Transcript

00:00 Only had six points so he will play a crucial role in today's game and as for the Golden Spikers

00:06 They did have four players in double digits

00:09 and that's the good distribution

00:11 early activation of the middles

00:13 the early activation of the middles

00:15 of Doxiang Bao and Kolinaris Henry

00:17 One of the things that we will look at for FU on how they trained that before this game

00:22 A lot of confidence given

00:24 being given the middles as we get back to this game. We're tied at 2-all

00:28 The ball is still alive

00:30 They're gonna send it over to Josh Abanez

00:32 Waiting in the wings

00:34 Unsuccessful

00:36 And a block this time

00:38 being served by USC

00:40 We can hear the drums

00:42 and we feel the atmosphere

00:44 definitely semifinals material

00:46 Coach Oji not looking too pleased with the way things are going now for USC

00:52 but they're only down by two

00:54 Ducks, back set to Iggy

00:56 No go

00:58 JJ is blocked

01:00 They keep it alive and they send it over

01:02 And Yambao

01:06 gets his first point of the ball game

01:08 Golden Spikers

01:10 in double digits in their previous matches

01:12 which is a good sign here for

01:14 for USC

01:16 Here comes Andre Delicana

01:18 by two markers here

01:22 in the first

01:24 Martinez

01:26 will go to Saavedra

01:28 flying from the back

01:30 Also in the house

01:40 Of course we know why she's here

01:42 Aside from supporting men's volleyball

01:44 there's an important game

01:46 that we'll be watching later

01:48 Great hustle here for USC

01:50 Too much sauce here on the side of FPU

01:52 Even their receive

01:54 Coach Edison Orculio

01:56 is saying that we should shoot

01:58 to the center

02:00 This one

02:02 Josh Igbanias

02:04 but to see it

02:06 over and over again live in person

02:08 is a totally different story

02:10 He was a guest

02:12 really tall

02:14 Chance here for FPU

02:16 It is 18 serving 21

02:18 Yambao

02:20 to Colenares

02:22 Up top and down low

02:24 Scoreboard reads

02:34 22-18

02:36 Lots of momentum on the side

02:38 of the Golden Spikers

02:40 as Yambao

02:48 Colenares with four points

02:50 in this match

02:52 She will serve as Cacao

02:54 will fight Nadera

02:56 De Vega

02:58 shoots it through

03:00 It's still alive

03:02 So USC again

03:04 much like in the first game

03:06 they had in the semifinals

03:08 Really did their homework

03:10 prior to this match

03:12 Here comes Nadera again

03:14 That is a block

03:16 Nadera

03:18 in the USC Golden Spikers

03:20 will take set

03:22 number one

03:24 Take a look at this, Neil

03:26 Still blocked from USC

03:34 Igbanias will serve

03:38 That's inside

03:40 A comment inside

03:42 Feeling a little bit

03:44 of pressure from USC

03:46 here in the early

03:48 goings on

03:50 Who else to execute

03:52 that?

03:54 Igbanias

03:56 Answers back

03:58 He will find a way over

04:00 and over again

04:02 Good about Josh Igbanias

04:04 that he doesn't yell

04:06 It's also hard to

04:08 I mean

04:10 to read the attacks

04:12 of a left-handed opposing hitter

04:14 Then they will let USC come back

04:16 and now they have the lead again

04:18 They just got to

04:20 channel that elimination round

04:22 They were the strongest

04:24 team

04:26 That is off the block

04:30 to be thwarted

04:32 by a service error

04:34 Ducks

04:36 will go to G-boy

04:38 Great defense from FEU

04:40 Is it alive?

04:42 And that's down

04:44 or out or on a roll

04:46 Top down for Gregg

04:48 Because he is

04:50 alive and kicking in this match

04:52 This is why

04:54 they are the top-seeded team

04:56 entering the semifinals

04:58 Iggy

05:00 or Mandal

05:08 Combination play

05:10 That is a point

05:12 for the Golden Spikers

05:14 Will serve for the Yellow Shirt

05:16 Seven points for him

05:18 Dricks

05:22 Not on Josh's watch

05:24 Josh after that block

05:28 Take a look at this

05:30 He just smiled

05:36 Vivega will serve

05:38 Origalo

05:42 Ibanez is denied

05:52 And FEU

05:54 in full force

05:56 Here in the second

05:58 They are really just enjoying

06:00 this match. They are pumped up. They are ready to go

06:04 Off the block

06:06 for USC

06:08 That was Jaira Delamonte

06:10 Fresh legs off the bench

06:12 What will USC do?

