00:21 (Commentator) "Reminding us about one of the starters being out, Jean Soreno."

00:25 "Teguzman with the approach, La Rosa saw that coming.

00:33 Gagate asking for it.

00:35 And Teguzman could not keep it in play.

00:38 Sorry, that's Tsunashima, couldn't keep it in play.

00:41 7th."

00:41 "Great transition play there, activation from the middle, Gagate."

00:50 "Good first ball there.

00:51 Double block.

00:55 16-7."

00:57 "Casey Cortez was the one who, Coach Surio, also used a lot in that game."

01:05 "Oh man, the blocking of De La Salle."

01:10 "You can have this drag and blocking, just reading all the offense."

01:17 "Throughout the years, they really try to close down the leading scorer,

01:21 the leader of their opponent.

01:23 And right now, they are closing Leande Teguzman in that second attempt."

01:28 "And Coronel and Gagate on this left pin here.

01:31 Look at that, almost not moving anymore.

01:34 And then obviously, as you know, Ariel."

01:36 "EP collegiate volleyball, that's really foundational years for these players."

01:43 "Great point."

01:46 "Coverage by Malaluan this time.

01:49 Lapu trying to identify that hole.

01:53 Malaluan goes cross, Doromal was there waiting.

01:59 Doromal again, taking it straight in the chest.

02:05 But Ateneo unable to keep it up."

02:07 "From Doromal, right on the same spot.

02:11 It's just that it was too strong for her to contain and then the difficulty..."

02:15 "Misjudged it."

02:17 "That's true."

02:18 "Running attack, easy dump by Thea Gagate.

02:24 21-8 lead in the first."

02:27 "That's also because they have a good passing, you see..."

02:30 "They did get the point anyway.

02:31 And the second referee didn't allow it anymore.

02:35 Off the rebound, good reaction there.

02:39 Left-hand dig by De Guzman, but again..."

02:42 "Whoever is going to be on the top seed..."

02:45 "Kumbaga, you're going to need that twice to be an advantage.

02:47 Whoever is the number one."

02:50 "Gagate is on a mission today.

02:52 Nine points."

02:53 "The task for LaSalle is to set up Gagate, and it has been working for them."

02:58 "In previous matches, from going to the middles,

03:01 they've been so Shyvana Lapu."

03:04 "That's true, wing attackers."

03:07 "But if they want the USP, they want everyone to be involved in attacking."

03:14 "With the protocols, with the digging, and all of that.

03:17 So we probably are nearing that, the time when she will come back,

03:22 and we will not be surprised if we see her next Sunday."

03:25 "That is near go time."

03:29 "Malapit na.

03:30 Again, important game coming for them."

03:34 "Wala ka namang plano sa linggo."

03:38 "Everyone's gonna pause their life, and sit down, and watch volleyball on that day."

03:45 "Again, Gagate has been..."

03:51 "Gagate asking for it.

03:57 Oh, good.

03:58 Good reaction by Pacia there to keep it up."

04:01 "This is a better spark for Ateneo, as we take a look at the Gagate spike again."

04:07 "Esperos goes to De Leon.

04:12 And Gagate identifies the open spot.

04:17 Drops it.

04:18 Point already, partner."

04:19 "Simple attack, but an effective one for Gagate, as he mentioned."

04:24 "16."

04:29 "Esperos rolls it to the other side.

04:32 Smart, but Turinel with the reaction here.

04:34 Chance again to attack.

04:35 Esperos looks at the defense.

04:37 Oh!

04:40 This one moves out."

04:43 "And a floppy formation.

04:44 Close down Esperos."
