Transcript

00:00 And you have up their sleeve, of course, they won the first time that they met and they won it in four sets.

00:07 Problematic already at the start of the first set.

00:10 You don't want to see off balls like that.

00:14 And a service ace for Lasal!

00:17 That was a good floater from Del Vilar.

00:20 And that's tricky, you know, if the serve is a floater and suddenly drops.

00:26 And they've tallied a total of unofficially four attack points.

00:30 And two aces after that ace coming from J.M.

00:35 Roquillo.

00:36 The hard serves received there by Almendra's quick hit by Peng.

00:42 That's in, that's going to be an NU point.

00:45 Turns down the lead to four.

00:48 Let's look at that again.

00:50 There's the lead for the green shirts.

00:56 Almendra's there for the pickup.

00:58 They go for a quick.

00:59 And a bawe from Taguibulos.

01:01 A single block.

01:03 Look at that.

01:05 How would you describe that?

01:08 The center was in.

01:10 And you're playing catch up.

01:11 The attainable goal that Coach Dante said was, "Bago mag 20, humabul tayo."

01:17 But now, Del Vilar helps Lasal pull away.

01:23 Look at that.

01:25 Be quick.

01:26 Right in between the blockers.

01:29 On the net and on the court.

01:32 As Lasal's playing catch up here.

01:35 NU's playing catch up here rather.

01:37 They're down by seven against Lasal.

01:39 Maglinao gets that through, making an eight point lead.

01:42 Eight set points for the Alesios Del Vilar serves to Manguir.

01:47 And that, well, oh!

01:49 What an adjustment for Taguibulos.

01:52 Why we're seeing it as a characteristic man is because in all scoring skills.

01:58 Serve coming from Peng.

02:01 Menard was there.

02:02 They go up for Maglinao for the tip.

02:05 And that ends set number one in favor of DLSU.

02:10 The stiffness of hips coming from the most efficient player.

02:16 To lose everything for you to want to regain everything back.

02:20 Adahar goes up to Maglinao.

02:23 Red well there by Sumangui.

02:25 Biscuitado getting a check and finding the line.

02:30 Serve coming from Ayingo.

02:35 Adahar going up to Ronquillo.

02:38 And that's because of that.

02:40 It's a learning moment.

02:41 To create points on their own.

02:48 For DLSU.

02:51 Going for that jump float.

02:54 Straight to Sumangui.

02:55 Over-received.

02:56 Guyer was there for the pick up.

02:58 Adahar getting aggressive.

02:59 Almendaz will try to play catch up.

03:02 Free ball coming from Sumangui.

03:04 On the other side.

03:05 A short run coming from Anima.

03:09 Look at the celebration of the LaSalle fans here as Billy Anima goes.

03:15 You know, at least in the second set, LaSalle can catch up.

03:19 They're trying to really match that energy on the side of Ennio.

03:23 If not, even surpass it.

03:25 And that will be a question here in the second set.

03:28 Will LaSalle allow to be surpassed as LaSalle.

03:33 They're quite unpredictable.

03:36 When you see the variety of returns that they've done.

03:39 They've scored quite a number of points even in the first set.

03:42 Maintaining his composure on the sidelines.

03:47 We actually have two of the very chill coaches of the UAMAP here.

03:51 As we see, this combination play might just be the fire starter that Ennio needs.

04:03 1-3 as Ennio.

04:05 Serve coming from Almendaz.

04:08 Adahar will set this up.

04:10 Oh, solid block there coming from Aingo.

04:15 Maglinao serves for the green shirts.

04:17 Going for the jump float.

04:19 Straight to Budin.

04:22 Almendaz adjusts.

04:23 Buds through the blockers.

04:27 Oh, through the block to El Capitan.

04:33 Four-point lead for LaSalle.

04:34 Serve coming from Adahar.

04:37 Over-received.

04:39 Del Pilar's plan worked.

04:40 On the other side, Almendaz going up to get Tamar.

04:44 Denied by Cam for Taguibolo.

04:46 Single block by Del Pilar.

04:50 Giving Ennio a rather six-point lead.

04:53 You know, Ennio needs to get themselves together.

04:55 You see that from their body language, it is very different.

