The NU Lady Bulldogs advance to a third-straight UAAP Finals after eliminating FEU in the Season 86 Final Four.

Transcript

00:00 Let's not forget that FEU has a winner.

00:03 Having defeated the Lady Bulldogs for the first time this season,

00:06 and actually since Season 84,

00:08 Coach Manolo told the girls,

00:09 and last Saturday, that that was the result.

00:12 It's a good thing it's still Saturday.

00:13 Because you have a couple of days to really get that adrenaline off of your body.

00:17 Yeah, recuperate, come back.

00:18 Chance ball for FEU.

00:23 Ubaldo will choose to score for herself.

00:28 On a second call put away.

00:30 So, no really strange thing with Tina Salak there on the bench,

00:35 taking care of the setter.

00:37 Belen in the middle goes for the swipe.

00:39 She knew there was an open spot at the corner.

00:42 Lamina.

00:45 Tagao, and nobody in front of her.

00:51 Explodes.

00:52 Capabilities, no?

00:54 And really deceiving the blockers.

00:56 Combination play materializes even if it wasn't a clean one.

01:03 They get the point in the elimination round.

01:08 And she also, by the way, averages 12 against FEU.

01:11 So, 8 is way low.

01:13 Yeah, it was just not her day.

01:15 I saw Zia Vacho wearing a Chasing History shirt.

01:21 As Pangilinan, the captain, puts it away.

01:26 And then, you know, face the challenge.

01:30 That's also the beauty of having a twice the lead advantage, right?

01:33 That's what you try to earn.

01:35 As the number one team, Ubaldo.

01:38 Bakanke.

01:40 Oh, what a dig by Belen.

01:43 Chance ball for FEU.

01:45 Ubaldo in the middle, to Bakanke, pushed.

01:50 Harjo there, working hard.

01:52 But it's FEU always on the attack here.

01:55 Petalio.

01:55 Denied!

01:57 FEU sweepers.

02:00 Grabe.

02:02 One-handed dig by Bella.

02:05 And then they gave a free ball.

02:07 And then a single block by Lams Lapina.

02:13 Congratulations.

02:16 Good to see you again today, here in the second game.

02:19 [Cheering]

02:24 This is good effort by NU.

02:26 They get it over the net.

02:27 What will Ubaldo do?

02:29 Belen, again!

02:33 What defense, Pauline, Coach Tina, and Coach Carl, are their assistants this year, right?

02:43 As NU again.

02:46 [Cheering]

02:50 Good serve.

02:51 Chance to counter here.

02:55 From the back, Alinsug.

02:56 Drops in!

02:58 In a do-or-die matchup for National University.

03:03 That's in.

03:06 That's Devasora.

03:07 [Cheering]

03:09 Devasora.

03:10 Hard, sharp balls.

03:15 [Cheering]

03:17 Belen goes long.

03:18 Alberto, who replaces Ubaldo in the setting for FEU.

03:25 Belen, nobody home!

03:26 [Cheering]

03:33 Lamina will open up to Solomon.

03:35 That drops in for Eliza.

03:38 Same exact spot.

03:41 This match at four points.

03:42 It's in!

03:45 [Cheering]

03:46 Bella Belen with her third ace of the match.

03:50 Looking for their third straight finals appearance.

03:54 Bardio receiving.

03:56 Alinsug from behind.

03:58 Ubaldo opens up.

04:01 Tagao leans.

04:02 [Cheering]

04:03 That's playable.

04:04 Oh, but Panangin.

04:05 Too much adrenaline behind the underhand pass.

04:10 Season 86, so we want to congratulate first and foremost, May and Jules for a job well done for the year.

04:17 Yep.

04:18 Oh!

04:20 Eliza Solomon!

04:22 The player of the game honors in their game last Saturday told me that one of her memorable quotes

04:28 from Coach P is to be one percent better every day.

04:31 And as an adapt of the lady down there, she gave some mental in the road.

04:35 Now, back to you, Boomin Pauline.

04:36 Thank you very much, May.

04:38 Three all is our score.

04:40 Reverse to Bakake.

04:42 That's her first point.

04:43 She is happy about that.