06:14 Josh Ibanez will come back

06:16 And that is it

06:18 for that second set

06:20 A comeback

06:22 for the FEU Tangarawas

06:24 Here in the second set

06:26 They kept their composure all the way

06:28 till the end. They had the right answers

06:30 to everything that USC

06:32 was putting out

06:34 They will take

06:36 a chance here for FEU

06:38 They are holding on to a two point advantage

06:40 Ducks

06:42 Will go to Iggy

06:44 Umandal

06:46 That was the right set

06:48 One point advantage

06:52 for the Tamarawas

06:54 Martinez

07:00 He's waiting

07:02 Ducks

07:04 Off the block

07:08 He joins the scoring party

07:10 for USC

07:12 Great volleyball that we are having here today

07:14 Eleven-all is our score

07:16 Yambao to Paul Colenares

07:18 He has been silent as well

07:20 But now we are seeing

07:22 Quick one

07:28 from Paul Colenares

07:30 You were on top of the attack line

07:34 But reaction time should also be present

07:36 You gotta be anticipating these things

07:40 as Iggy

07:42 Umandal gets it off the block

07:44 and he has been

07:46 efficient leading all the scorers

07:48 for the FEU Tamarawas will serve

07:50 And Gboy De Vega

07:56 makes it look so easy

07:58 Some adjustments here

08:00 from Coach Edison

08:02 We're tied 16-all

08:06 Saavedra popped up by Van

08:08 They got a Gboy

08:12 JJ goes across

08:16 What a dig by Van

08:18 for the shot of the veteran

08:20 That is gonna go

08:22 to Gboy De Vega

08:24 Gboy De Vega made sure

08:26 to give justice to that

08:28 dig of Provenciado

08:30 For you Van, said Gboy

08:32 And another one

08:34 for USC

08:36 Care of

08:38 Double sub has been working

08:40 for Coach Edison or Julio Nadera

08:42 has provided quality minutes

08:44 Oh my goodness

08:46 Gboy De Vega

08:48 De Vega serves

08:52 Kakau to Javelona

08:54 Drops it, no go

08:56 Yambao

08:58 They go to the other side

09:00 It's still alive

09:02 They're gonna chase it

09:04 as they send this one over to FEU

09:06 Great rally

09:10 we're having here

09:12 as Javelona tries

09:14 in Javelona

09:16 Benny Martinez

09:18 What a way

09:20 to kind of lead this team

09:22 or orchestrate the place of FEU

09:24 Great job for him

09:26 What about Josh Ebanez

09:28 Given that Josh

09:30 is doing everything he can

09:32 here for FEU

09:34 Yambao finds Josh

09:36 on the left pin

09:38 and he is blocked

09:40 Javelona

09:44 Ebanez asks for the drop

09:48 Great job

09:50 of Tempo from that drop shot

09:52 They are taking care of this

09:54 So one point lead

09:56 But for Avedra

09:58 If you can do it

10:00 All of them

10:02 Numbers only

10:04 But the performance of the men on the floor

10:06 is just

10:08 Unbelievable

10:10 That's correct

10:12 With an excellent save

10:14 But Miric Mendoza will get a free ball

10:16 They're gonna call for a net

10:18 Able

10:20 to orchestrate

10:22 that perfect play

10:24 So far so good

10:26 Drix

10:28 You gotta remember the name

10:30 Now tied at 24 all

10:32 Drix will serve

10:34 It's a good one

10:36 Yambao

10:38 And of course who else

10:40 But G-boy De Vega

10:42 Sometimes it adds to the fun

10:44 Of the game as well

10:46 Emotions running high

10:48 Talisayan

10:50 Javelona

10:52 De Vega

10:54 And that is good

10:58 For G-boy

11:00 De Vega

11:02 We're not quite sure yet but one thing is for sure

11:04 FEU needs to step it up big time

11:06 Here we go

11:08 And speaking of

11:10 I'm sorry, speaking of big time

11:12 That's exactly what we want to see

11:14 For FEU

11:16 Quick one

11:22 Yambao to Colanares

11:24 Effective

11:26 Just allowing UST to come back

11:28 We saw a service error

11:30 from Drix Avedra

11:32 Now an attack error from

11:34 Delicana

11:36 JJ Javelona is there

11:38 To save the day for the Tamarows

11:40 And one prime example

11:42 G-boy De Vega, he will be on deck to serve

11:44 They're down by two

11:46 Benny finds Drix

11:48 They go to De Vega

11:54 And G-boy is blocked

11:56 They have three

12:00 Players in the top ten of that category

12:02 I mentioned a while ago

12:04 Bugawan, Lyric Mendoza and Javelona

12:08 Clean attacks

12:10 And Joshua Valles

12:12 Really is on another level

12:14 But so is Drix Avedra

12:16 He's on the court right now

12:18 One point lead, FEU

12:20 Benny

12:22 Great dig by Van

12:26 They go to Iggy

12:28 Off the block for Iggy Ogandala

12:30 He's been doing that time and time again

12:32 Just so efficient

12:34 Yambao back set to Iggy

12:36 Another off the block

12:38 At all to USC

12:40 If you want to extend this

12:42 To a fifth set

12:44 This is already the fourth set as well

12:46 So the first few sets

12:48 FEU knows what to do

12:50 If they have the lead

12:52 Trying to make sure

12:54 This will be a five-setter game

12:56 G-boy De Vega

12:58 However, he's not going to be able to

13:00 Do a five-setter

13:02 Game

13:04 However, on the side of USC

13:06 He's got a couple of tricks

13:08 In the fourth

13:10 19 serving

13:12 17, Yambao

13:14 Quick glance aside, Jose Valles

13:16 As Martinez

13:20 I haven't finished my words yet

13:22 That's how fast

13:24 That tempo is, Bailey

13:26 He has been so efficient here

13:28 For the Golden Spikers

13:30 We're all tied up, 22 all

13:32 They go to Delicana

13:34 Succeeded

13:36 Because now, J.J. Avellona

13:38 Is in the front row

13:40 And we know what he can do

13:42 Yambao to Iggy

13:44 And Iggy Omandala

13:48 We're not seeing an ounce

13:50 Of that pressure from him

13:52 Overpass

13:54 It is USC point

13:58 Golden Spikers

14:00 Everything on the line

14:02 Kakau

14:04 Dug up

14:08 They go to Iggy

14:10 And that is it

14:14 First-defeat today

14:20 Everybody relax

14:22 All heart for these two teams

14:26 They go to Iggy

14:28 And Iggy said, "No problem

14:32 I'll do it again"

14:34 Nerves of steel

14:36 Iggy Omandala

14:38 Ariel, they'll go to Avellona

14:42 Dug up by Van

14:44 G-boy De Vega

14:46 And that is it

14:48 For the USC Golden Spikers

14:54 >> They defied the odds, Neil.

14:58 They eliminated.
