Transcript

00:00 You can see that we have a lot of all ages, you know, the crowd that we see right now.

00:05 So even kids and grandparents are all here.

00:09 Enjoying that first point, having played two sets.

00:13 Well, there is a top scorer of Chocomucho in the whole conference,

00:18 Cici Rondina, number two in the league with 154 coming into this matchup.

00:23 That's dug up by Cici.

00:25 Issa Molde taking it over and she scores.

00:29 With Harvey Casada. So congratulations, Chomsy.

00:32 We know Migs and Ivy, we know that these days, it's all about low-key.

00:36 And even Chomsy wanted this to be low-key, but she gave me the green signal.

00:40 A very comfortable lead.

00:42 Three serving four, sharp serve, Bonsai with the receive.

00:45 And here's Issa Molde sending that ball through.

00:48 And again, it's chaos on the other end for SGA.

00:51 That's the beauty of it, you know, when you get that set that you like.

00:56 Oh, nice serve, Issa Molde with an ace.

00:59 What a start for her.

01:01 And you know, speaking of progress, speaking of establishing cultures,

01:06 even coach Jesse Lopez told me that it took six months for Chocomucho

01:10 to actually get acclimated into this system and this culture of coach Dante Elinsonurin.

01:16 And now, they're one of the best in the league as Cici Rondina continues to score.

01:21 In terms of hype.

01:24 Not the best of receives.

01:26 Romero gives it up to Dolly, who sends it through.

01:29 Bonsai digs it up.

01:30 Alba, Cici again.

01:32 That's too easy.

01:35 That was like a beach volleyball throwback for us.

01:38 Service inside.

01:40 Bonsai receives, Alba, back to the left.

01:43 Dubino couldn't score.

01:45 Up to the sky.

01:46 Now it's Verzosa, cross court.

01:48 Nice dig by Thang.

01:50 Rondina again.

01:51 Espinosa couldn't dig it up perfectly.

01:57 Now there's that short serve by Cici.

01:59 Scramble forced.

02:01 Chance ball combination.

02:03 Royce to Dubino.

02:09 15 serving 8.

02:11 One away from the second technical timeout.

02:14 And it is a service ace for Cheri Nunag, 16 to 8.

02:19 She's done this before.

02:21 Served as a magic bunot for coach Onyok.

02:24 Tip by Issa.

02:26 Again, we haven't seen much power from her so far.

02:29 But that's all that she needs.

02:31 Maddy Madayag, blocked.

02:34 Let's take a look.

02:38 As it was.

02:40 Suras land with a block.

02:42 So it's an attack point and a block point so far for Sue.

02:45 Sharp serve.

02:46 And here's Issa Molde.

02:48 Blocked again.

02:49 Wow.

02:50 The net defense is now getting better and better for HGA.

02:53 Before this game told me that she has a personal goal of trying to block Cici Rondina.

02:58 So now she has one up on Issa Molde.

03:02 Issa Molde.

03:03 Five points so far to lead the way for Choco Mucho.

03:07 Raslan going cross.

03:09 Dug up by Issa.

03:10 That's a chase by Thang.

03:12 And here's Dubino giving up a free ball.

03:15 But, again, onto the slide.

03:18 It almost worked.

03:19 Back row for Royce.

03:21 Off the block.

03:27 Onofre serves.

03:29 With the help of the net, it's almost an ace.

03:31 Rondina.

03:32 It's just a free ball.

03:33 You know it.

03:39 That's after starting in set number two and coming off the bench in set three.

03:43 Attack from the middle.

03:45 Nice block.

03:46 One more time.

03:47 Verzosa.

03:49 Now a good chance to counter.

03:51 Nunag setting it to the back.

03:53 Rebleza to Verzosa.

03:55 Yes.

03:56 A hole at the back row.

03:59 Let's take a look at that attack from Verzosa.

04:02 Flying in.

04:04 Targeting that cross court.

04:08 Let's see if they can pull off a miracle.

04:10 Rondina receives.

04:13 Great timing at the net.

04:15 Hakulan couldn't get it through.

04:17 Verzosa.

04:18 Yes.

04:22 The fight is there.

04:24 And you can see a bit of a shift in their body language.

04:27 Alba on the one-two.

04:28 Read perfectly by Jess.

04:30 Verzosa once more.

04:32 Dug up by Dubino.

04:33 Molde.

04:34 Back to Sisi.

04:35 And that drops.

04:41 24 serving 16.

04:44 Verzosa.

04:45 Wow.

04:46 Good angle by Verzosa.

04:50 Maximize this part of their rotation.

04:52 They're down by seven.

04:54 Alba.

04:55 Sisi.

04:56 Blocked.

04:57 Coverage was there.

04:58 Ponce on to Royce.