04:46 Chasing history, that's what it says.

04:49 They're up 4-3.

04:51 [Cheering]

04:53 Turing.

04:53 Lamina.

05:00 Oh!

05:02 Solid block!

05:06 Three blocks already in the second set for FEU.

05:09 6-4 FEU.

05:12 Sharp serve.

05:13 Nobody home!

05:17 Behind Paguinina.

05:19 No coverage!

05:20 Against Coach Oji Mamun.

05:24 But still supporting the women's.

05:26 And a lot of people really have come out today because it is a do or die game.

05:30 Yes.

05:31 Oh!

05:32 Alinsug.

05:33 They can't organize the second ball.

05:36 Oh!

05:39 Oh!

05:40 That's just Aigu.

05:42 11-6.

05:45 Encarnacion popping it up.

05:52 Tagawad.

05:53 In transition!

05:57 Puts it away!

06:01 The receive of NU has gone back to that previous game.

06:06 While it's becoming hitting practice now for FEU.

06:11 Whole team effort.

06:14 Bella will try again.

06:18 That's what I'm saying.

06:20 9-3 run after that Bella Belen hit.

06:23 How do you feel?

06:24 It's hard, of course.

06:26 It's loud.

06:27 So you have to be mentally tough.

06:30 14-9.

06:31 Mamina will go back to Bella.

06:34 Bella will go for the strike.

06:35 3-0 run.

06:37 14-9.

06:40 Shaky first ball again.

06:45 Macan NU that was coming.

06:48 Tagawad on the other end.

06:50 High.

06:51 Pop set to Bella.

06:53 Oh what a spot!

06:55 Bella Belen will not be denied!

06:58 She's not choosing.

07:00 Yes, she will find a way.

07:02 Tagawad in the middle.

07:04 What a play by Ubaldo.

07:05 Fourth ace of the match!

07:12 From being seven points away from FEU.

07:16 Solomon denied.

07:20 Belen was there for coverage.

07:23 Alinsug.

07:24 Off a deflection.

07:26 Chance ball here.

07:28 And they roll it.

07:30 It's back with FEU.

07:31 Ubaldo.

07:32 Tugtulak mula sa FEU.

07:35 Alinsug again with a tip.

07:37 Ubaldo keeps it alive.

07:40 Betayo goes down the line.

07:42 Lamina.

07:43 Solomon pulls!

07:44 These points.

07:49 Well FEU naman needs to change things up.

07:52 Makangke again.

07:53 It's too high.

07:55 Turing saw that.

07:57 Solomon tips it to the corner.

07:59 And then FEU has taken over the lead.

08:01 Doesn't have to be on the net.

08:03 It's also the defense underneath.

08:05 It's a big deal.

08:06 It's a 17-all.

08:09 Solomon.

08:11 Tagawad took it in the chest.

08:13 Betayo sends it over.

08:14 Lamina will bump it to Alinsug.

08:17 Denied!

08:19 Entry!

08:20 And the stare down from Vida Makangke.

08:23 Another over-received ball.

08:28 And look at that.

08:29 Hargu will score a point.

08:31 Ubaldo had to chase that one.

08:39 Pono.

08:41 To Belen from behind.

08:43 18-all is our score.

08:46 Jean Ashes!

08:47 Massive swing!

08:51 It's just the connection with the setter there.

08:53 Right.

08:53 Betayo readjusts.

08:56 The touch of Pangilinan.

09:01 Ashes.

09:03 Set point.

09:04 Alinsug.

09:06 Turing!

09:07 Tag!

09:08 Tagawad again!

09:10 Denied!

09:13 Tagawad will try once more.

09:15 Lamina chases.

09:17 They go to Belen.

09:20 Good reaction by F.E.U.

09:21 One more time.

09:23 Belen again!

09:25 Tag!

09:26 Joust!

09:28 Still alive.

09:30 Tagawad!

09:32 Playable.

09:35 Ubaldo!

09:37 In the middle!

09:38 Hargu!

09:39 Alinsug!

09:41 Still going!

09:45 Tagawad!

09:46 Rebound!

09:47 Lamina to Belen!

09:50 Belen!

