00:00 Being the only veteran left in that starting unit from last year.
00:06 Big changes here but also can be a start of a better program as the solid block coming from Captain scoring for Lasal.
00:16 Yeah you know that was a part of that last match for me against Ateneo.
00:20 He was struggling in terms of offense but he made up for it in blocking and we're seeing it now.
00:25 He's starting off early with a one-on-one.
00:28 And we're seeing also better performance from Campton.
00:32 He's been one of the blue chip recruits that everyone has been looking at especially in this Lasal squad.
00:37 Estel Pilar converts with that quick.
00:40 Kamay Mayan just came in for Angelo Reyes.
00:46 Kamay Mayan actually started in the last match against Adamson for UE.
00:53 Look at that again.
00:55 Yeah in the pregame we did, I remember UP took NU to five sets.
01:00 So a lot of people said that what that's just straight sets.
01:04 That's what we're saying you cannot take any team for granted.
01:07 Especially here in men's volleyball because of the growth of all the programs and the coaches would even say everyone.
01:12 However they are trying too hard not to get blocked and that's changing how they hit the ball.
01:19 So they just have to try to challenge the blockers maybe.
01:22 And I ratify my discussion earlier about having a lot of championships.
01:27 UE has 12 championships in the men's division of UAAP volleyball.
01:34 So third best record.
01:37 Behind.
01:40 Good pass.
01:42 A great reception there as Maguino converts easily.
01:47 You just want to convert like you said.
01:50 It's like one piece of the puzzle works the other one doesn't.
01:54 But this time.
01:56 Big duo complete.
01:58 We did mention him in the pregame.
01:59 He is one of the leaders of the squad.
02:03 Especially after a timeout.
02:07 Serve now comes from Defeo on the other side.
02:10 They go to captain block there by UE.
02:13 They try on the pipe from Kilio on the other side.
02:16 Defeo pops this one up to a block by Lasal.
02:23 Well that was you know that wall by Adahar.
02:29 Biggest lead so far has been 10.
02:31 It has been trimmed down to 6.
02:34 Serve coming from Bikar still.
02:36 They go up to Campton cross court and stops the bleeding for Lasal.
02:43 But still, Campton just gets that cross.
02:47 The wind up but you know that he had to make do with that set.
02:50 Adjusting to that set as well.
02:52 They go up to Mangayis tipping it too high.
02:55 Red well by Guerrero on the other side.
02:56 They go up to Maglinao for an eight point lead.
03:01 Yeah now you don't envy UE because if you see the full and Campton.
03:05 It's like who are we going to guard?
03:07 But you have to try get some blocks here.
03:10 Mangayis will try this time but speaking of blocks.
03:13 Serong Kilio with a solid block there.
03:16 And we always say you know when we talk about strengths of each team.
03:20 And they use it that team's gonna really definitely prevail.
03:24 Oh solid swipe coming from Maglinao right there.
03:28 Very light.
03:29 Serve coming from Adahar on the other side.
03:33 Bikar goes up to the opposite side.
03:36 A hit coming from Pozas.
03:37 They hit that ball out and that becomes the win.
03:43 And if you're you, you want to take advantage of the overpasses.
03:46 And sometimes it might just be a very easy case of aggressiveness.
03:51 Just like how aggressive Maglinao is from the pipe.
03:54 Campton and the jump serve popped up there by Herbosa.
03:59 They go up to Pozas on the other side.
04:01 Del Pilar sets us up to Maglinao.
04:05 Overseas. Oh Serong Kilio on that legado.
04:08 But just enough to catch the line there.
04:12 But good hustle by UE.
04:13 Yeah but we have to say Quezon was working hard in that rally.
04:19 The floor defense is actually improved here for LaSalle.
04:23 However the block of Billy Anima leaves the room wide open for coverage.
04:28 Billy Anima is really established that wall.
04:33 And UE having all sorts of problems right now.
04:36 They continue their fiesta this year.
04:39 They go up to Mangahis.
04:43 Mangahis denied again.
04:44 Three block points for LaSalle now.
04:47 Player. All around player for LaSalle.
04:50 Look at that. Solid.
04:51 Mangahis with three attack point serves at the heart goes up to Anima.
04:56 Technically an A.