05:00 You know, I'll add something to that.

05:01 I got to talk to Menard here, the liber.

05:04 And I asked him, "What's your strategy?"

05:07 He said, "Nothing, we'll just play what we play."

05:09 It's 11 games already for Ennio, 10 games for LaSalle only.

05:13 So there's a lot of things in contention still as we see another point.

05:17 And a set point for DLSU.

05:22 For the win, is this combination play coming from J.M. Romquillo.

05:32 Before this set started, they were really trying to pump themselves up,

05:35 you know, on that side of the court.

05:38 And you're seeing just from that serve of Oretamar and that block,

05:42 this is starting to look like a different Ennio Bulbos today.

05:46 Maybe it's Coach Dante.

05:49 It's about time. Why is he playing after two sets?

05:53 While he's being corny.

05:56 That's why he's not listening to his players.

05:59 He really decides, "I'll call this."

06:02 That's in for Ennio.

06:07 Ayengonau to serve.

06:10 Captain is there for reception.

06:12 Captain from the pipe.

06:15 Shant, a bit.

06:17 Free ball coming from Sumanggi.

06:19 They go up to a combination play.

06:21 Vince Maglina.

06:23 That works for DLSU.

06:26 That was a good one.

06:32 Getting the blockers.

06:34 The plays are slow. It's because it's really been an exchange.

06:37 It's been a tug of war as to who's going to win it.

06:41 No one is pulling away. No one is letting go.

06:45 As Camton goes cross court, getting a check there.

06:48 Diao popping this one up.

06:50 Oh!

06:52 Set it up for Eko Adar.

06:55 Like a gift.

06:57 From one setter to another.

07:00 Owar, Etamar going for the stop.

07:02 But then there's Eko Adar going for the quick hit.

07:06 We're still on the side.

07:08 The ones who aren't playing.

07:11 They go up to Campton. Cross court.

07:13 Diao was there.

07:15 Almendras answering. Going down the line.

07:18 The hard to serve.

07:24 They're down by one.

07:26 14 excellent sets already in this ball game.

07:28 Picked up there by Almendras.

07:30 They go up to a back quick.

07:32 Redwell by Campton. On the other side.

07:34 They go to Almendras.

07:36 Cover just there.

07:38 But that is not going to stay alive.

07:41 Look at that.

07:46 Serve now.

07:52 Coming from Almendras.

07:54 They're up by one.

07:56 Adar going up to Ronquillo.

07:58 This is what you want to see if you're a LaSalle supporter.

08:04 Serve coming from Gloria.

08:06 Eugene Gloria with that serve.

08:08 Ayingo off the blockers.

08:10 Maglino keeps this alive.

08:12 They go up.

08:16 Ayingo.

08:18 What a block.

08:20 Wow.

08:22 And you know for NU, this isn't the position you want to be in.

08:26 They're really trying to protect.

08:28 You know, that twice to beat advantage.

08:30 And especially when you're very close to the semis.

08:34 One point game here between LaSalle and NU.

08:39 And that is going to get a check as per the officials.

08:46 Who's been a constant rotation for service.

08:50 And in the back line will serve as that ball.

08:56 Let's see if things will swing to their side as that serve comes from Belistino on LaSalle.

09:04 Ronquillo from the pipe.

09:08 Serving for the green shirts.

09:11 Picked up there by Budin.

09:13 They go up to Almendras who gets denied by Del Pilar and Ronquillo.

09:18 They now have match point advantage on the side of the green Spikers.

09:23 You thought it was over? They extended and extended.

09:26 As we get that serve coming from Taguibulos.

09:29 Maglino tying the ball game at 30.

09:34 Still on the third set.

09:36 First two sets won by DLSU JM Ronquillo with 16 points to serve the captain of the green Spikers.

09:43 Etamar one handed set going to Budin.

09:46 Off the hands of Guerreiro.

09:48 The gentleman on the floor that serve coming from Budin.

09:54 Anima with that hit.

09:56 Guerreiro with digging that one.

09:58 Campton from the pipe kept alive there by Almendras.

10:02 Budin to the blockers.

10:04 Guerreiro was there.

10:06 They go to Maglino.