09:50 Ashes was there!

09:52 Longest rally of the match!

09:55 And it's still not done!

09:56 Bella!

09:59 And you!

10:02 Such a long rally!

10:04 I don't know how much footage they got of that

10:08 or how much they can show.

10:09 Bella, Belen.

10:11 Lamina.

10:12 25-24.

10:19 Hargu with the dig!

10:20 Solomon adjusts!

10:22 Sends it over safely.

10:24 In the middle!

10:25 Alinsug keeps it alive!

10:28 Chance ball.

10:29 Ubaldo.

10:31 Bella was there!

10:33 Reverse!

10:34 Solomon!

10:36 Back to F.E.U.

10:40 Tin again!

10:41 And we're all tied up!

10:44 Good receive by Petalio.

10:48 Pakage!

10:49 Oh, what an effort by Petalio!

10:53 But it doesn't make it!

10:54 It doesn't make it!

10:55 What a heartbreaking end to the second set for F.E.U.

11:00 Here we go.

11:02 The set number three.

11:04 Pakage!

11:07 She has been checked today, hasn't she?

11:12 Different.

11:13 Now with more sense of positivity and competitiveness,

11:16 even Coach Manolo told the girls at the end of the first set,

11:19 "Yung kalaban natin, F.E.U. yun noong Saturday."

11:23 That is why as inspired as they are as well with a visit

11:26 from the un-kabogabolt of Tamaraw alumnus Vice Ganda,

11:29 he shared with her two cents to the fans

11:32 that they need to have enough amount of yabang to fire them up.

11:35 In Vice Ganda's words,

11:36 "Magaling kayo. You can be humble, but you need to have high self-esteem."

11:41 Now let's see if they'll have that yabang in this third set.

11:59 Back to the panel.

12:00 Thank you very much, Jewel.

12:01 So you heard May talk about Vice Ganda visiting them,

12:06 F.E.U. in the locker room.

12:08 Jaja Santiago visiting NU.

12:10 Yeah, with special words from Risa Sato.

12:14 And then, andito sa likod natin mga NU players.

12:17 As this rally is still going, but that's an F.E.U. point right now.

12:21 5-3.

12:24 Three serving five.

12:26 Hardyo receiving.

12:27 A chance ball here to F.E.U. down two.

12:31 Sa gitna, Tagawad!

12:33 Here in the third.

12:42 Belen.

12:42 Three straight points by F.E.U.

12:45 Coach Norman Miguel will not take chances here.

12:49 In the men's, on the F.E.U. side, of course.

12:54 You know, speaking of Bella, since you were observing her during that timeout.

12:58 Right now, Bella Belen has 20 points.

13:01 They great timeout by Coach Norman Miguel.

13:03 They get a point back there.

13:04 Bella, who will serve now.

13:07 Oh, Tagawad in the corner.

13:08 Tagawad, lagging, pumptuck.

13:10 They need somebody to really serve as like a spitfire here for them.

13:18 Finals appearance.

13:20 F.E.U. has had 14.

13:22 We're talking about Final Four era.

13:24 They're behind here.

13:29 Solomon saw the gaping hole behind the blockers.

13:34 Especially if you're anticipating a hard ball.

13:39 Pakanke.

13:41 Over the blockers.

13:42 Inside.

13:43 Right at the corner.

13:43 Good first ball there.

13:49 And Pangilina dumps it to the other side for her seventh point.

13:54 It's becoming more predictable.

13:59 Well, I'm not sure what her, well, if she had a previous position before.

14:03 Maybe she's used to the left side.

14:05 Possibly.

14:09 That's the thing.

14:10 You have to really brush things off because in volleyball, you're going to make a mistake.

14:14 You're going to get blocked.

14:15 Efficiency, because in three sets, you can easily get how many sets?

14:20 A hundred, two hundred.

14:23 But it's a matter of how many times can you kill those sets and convert it to two points?

14:28 Denied.

14:30 You know what it also shows?

14:35 Nine wins after six wins last year, after one win the year before.

14:40 And it is Alinsug who pounds the ball.

14:46 And pounds FEU into submission today as National U will march to the finals.
