00:00 UST Dux Yambao serving.
00:04 First ball, Retamar.
00:07 Combination play.
00:10 Wow, that was a well read kill block.
00:14 Yambao will continue to serve here.
00:22 Retamar this time reverses to Niko Almendras, catches the line.
00:28 Dayo Aringos is here.
00:33 He's going to be here, off the set.
00:36 They still have to find their groove, but of course Josh Ibanez here garners the cheers of the arena.
00:42 Down the line, attacks.
00:47 Wow, just like hitting practice.
00:50 Passing it to Owaretamar perfectly.
00:52 Playing here for him here in Season 86.
00:57 He goes to Jayda, a save by Yambao and a push by De La Noche.
01:03 Wow, what presence of mind showed there.
01:06 And you mentioned a while ago, they have experience, championship experience.
01:10 They've gone through one whole season, no losses.
01:13 They can get back in this ballgame.
01:15 It's 3-7 now.
01:17 Dux Yambao goes to Josh Ibanez, from the back, the line.
01:21 Him soar.
01:26 And the trust that Retamar has for Jade, even though Jade is just a rookie, he's already giving her the ball.
01:31 I guess no rookie, rookie, if you know that your attacker can deliver.
01:36 Now in the front line as you check it out once again.
01:41 Bega with that first ball, quick set and attack.
01:45 And he has it.
01:47 They go to Nico.
01:53 Manu.
01:55 Sets to Nico Almendrez but the triple block by UST.
02:00 The UST blockers, three tall blockers in front of him.
02:04 And that's a dual, I mean just the height disparity, you can really see it.
02:10 But of course, UST's vertical look at that from the back.
02:14 Close out though, back to center.
02:17 That's the real strength of NU.
02:21 They're blocking ever since.
02:23 Sumagi wasn't there on time to save it.
02:26 It's 12-9 on our scoreboard.
02:31 Adjustment minute here by Nico Almendrez and that's why he's the veteran all around the player.
02:37 And the late block attempt of Josh Ibanez.
02:41 Josh Ibanez.
02:45 Daxianbao to Colinares again.
02:50 Blocked.
02:51 NU has it.
02:52 Awaretamar goes back to the wing.
02:57 Attack from the back by the Bega.
02:59 Up here to Josh Ibanez.
03:01 Saradong, saradong.
03:04 This has got to feel good.
03:06 Just look at that.
03:08 It's a two-point lead now in the UST side of things.
03:15 Awaretamar chases that to set.
03:20 Owa this time, back to Jade.
03:24 Ibanez with the first ball.
03:25 Daxianbao to floor.
03:27 A chase by NU.
03:32 Awaretamar will give UST a chance ball.
03:34 They take advantage.
03:38 Awaretamar getting the Bega block.
03:45 Everything has to be estimated perfectly.
03:48 Almendrez will continue to serve.
03:52 To Colinares this time.
03:56 From the middle for Colinares.
03:59 We saw that there's a huge gap.
04:04 That's where he went for that kill.
04:05 The setters, they tend to go to the wingers.
04:08 But he still chooses to go to the middle blockers.
04:11 Free ball here for UST.
04:16 De la noche.
04:17 Not the hardest of hits.
04:19 But still made away with that attack.
04:21 Targeted that area with the power tip.
04:25 Smartly again for the reigning best opposite.
04:29 De la noche with the service.
04:34 They go back to Jade, their rookie.
04:39 It all started with the perfect pass from Nico Almendrez.
04:43 Just timing.
04:44 This first set is very hot.
04:47 Oh wow.
04:51 Speechless.
04:56 That was a cross court attack.
05:01 Checking out once again.
05:06 Paying off the set point for UST.
05:12 Almendrez will give a chance ball to the golden spikers.
05:16 Off of the hands of Josh.
05:21 And they take the first set.
05:23 What a play there.
05:26 But it all started with a good serve.
05:33 De la noche.
05:37 And he has the ball.
05:38 Almendrez will make away this time.
05:40 Manu with that coverage.
05:44 Jadak took over there for UST.
05:47 Off speed hit by Josh.
05:50 To start off the second set.
05:52 Blockers already in front of him.
05:55 A gaping hole.

06:43 Much taller than him.
06:46 >> For MU along with Retamara.
06:49 With that service.
06:52 They go back to Jade.
06:55 He just saw an opening there.

07:47 Attacking from the left side.
07:50 >> You win those very long rallies.
07:53 At the next point you just give a free point.
07:56 >> It's a lot of pressure.
07:59 It hurts.
08:01 I know that feeling.
08:04 >> They have to rise above this and create momentum for
08:07 themselves.
08:10 Retamara goes to Nico Almendrez.
08:13 And speaking of which, veteran ways.
08:16 Nico here in the front row for MU.

11:27 And we haven't seen MU looking for a solution.
11:30 Against the floor.
11:33 >> Here it is.
11:36 They will speed up the serve.
11:39 We have to be ready.
11:42 MU hasn't adjusted yet.
11:45 They have to.
