live.

07:01 Billy Capistrano with Pauline Gaston.

07:03 It's NU versus UE.

07:05 As Harjo will pass this one to Solomon.

07:09 And this time finally hitting the mark in the corner.

07:13 Gusto sana ng i-execute in that previous play.

07:17 Going to the right side of Nogales.

07:23 That is her fifth point of the game.

07:27 Three-point lead for NU.

07:29 Madriaga.

07:30 Alinsug.

07:35 Ball is still alive.

07:37 Solomon will try again.

07:42 And this time she's also successful.

07:44 Back-to-back hoists for Alisa.

07:46 One step forward, two steps back.

07:53 And that has been the story here for UE.

07:56 That's a good serve from Bella.

07:58 But it is still alive.

08:00 Play continues.

08:01 Harjo to Lam.

08:03 Silver to Solomon.

08:04 But you know, Riza was there.

08:09 There's too much power on that.

08:11 And Riza, two of the tallest players that we have right now on the court.

08:15 As Madriaga to Nogales.

08:19 That was a pretty scrappy play.

08:24 Easy ball, over the line.

08:26 Great read of the other side as well.

08:31 To set.

08:33 In view of Lam's lamina.

08:37 Pono has been doing a good job as well, taking on the setting duties.

08:41 Whenever Lam's is on the bench.

08:43 Belen!

08:44 That was a good dig from UE.

08:47 That definitely was a super spike.

08:54 And Madriaga just put it up.

08:55 Please, Kasi, kill it.

08:57 And she did deliver.

08:58 A lot of trust as well that we saw in that last play.

09:01 We have the team captain, continues to serve.

09:05 Madriaga with a smart play.

09:09 And she has been doing that a lot in the past couple of games.

09:13 Whether they play volleyball or maybe other sports.

09:17 Nogales, challenging the blockers.

09:23 Botched play for NU.

09:25 Chance here for UE.

09:27 Madriaga to Castillo is denied.

09:33 Well, when you have Turing and Solobon.

09:39 Six point push for NU.

09:42 So far so good for the White Shirts as Madriaga will go to Castillo.

09:47 Denura with a dig.

09:51 They're going to set it back to Kasi.

09:53 Panique for the back row.

09:58 Panique able to deliver here.

10:05 Pono doing a good job as well.

10:08 Taking on the setting duties as we said from Lam's Lamina.

10:12 Giving Lam's a breather to catch her breath.

10:16 That's going to be the first putt for NU at set point.

10:21 Pono serving.

10:23 Madriaga.

10:25 That's going to be it for our second set.

10:29 Lam's Lamina on deck to serve.

10:32 Baling it will try as Madriaga finds Don Gallo.

10:38 Chami Maaya, she turned her back around for a split second.

10:45 Things happen so fast here.

10:47 Well, it should be. I mean for UE, it is the third set.

10:51 So they really need to pick it up.

10:54 But what about Maaya with a quick...

10:57 We're tied at one.

11:01 And Alinsug will go for the drop as we send it over to Alison Ko.

11:07 Go ahead, Alison.

11:09 Echoing her words and their recent huddle, let's get back to it.

11:11 The game is not over yet.

11:23 Back to you, Paulina and Billy.

11:25 Thank you for that, Alison.

11:27 And that's exactly what you want to hear from these young players.

11:31 It's the growth mindset, Billy, when you're talking about how you recover

11:36 and actually use the losses as motivations to extend the winning streak.

11:40 Especially after that big, big win against UST.

11:44 Lamina one-hand set tries to make do.

11:46 That was Vanjie Alinsug.

11:48 Madreaga to Tonggalio.

11:50 Solomon powers through as we send it over to Jules Israel of NU.

11:59 ...who hope to swiftly finish the match today in their favor.

12:15 Now back to the panel.

12:16 At the bottom half of the standings.

12:19 Yeah, and it seems as if they are not playing complacently.

12:22 They seem hungry.

12:24 That's right. Which is exactly what we want to see from them.

12:27 Alinsug was waiting for it. She knew exactly what she wanted to do.

12:32 Vanjie Alinsug is amazing.

12:35 Again, she's only just a sophomore here in the UAAP.

12:40 Lots of years of growing for her with NU.

12:42 That was her sixth point of the game.

12:45 Chance here for UE. Madreaga!

12:51 It's a lie!

12:54 A little too late for NU and Madreaga.

12:57 Really eyes the back of her head.

13:00 Which they haven't had in a while.

13:03 Madreaga to Castillo.

13:06 Good dig!

13:08 Solomon fires one!

13:12 In getting the lead and then a painful error.

13:17 Unforced error.

13:19 But Malignet will try to avenge the service error.

13:23 But we'll see how things go here.

13:28 That was an over-receive on the part of UE.

13:33 That's why she has to rely on the other teammates here to do their job.

13:38 Here comes Malignet.

13:39 Blocked.

13:41 Right now she has six in this match.

13:45 Castillo!

13:49 But that's going to be a point for...

13:53 And play continues.

13:56 Nogales with six attack points now.

13:58 Maaya!

14:00 Blocked by Tonggalio.

14:02 Solomon!

14:04 Finds a corner.

14:06 There it is.

14:07 She got it back.

14:09 To her advantage.

14:10 That is her twelfth point of the game.

14:13 Bella on the other hand.

14:14 Thirteen for her.

14:15 Maaya!

14:17 Another gift for Chami Maaya.

14:21 Placement from Castillo.

14:26 Lams!

14:28 They go for the push.

14:30 Castillo!

14:32 Back to UE.

14:34 And Lamina!

14:38 To Escanlar.

14:39 It's blocked.

14:41 They're going to keep trying.

14:44 And that is it!

14:46 And that's going to be...

14:48 That's going to be Myrtle Escanlar finishing the game for the NU Lady Bulldogs.
