00:00...in which he does these substitutions, it will be key.

00:04First point will go to the Philippines, Teja Gagate will see all aggression right away from Teja.

00:10And again, for Las Filipinas, the key here will definitely be their service game.

00:17This is something that worked for them all throughout the tournament.

00:21Kasey Hogan, 20-year-old, talking about her, it's not a usual starter.

00:27Oh, brilliant play from Cece Rondina.

00:31And how she saw that hole on the other side really is a mystery at 5'5".

00:38Take a look at the ball control, deceiving the floor defense of Australia.

00:45A reverse again to Nino, this time gets it through.

00:50That's another point, and it is tip for tat so far in this first set.

00:55Looks like Nino has done her homework here, finding all the weak spots on the floor defense of Australia.

01:11The younger players as well, 23-years-old.

01:19Chance here for the Philippines, Gagate!

01:25Australia on to a Las Filipinas here, Gagate one more time, and there's Gia for you!

01:31Just the trust that she has in her teammates.

01:34Exactly, Gia Morado de Guzman starting to play fast volleyball here, activating the middles,

01:40giving Teja Gagate that second attempt, perfect spot, and that be quick attack to counter Australia.

01:51She scored 11 the last time out.

01:54Let's see where Gia goes, back to Angel Codino with that great cut shot.

02:03Smooth plays coming from Gia Morado de Guzman, the session making on point right now.

02:11And that's 4 points for Angel Codino, and a 4-point lead, 5 points for the Philippines.

02:18And Angel's cohesiveness, which is definitely what we are seeing,

02:23plus these service aces and really minimized errors on the court for the Philippines,

02:33they're playing very clean so far.

02:356-point advantage for Alaska.

02:42First wall, just perfect execution, starting with that perfect first pass.

02:47We've talked about the attackers, but we have to mention Nierva and Don Macandili-Catindigo

02:53has been solid in the floor defense.

02:57Big serve, what a pickup by Nierva though.

03:05Ball still good, this one is over, chance here for Australia to set up, not quite.

03:12Gia with the ball, Fifi with the quick.

03:15Back row, a little confusion on the Australia side.

03:20Great pickup by Australia reading that one, but the ball at the point will be given to Alas-Philippinas.

03:29A variety of attacks coming from Cici Rondina is really making the floor defense of Australia work.

03:37For Alas-Philippinas, Australia definitely.

03:43And Canino just refuses to give in, and we are seeing the Philippines just doggedly determined in today's match.

03:53Angel Canino again and again, she has been that scoring machine.

03:59Angel Canino again and again, she has been that scoring machine.

04:05But it's still set point, this could be it for Alas-Philippinas.

04:08Back row attack, Cici Rondina will get the win for Alas-Philippinas in this third set.

04:18Crowd enjoying that last exchange and the first set win.

04:23Alas-Philippinas wins.

04:26Cici Rondina scoring the winning point in the first set for Alas-Philippinas.

04:34Perfect angle there, three blockers but still found that hole.

04:39Marada de Guzman, she just knows that Adapte Agagate has the height advantage here, continues to maximize on that.

04:45But unfortunately, as he mentioned, a net touch error on that one.

04:495'8 and a half is the average height of the Philippines.

04:52Of course, we have a 5-foot Katindig who has skewed the average.

04:56But we also have 5'5 Cici Rondina who plays like she is 6'2.

05:02You know, I'm not sure if this is a game plan of Australia, but they have been targeting Jen Nierva on the first ball.

05:08And Jen Nierva is one of the best passers of Alas-Philippinas.

05:12Right, this time Cici Rondina is able to counter Adapte Agagate.

05:18Will score this time, no net violation.

05:22And we're seeing, as you mentioned partner, a lot of these quick plays, a lot of these transition plays that happen in warp speed.

05:32Does not allow the blockers to establish on the side of Australia.

05:42Good defense by Agagate there.