10:08 Kept alive by Sumanguin.

10:09 Nagsasagutan ang Olivero dito.

10:11 Off the hands of the blockers was Budin.

10:13 Maglino off speed.

10:16 Oh!

10:18 Doing a bit of punting.

10:20 And punting distraction at the net.

10:23 As we see this serve coming from Maglino.

10:26 31 all.

10:27 He's been having aces earlier but this time that's picked up by Almendras.

10:32 And now Vanilla getting that point just when they need it.

10:37 Good area to target.

10:39 Also was not injected in this match against Ataneo.

10:43 Ronquillo will hit that ball out.

10:48 You know it wasn't like this when they started off this game.

10:52 Peng with 7 points already in this ball game.

10:54 Combination play for Lasal works.

10:57 Tied at 4.

10:59 Good serve for DLSU.

11:04 Picked up there by Almendras.

11:05 On the other side.

11:06 Quick hit!

11:07 Sordiao!

11:11 For NU, this is what Coach Dante was saying.

11:14 For Lasal, they've only scored 5 points.

11:18 Out of the 10-5 were giveaways from NU.

11:21 But Lasal continues to score.

11:27 We have some viewers here who are already waiting for the women's game.

11:31 But no guys, this is a very exciting men's match here.

11:35 NU to serve with Peng.

11:38 Campton was there.

11:40 They go up to Maglino who's been quite silent here.

11:44 Of course a lot of things happening now.

11:48 Thank you for catching us wherever you may be via the Philippines live app or the UAP varsity channel.

11:53 Or may that be on OneSports.

11:55 As you see, that hit is coming from Gianna Abanilla.

12:00 Squad from TAF, the serve now coming from Anima.

12:05 Picked up there by Samunggi.

12:06 On the other side, they go up to Almendras with a combination play that works for Nico.

12:13 Leads at the heart to serve.

12:15 Picked up there by Almendras.

12:18 They go up to Nico.

12:19 Nico tipping it over and converting for NU.

12:23 Seems like most of these returns, the drop, the ones that don't get hit.

12:28 From NU.

12:31 Picked up there by Guerre.

12:32 On the other side.

12:34 They go up to Ronquillo.

12:36 Owa going up to Almendras.

12:39 Tight angle.

12:40 Great coverage from DLSU.

12:42 Sumanggi was there for the pick up.

12:44 They go to Nico.

12:45 Almendras!

12:50 Going for the jump float.

12:52 Picked up there by Almendras.

12:53 They go for a back wick.

12:54 Go peng!

12:55 Taguibulos!

12:57 What a play!

12:59 The green shirts.

13:02 Pick up there by Almendras.

13:03 One handed set to Diao.

13:06 He's been very efficient there at the middle.

13:09 All involved.

13:11 And that is just a testament to the 16 attack points that they've tallied just in the set alone.

13:16 Anima trying for an angle there.

13:19 Oh!

13:22 We talked about outsmarting the opponent.

13:25 And oh, what a production for Vince.

13:28 Today he already outproduces himself back in the first round against NU.

13:33 Budin!

13:34 Bounce ball!

13:37 That's the return.

13:39 We've seen it in the third set.

13:41 How far will you go?

13:43 That's what they said.

13:45 Almendras!

13:46 Off the blockers!

13:49 And the volleyball team.

13:52 They're just shy.

13:54 While waiting for their game.

13:57 Captain!

13:58 The Miscarte as instructed by Coach Joe.

14:02 Much needed point.

14:04 But they would be needing more than mere firepower.

14:07 They have to outsmart Lasal here as Oa goes quick to peng.

14:11 Peng on the second try.

14:13 Denied there by Del Pilar.

14:16 Almendras going for an 11 point but that is blocked by Lasal.

14:19 Maybe we're reaching for 40 this time.

14:23 They go up to Avanilia.

14:25 Avanilia cross court.

14:27 Guer was there.

14:28 Then he went on and blocked Maglina.

14:32 Oh!

14:35 And that's it!

14:38 But Coach Dante!

14:40 Two feet.

14:43 He stepped on the line.

14:45 But the heel.

14:46 Waiting for the official call.

14:49 Yes.

14:50 There is no center line call.