05:01 Jump serve from Maglinao on the other side.
05:04 Mangahis for the free ball.
05:07 Guer was there at the heart.
05:09 Simply going for a combination play.
05:11 It's really tough also to really keep these balls alive.
05:18 Especially if it's coming from a very sharp jump serve.
05:20 From a beach volleyball player who's used to all the elements.
05:24 However outsmarting them is Aligayon of UE.
05:28 Nothing too far.
05:30 So he gets that in.
05:31 Just the right angle as Poquita goes up to Canton.
05:34 With a cannon.
05:37 Serve coming from Reyes on the other side.
05:43 Canton from the pipe.
05:45 Mangahis will give up a free ball.
05:49 Anima there for reception.
05:51 They go up to Ronquillo who finds the corner.
05:54 Mangahis serves.
05:57 It's a tagayo.
05:57 Poquita going to Maglinao.
06:02 That is going to hit the nets.
06:04 Maglinao at 10.
06:06 Ronquillo at 8.
06:08 And then Canton at 7.
06:10 At the heart already with four points here.
06:14 You can't rely on technology all the time.
06:19 Yeah but zero challenges so far.
06:23 Well let's not ask for it.
06:25 Marina as Pozas gets this one through the blockers.
06:28 That was clearer.
06:30 Yeah that was a clearer check ball.
06:32 Sometimes the players don't feel check ball.
06:36 They get numb sometimes with how hard that ball could hit.
06:40 As Noel Canton hits that ball harder.
06:43 Speaking of hard.
06:44 Good serve.
06:49 Bikar goes up to Pozas who's been the shining light of UE.
06:54 They go up to Ronquillo from the pipe.
06:56 Down the line Redwell there by Herbosa.
06:59 Adjustment with an off-speed shot coming from Canton.
07:04 Pozas trying again.
07:06 At the heart goes up to Canton again through the double block.
07:09 Good defense though.
07:10 Long rally we're having here.
07:11 Mangahis tipping it over to the other side.
07:14 A tip coming from Del Pilar kept alive there by Herbosa.
07:17 They go up to Pozas through the blockers.
07:19 Maglinao was there.
07:20 Longest rally we're having so far.
07:23 Oh solid pancake.
07:24 Pozas tipping it over.
07:25 Still alive.
07:29 Great hustle from both sides of the court.
07:31 Pozas going cross-court.
07:33 Through the block and finding a kill for that ball.
07:37 Very tight set number two as Ekoide Har serves with 11 excellent sets in this ball game.
07:43 Good pass.
07:45 Pozas will try.
07:47 Cross-court works.
07:49 So yeah I mean remind them of the different options.
07:53 Serve came from Lasal but a great call.
07:56 Um conversion right after the timeout coming from Jeloreyes.
08:01 Lasal is up by two.
08:02 Pozas with 11 points in this ball game serves.
08:05 At the heart.
08:08 We'll put this one up for Maglinao through the triple block and finding the corner.
08:12 Three-point lead for Lasal.
08:17 Serve coming from Ronquillo.
08:20 Mangahis will try this time through the uh to the blockers.
08:23 They go up to Campton.
08:26 Kept alive by Uy.
08:27 Let's see where Adahar will go.
08:30 He goes up to a combination play for Ronquillo.
08:33 Four set points here by Lasal.
08:38 Let's see if Uy will be able to save one as Del Pilar serves.
08:42 Go straight to Mangahis on the other side.
08:44 They go up to Maralet with a tip.
08:48 Adahar going for the quick to Anima and Lily Anima finishes things off with a five-point lead.
08:55 Jean Poquita the third.
08:57 Well he did mention you know before that timeout two errors already on the side of Uy.
09:03 So they want to correct that here.
09:06 Campton will adjust but he is blocked by Uy.
09:11 Ventura.
09:16 And Adahar for the double sub serve coming from Mangahis.
09:21 Poquita goes up to the pipe for Desus.
09:27 It was supposed to be for Maglina.
09:28 But that works for Lasal.
09:33 May it be men's, women's.
09:35 As serve now will come from Pozas on the other side.
09:40 They go up to Maglina with a tip.
09:43 Smartly placing it right behind the blockers.
09:46 Uy just slowly but surely creeping in here.