05:45And Laura finishes it off.

05:49Laura says, I will not waste that effort by Thea Agagate to keep the ball in play.

05:54Thea Agagate just having an all-around game so far from net defense, from offense.

06:00Right now, contributing from the floor defense.

06:03That's an ALR, as you mentioned.

06:08Cassie Dodd, 6'2. Nierva with a perfect pass there.

06:12Fifi Sharma converting. Again, just 1-2-3, just like that for the Philippines.

06:19Has been the middles here so far in the second set.

06:24Thea Agagate, Fifi Sharma with an impact point.

06:28Man, Australia's blockers always really in her face.

06:34Look at that pick-up by Canino. Laura will go again despite that two-man block.

06:39She finds a way through.

06:42It's those angles.

06:46A lot of smooth plays coming from Alas, Filipinas.

06:50You have to credit the floor defense of Angel Canino, of Cece Rondina.

06:56Thea Agagate even.

06:58Seven-point deficit earlier, almost threatening to win that first set.

07:05But Cece Rondina this time, now at the front.

07:09And she is up to no good.

07:12She is really a thorn on the side of the volley rule.

07:16She's got all sorts of tricks up her sleeve.

07:21And Philippines should be taking advantage of this rotation.

07:27It's Canino on the right wing.

07:30And Agagate with that push.

07:34She's having a heyday today. Agagate enjoying her time on the court.

07:40Can't give that overpass against Thea Agagate.

07:44Not timing that one well.

07:47Beating Australia in that overpass.

07:56Canino will go.

07:58She uses the hands of her blocker.

08:00Smart play by Angel.

08:04And again, Janierva delivering the good first ball.

08:08Only one blocker for Angel Canino.

08:14Lauren Cox.

08:16Middle blocker also coming in.

08:18She's six foot four.

08:20Australia at the end.

08:22As we talked about, Gia De Guzman looking for one play.

08:26And then going back to the usual.

08:29Quick with Fifi.

08:31Exactly. Perfect play there.

08:33No blockers. Jumping with Fifi Sharma.

08:37Official from Taipei with that call.

08:39The Philippines with an eight point lead.

08:42Getting closer to winning the second set.

08:46James is working for Angel Canino.

08:50Now the magic from the service line.

08:56We already know how good Angel Canino is.

08:59But she has been a revelation here.

09:03This is an error they definitely want to capitalize on.

09:06And see if they can get a run.

09:08The Philippines now getting closer to the 25 point mark.

09:13That serve. Canino is marked.

09:17And Gia is not.

09:20She just had the perfect timing for those one-two plays.

09:26These sneak attacks.

09:28One-two plays are only effective if the timing is perfect.

09:32And Gia Morada De Guzman executing a perfect one-two play.

09:39A three-point for Alas Filipinas.

09:41Several of them.

09:43Let's see if they can get it now.

09:44Will they close out?

09:45Canino from behind.

09:47Good dig by Australia.

09:49Tipping.

09:51Stuck by Eyalauri.

09:53Gondina will go.

09:56We're seeing good defense from the Aussies.

10:02Gondina again.

10:03Evading a two-man block of Australia.

10:06Australia finishing it off one more time for Alas Filipinas.

10:11An easier second set win for them.

10:1425-15 is how that game went.

10:17And look at this crowd.

10:19They're just enjoying every minute of this match so far.

10:23Look at CeCe just totally evading the two-man block.

10:27Again, not the tallest but definitely has the biggest heart in playing volleyball.

10:32Another perfect angle for her.

10:34Avoiding the blockers, challenging the libero.

10:37Alas Filipinas live at one sports, one sports plus.

10:40Enjoying the action as well.

10:41Canino!

10:42Right away with a kill.

10:46There's no mercy for Angel Canino today.

10:49Again, Angel Canino just really embraced her role as an opposite hitter.

10:54Not her natural position.

10:58Daniela Stephens, the playmaker.