05:00 Got a hand.

05:01 And that's it for set number one.

05:04 And that's it for set number two.

05:07 Service inside for her.

05:09 That's her former teammate, Meagan Mendres, who now attacks

05:12 against two blockers.

05:14 Almost a point.

05:15 Counter by Sue.

05:16 Ball up by Dina.

05:18 That was actually by a teammate.

05:20 Now here's a chance for SGA.

05:23 Raslan.

05:24 Got a hand.

05:25 Counter.

05:26 Meagan Mendres.

05:28 Ball.

05:29 Still saved.

05:30 Nice rally.

05:33 And she takes this.

05:34 A miscue for Chocomucho.

05:36 Hitting that ball.

05:37 We may not be able to see that here in the replay.

05:41 There's the glance.

05:43 There was a bit of movement.

05:45 Five all.

05:46 She has six points to her name.

05:49 Ball up by Melanie Romero.

05:51 And here's Raslan going cross.

05:53 Dug up by Thang.

05:55 Dina.

05:56 Back row for Sisi.

05:57 Oh, my goodness.

05:58 Joy Onofre.

06:00 And just a blizzard before this game.

06:03 What makes Sisi so hard to stop?

06:05 And they said oh, so many things about her.

06:08 As Mike Ortiz scores for Chocomucho.

06:11 But back to Sisi Rondina.

06:13 Six serving seven.

06:14 Joy Onofre.

06:15 Two points to her name.

06:16 Sharp serve.

06:18 The push to Meagan.

06:20 Ball up by Onofre.

06:22 Raslan.

06:23 Off speed.

06:24 Good save.

06:25 Back row.

06:26 Sisi explodes and scores again.

06:29 Versus strong group.

06:31 Andres with the serve inside.

06:33 Back set to the opposite.

06:35 Nice dig by Royce.

06:36 And here's Sisi again.

06:38 [CHEERING]

06:41 Santa Maria sends it through.

06:44 Chance ball.

06:45 They go to Sisi.

06:46 Pushing that ball through.

06:47 And again, there's a hole.

06:49 [CHEERING]

06:51 All those open areas.

06:54 Not the best of receives.

06:56 Rizosa challenged that net.

06:58 Dina Wong.

06:59 Sisi again.

07:00 Coverage a bit late.

07:03 And look at the celebration on the side of SGA with that block.

07:07 That's a good sign.

07:09 And this is actually one of the things that can help SGA.

07:13 And that's the defense at the net.

07:15 Oops.

07:16 Even Coach Dante was laughing for a bit, which is not the usual sight.

07:19 But you take it if you're Chocomucho.

07:23 Tobino again.

07:24 Now that goes through.

07:25 [CHEERING]

07:28 Assistant coach for Strong Group Athletics.

07:32 Oh, a misreceive.

07:33 That's an ace for Sisi Rondina.

07:35 [CHEERING]

07:39 They did mention they still have a nice cushion.

07:42 Short serve.

07:43 Tough save there for Thong Phon Sen.

07:45 And the ball won't go over anymore.

07:48 Scoring the point off of those tips.

07:52 18 to 12 now.

07:53 Chunks back sets.

07:56 There's the coverage.

07:58 This time they go to Raslan.

07:59 Straight to Sisi.

08:01 Wong.

08:02 Open.

08:03 Me-an.

08:04 Yes, ma'am.

08:05 [CHEERING]

08:08 She was a leading scorer of UE back in her day.

08:11 After all, she still is going through some minor injuries.

08:15 As now we just got to see four touches on the side of SGA.

08:19 We have a timeout.

08:20 Sherry Nunag.

08:23 Service in.

08:25 Kaole.

08:26 On to Raslan.

08:27 Nice hit.

08:29 Oh, not the best of second balls.

08:32 A chance for SGA.

08:35 They go back to Su.

08:36 Down the line target.

08:37 And that makes it to the line.

08:42 22-15 now.

08:43 Me-an Mendrez.

08:45 Ball up by Dolly.

08:47 Back set.

08:48 Su.

08:49 Locked.

08:50 And Sisi made it look so easy.

08:53 Dina in this game.

08:57 Attack from the middle.

08:58 That didn't work.

09:00 Me-an sending it through.

09:03 Raslan against two blockers.

09:05 Good recognition by Dina.

09:07 And that's Sisi Rondina who couldn't score.

09:10 Ponce still there.

09:13 Oh, Rebleza putting it up.

09:15 And here's Dolly from the back.

09:18 Sisi Rondina.

09:19 Cross score.

09:22 Great sportsmanship.

09:24 For a proper approach.

09:26 You have to expect a strong hit.

09:28 A literal cherry bomb.

09:30 24-15.

09:31 Nine set points.