09:50 Serve now came from Reyes and the quick conversion coming from JM Ronquillo.
09:58 So a lot of the players also don't use the paddles because some of the players that are inside
10:04 have numbers like 23, 24.
10:08 Yeah but you can mix two and three.
10:10 Yeah 13 block points for Lasal in total so far.
10:15 Wow.
10:16 They cast from with that first ball.
10:17 They go up to Ventura who's denied there.
10:20 And now it becomes a one-point game.
10:22 They go up and Adahar goes up to Ventura on the other side.
10:28 Bekar choosing.
10:30 Oh what a hit coming from Axel Devea.
10:35 Looked like a dunk.
10:39 Three of the current players inside the court were not starters as Maglina pounds this through
10:46 and finds the line for Lasal.
10:48 Let's just support.
10:51 The call is the call and you can't challenge calls like this.
10:56 These are judgment calls as Maralet gets that one through.
11:00 Campton babies that one and works for the green shirts.
11:08 Straight to Maralet, Bekar pops this up.
11:10 Quick great dig coming from the Decaso Campton.
11:14 Off speed finding a donut hole.
11:15 One point lead back to the favor of Lasal.
11:20 As momentum swings back to the green side.
11:23 Serve goes straight to UE.
11:26 Posas adjusting on the other side.
11:29 Adahar going to Campton.
11:31 Returned Adahar being aggressive popped up by Mangahis.
11:34 Posas will try again.
11:37 Maglina was there.
11:38 They go to the quick to Del Pilar kept alive by her Bosa.
11:41 Long rally we have here Mangahis finding a spot.
11:45 Their error at eight apiece.
11:48 That has been the reason why the starting unit has been returned here.
11:53 Maglina adjusting for that very wide pipe shot.
11:56 Solid block coming from JM Roquillo against Posas.
12:00 I don't envy UE.
12:03 When you look at the front row now of Lasal, all three have had kill blocks.
12:07 Yeah.
12:08 So who are you going to challenge?
12:10 Let's see as they try to challenge it with a soft tip.
12:13 Campton diving for that one.
12:14 Maglina adjusting on the other side.
12:17 Bekar goes up to Posas.
12:18 Kept alive by Poquita.
12:20 Decaso chooses Roquillo.
12:24 Poquita goes up to Maglina tipping it over.
12:27 Red well by Bekar.
12:29 Adjustment kept alive by Campton.
12:33 Maglina down the line.
12:35 Bekar is dead.
12:37 Block there coming from Del Pilar.
12:40 Mangahis through the blockers this time.
12:43 Pinaranas.
12:45 And look at that celebration.
12:48 But what defense displayed by both teams.
12:52 UE did not go beyond 21 earlier.
12:56 Roquillo through the blockers.
13:03 Just enough before he almost touched the net and almost crossed the midline.
13:08 The highest scoring production that UE has produced in the last three sets.
13:14 Maglina going for the kill.
13:17 Serve coming from Roquillo on the other side.
13:26 They go to Maralet.
13:27 It's been very effective and extends the sets.
13:31 Doosing the match.
13:33 That's a pressure packed sub.
13:38 Very tight sub there.
13:40 Oh what a hit and no center at the moment.
13:45 But Maglina making it.
13:47 Serve from UE was tough.
13:51 Poquita goes up to Campton.
13:53 Oh great adjustment coming from LaSalle tying the ball game at 27.
13:57 Not to save, they have two blockers, they can't score.
14:01 Serve coming from LaSalle.
14:04 UE with a great recovery.
14:07 Sub point goes to UE.
14:12 Serve coming from Bekar, strongest front line of UE.
14:15 Yeah.
14:16 Poquita goes up to Campton again.
14:18 Off the blockers and that's a point.
14:20 You know at close matches you don't want to be getting over eager and going for the net.
14:27 Let me rephrase my statement a while ago.
14:29 If UE wins this, this will be the second set that they won.
14:32 However, that ball goes out and the story becomes LaSalle wins this in-straight set.
14:40 And you did say not to jinx them.
14:42 Looking for a block touch there.
14:44 Let's see what a challenge.
14:45 Everybody will say nope.
14:46 No block touch there coming from Billy Anima.
14:52 That's why this will be a unsuccessful challenge.