11:00Very experienced setter for Australia.

11:06Oh, great pick up there.

11:11Defense on both sides working.

11:13Canino, this time escaping.

11:15Kaitlyn dipping in.

11:17You see the frustration in Dippy's face.

11:19Her body language saying it all.

11:23Angel Canino with two points already in this set.

11:27Kaitlyn dipping.

11:29She read that one well but she could not position herself perfectly to go for that dig.

11:35That has been working for them here.

11:40Outside set to Lowry.

11:42And she pounds the pavement too.

11:46And you know because Lea Gagate is a threat to the offense.

11:50He can't leave her.

11:51Two blockers staying with her.

11:53Giving a lot of, no blockers at all.

11:56Kaitlyn tipping.

11:57Trying to.

11:58Everywhere.

11:59On the Alas Pilipinas side.

12:01And Gia de Guzman knows how to distribute her balls.

12:05Dipping.

12:06Picked up by de Guzman.

12:09Canino with a tip.

12:10Berthen with a save.

12:12Back set.

12:13And look at the blocks.

12:16And the Filipinas decided to join the block party.

12:21The strength of Alas Pilipinas is offense.

12:25So any points in their net defense is a big help.

12:30Especially in scoring 50 sharp.

12:32The advantage that Australia needs to catch up.

12:38Will go up.

12:40Oh deceiving.

12:42And she just changes her mind midair.

12:46Again the versatility of Angel Canino is really her strength here.

12:51Take a look at that.

12:53Pulling the floor defense.

12:55Changing angles.

12:56Changing tempo.

12:57Here in the ABC.

12:59And showing up here for the first time for Australia in this third set.

13:07Oh!

13:08Phoebe Sharma!

13:09Just her eyes on the ball.

13:12After that one-two by Chia de Guzman that was read by Australia actually.

13:20Phoebe Sharma stayed locked in on that one.

13:22Oh look at those eyes.

13:25Laura with nine points today.

13:28And make that ten points after a second service ace from Ella.

13:33She is in double digits now.

13:36Ella Laura playing consistent service game right now.

13:40Has been going to the Libero of Australia in since.

13:44She needs some support.

13:46She needs some help.

13:49She's going for the jump serve.

13:52And Aya taking care of that one.

13:55And Cicero Dino with a finish.

13:59Anyone Australia trying to target in this first ball delivers a perfect first ball.

14:04The reason why there's only one blocker always.

14:08Because again Chia de Guzman is a humongous lead for the Philippines.

14:14Thirteen point cushion for Alas.

14:21Three ball here chance for Chia de Guzman to rebound.

14:24Chia de Guzman got it!

14:26Is a recipient of that set and she scores point number eleven.

14:31Big game for Chia de Guzman today.

14:33Again an all around game being a threat both in offense and defense.

14:39Set point, match point, bronze medal point.

14:43This is a moment in history that we are all anticipating.

14:47Let's see if Australia can foil this one.

14:51Cece!

14:53Nobody home!

14:55In zone!

14:56Five!

14:57The Philippines win the bronze and make history!

15:04Placing for the first time in any international competition.

15:09What an effort by Alas Filipinas.

15:12Coming together, two weeks of preparation.

15:17Fighting with their hearts.

15:18Giving up one match all tournament long and coming home with the bronze.

15:24So Alas Filipinas winning the bronze in flawless fashion.

15:29Take a look at Chia Morada de Guzman with some tears.

15:33She has been the anchor, the heart and soul of this Alas Filipinas team.

15:38Again she had an international experience.

15:41She's the veteran in this team and she has led the team perfectly.

15:46But you know a lot of players also coming alive and stepping up for team Philippines.

15:51Aya Laures, Cece Rondina, Angel Camino, Deia Gagate with an all around game today.

15:58Fifi Sharma being consistent on the service line to get the bronze medal match.

16:04And we have Gen Yerva and Don Macadilly.
