00:00 But I did mention this earlier in the pregame, Chiki.

00:03 It's a mental game.

00:04 It's a psychological game.

00:06 And you have to rise above your emotions.

00:08 - As Cici Rondino, we're talking about how she should be

00:11 actually, and I did say this in the pregame,

00:14 if the Chocomucho Flying Titans want to win today,

00:18 Maddie Madajac needs to be utilized a bit more.

00:21 - Couple of miscues already from Dreamline

00:25 that they should be able to maximize.

00:28 Talking about Chocomucho, like at this point,

00:30 so that's two straight points.

00:32 - Chocomucho to earn their points,

00:34 and they can get started here after two points in a row now.

00:37 It's a chance for Dita Wong to create.

00:41 Cici is now in front.

00:42 What a pick up there by Ravilia,

00:44 but not good enough to keep the ball in play.

00:47 - To the left pin or the right pin.

00:49 I mean, when you constantly give the left or right pin,

00:53 you're not giving them freedom to attack.

00:57 - Good set, that's an open set,

00:59 and that's a good stop there.

01:02 Chocomucho will finally get a point.

01:05 Much needed side out for Chocomucho.

01:09 - Followed by a miss serve, you are unable to maintain

01:13 your own momentum if you have unforced errors.

01:16 - And Cici will score her first point in the second set.

01:21 - 11 now for Eliza Valdez.

01:26 Good first ball by Ponce, and Rondina stopped.

01:31 Let's see if she gets another chance.

01:32 Second chance is gold for Cici Rondina.

01:36 But we also wanna mention Gemma Galanza,

01:39 who scored that last point, is all around game.

01:42 She has had a lot of good saves.

01:44 Rondina stopped again there by Eliza.

01:47 Ball still good.

01:50 Gemma will go.

01:54 Chance here for Chocomucho to counter Cici.

01:56 - Inside, she is known for her running attacks,

02:00 so that will definitely be utilized.

02:04 - One point lead for Cream Line and Cici Rondina.

02:12 - Not a clean attack, just tooling that hand,

02:15 touching that hand rather, of Kyle Negrito.

02:18 - Running attack for Ponce, Ponce was there.

02:22 Rondina will go, and the pickup.

02:25 Just solidly kicked in here,

02:28 as it does every time for Cream Line.

02:31 No first ball from Chocomucho.

02:33 - Surmised her before she heads to the back row.

02:39 Oh, service ace for Cici.

02:42 As her first ace, and she is now on top of the scoring here.

02:48 - Are watching out for, and we are getting treated

02:50 by a lot of great volleyball here, Jamie.

02:53 - And the Chocomucho Flying Titans have now another chance

02:58 of extending this match.

02:59 It was crunch time for them in that previous set,

03:02 but that girl, Cici Rondina, is alive when in--

03:07 - Looking for that, that is really the target,

03:12 their first win against their sister team.

03:14 - Rondina!

03:19 And now we're seeing the cut shots

03:20 that we have come to expect from Cici.

03:23 - Joy after seeing that attack coming from Cici Rondina.

03:27 - Good set.

03:29 - Eliza is checked.

03:31 Back row attack, Rondina!

03:34 Did you see the hang time on that?

03:36 - A lot of the sets will be pushed out to that left pin,

03:39 because Kyle Negrito, her skill set is not blocking.

03:44 So you can see the strategy.

03:48 - Cici Rondina, I mean.

03:50 - That's a good serve, an over receive,

03:55 but look at Negrito.

03:57 - So aggressive again.

03:58 - Puts it in again, another one!

04:01 This time a joust won by Cici, humante!

04:05 Rondina will go again.

04:10 She's checked.

04:12 Gemma, way too far.

04:14 Ball still good.

04:16 Cici with the attack!

04:19 And this time,

04:20 Tyler Tiaza couldn't get there,

04:22 but we are going to see.

04:25 - But which place do you go to and when?

04:27 - They are the brain of the team.

04:29 They control the tempo.

04:31 And sometimes you just want to go to the one

04:35 that will hit it every time.

04:36 The transition, no time to think, it's all instinct.

04:40 - Cici from the left pin!

04:44 (crowd cheering)

04:47 Six deadlock.

04:50 Rondina leaps!

04:55 And the contact, perfect timing!