09:32 Dina.

09:34 Almost scored.

09:35 Chance ball.

09:37 This time they go to the slide.

09:39 And there's the finisher.

09:40 My God.

09:44 But they are enjoying.

09:46 And that's what's important.

09:48 There you go.

09:50 Tubino sends it to the back.

09:51 Ka-ole.

09:52 Back set.

09:53 Shika is back.

09:54 Good to see her.

09:56 And now it's Sisi Rondina against two blockers.

10:00 She prevails.

10:03 The defenders or the blockers on the side of SGA will not be able to keep the ball alive.

10:08 So, pumapasok yung bola sa loob.

10:10 So that means there's this distance from the blocker and the net.

10:15 But Tubino has eight points.

10:18 As her number one supporter in terms of attacking.

10:22 Regina Rocha.

10:23 First appearance.

10:24 First attack.

10:25 First point.

10:29 Rizosa with the receive.

10:30 And here's Espinoza.

10:32 Cross court.

10:33 No kill.

10:35 Counter.

10:36 Tubino.

10:37 Two blockers.

10:38 No problem.

10:42 Absolutely no stress at all for him in this game so far.

10:47 Two serving six.

10:48 Rocha receives.

10:49 Not the best there.

10:52 Espinoza with the dig.

10:53 Ka-ole.

10:54 To her long time teammate.

10:56 And that's off of Regina.

11:00 Apparently.

11:05 Push by Micah.

11:06 Likauko setting it left.

11:08 Suraslan.

11:09 Nice hit.

11:10 That was a good down the line hit by Raslan.

11:17 Ball up and in.

11:18 Melanie receives.

11:20 Onofre.

11:22 Good defense there by Royce.

11:23 Rocha sending it through.

11:25 Ka-ole.

11:26 Back set.

11:27 Shika.

11:28 Cross court.

11:29 Pretty sharp.

11:30 It's out.

11:31 Have a good view of that.

11:32 He was nearer compared to the linesman.

11:35 Back set.

11:36 Slide.

11:37 Micah.

11:38 That was a good defense.

11:40 Number three for her.

11:43 Coach Onyok reminds her.

11:48 Hopefully in the third set they will be able to catch up a bit

11:52 more and be sharper in terms of reception.

11:55 It's what coach Onyok wants and he hopes he gets.

11:59 The support is brought to you by the Filipinos live app.

12:03 Back to you.

12:04 Ka-ole.

12:05 Back set.

12:08 There's a hole at the defense of Chocomucho.

12:12 Dina Wong had a smile.

12:14 She knows about that.

12:15 She does it herself.

12:17 There's the push on to Tubino.

12:19 No more save for Suraslan.

12:23 It looked pretty weird to me because she usually wears green.

12:29 Espinosa.

12:30 Back set to Chica.

12:35 That drops.

12:39 Haukulan sending that ball in.

12:42 Attack from the middle.

12:44 Good net defense by strong group.

12:47 They send it back to Espinosa.

12:49 Dina putting it up.

12:51 Dina back set.

12:52 Not much power.

12:54 Ka-ole to the open.

12:56 That's Dolly Verzosa.

12:58 Dug up by Sisi.

13:00 Regine.

13:01 Great approach.

13:03 Off the block.

13:06 Madi Madiag.

13:08 Melanie receives.

13:10 And this is a chance ball.

13:12 A lot of time.

13:13 They go to Regine.

13:15 Against the blockers.

13:16 She scores.

13:20 Talking about Regina Rocha.

13:23 19-11.

13:24 Received by Sue.

13:26 Combination.

13:28 Dolly Verzosa.

13:30 There's a chase but not enough.

13:32 By Regina Rocha.

13:35 Dolly has 12 points to lead the way for SGA.

13:38 As per usual.

13:40 Dina.

13:43 That set was not too hard for Dina Wong.

13:47 She was just right there in the middle.

13:50 After scoring all of her five in the opening set.

13:54 Not too happy with that dig.

13:59 Nikki Baldizzanzo.

14:04 Received by Bia.

14:06 Gem.

14:07 Combination.

14:08 Sisi.

14:09 Ball up by Dolly.

14:10 Chums on to Shika.

14:13 Nice dig.

14:15 Isamolde.

14:16 Yes.

14:21 By Cortez.

14:24 Kaole on to Susan Raslan.

14:27 That's a back row hit for Regina Rocha.

14:30 And the counter comes from Sue.

14:33 Two blockers and a miscue.

14:36 Raslan still keeps SGA here in the game.

14:42 Nice receive.

14:44 There's the set.

14:45 Push.

14:47 Dolly Verzosa.

14:48 Blocked.

14:49 And that's it.

14:51 Chocobucha winning in double figures once more.

14:54 25-15.
