00:00 [crowd cheering]
00:02 - Oh, double handed swipe!
00:09 - This girl, she really gets on top of the ball, no?
00:12 - Sometimes, there.
00:13 - Super athletic move.
00:15 Look at the adjustment, okay, why not?
00:17 - No more composed and has better communication
00:18 with her teammates.
00:19 In training, her primary focus was the quality
00:21 of her movement, particularly in the adjustments
00:24 to blocking and spiking in preparation for today's match.
00:27 - Momentum in that first set.
00:30 [crowd cheering]
00:32 - Good reaction by Pono.
00:36 And a chance ball for Lasal, up for Malaluan.
00:42 Squeezes it through the block!
00:44 Another chance ball for Lasal,
00:48 Cornell will go back to Aliyah, goes long.
00:51 Pono.
00:52 Alinsug, De Leon again.
00:56 Laput.
00:57 Doug.
00:58 Back to Alinsug.
01:00 Sa git na!
01:04 What a play!
01:05 Inside the big dome!
01:11 - A profido with a power tip!
01:14 A faster transition this time on the side.
01:18 - When they don't get the perfect set,
01:19 - They still know how to get that point.
01:22 - Still find a way.
01:25 Set back this time.
01:27 - Robido reading that one well.
01:29 - First ball, Solomon.
01:36 No reaction from the defense of NU.
01:40 That's a 3-0 run from TLSU.
01:42 - Good net defense, a better blocking formation this time
01:47 over Solomon, no coverage on the side of NU.
01:52 - So far of six attacks, one block and two service aces.
01:57 - Belen, rejected.
01:59 - Reed there, perfect timing to go for that block
02:06 against Bella Belen.
02:07 - Let's see what's gonna happen here in set number four.
02:12 Cornell will get us going with a one point lead.
02:14 Sheena, checked by Robido.
02:19 - It was very clear, Robido read that one.
02:23 - Big shoes to fill.
02:24 - For sure, definitely.
02:27 Both of them.
02:28 - That's true.
02:29 Jed Nirva on the other side,
02:31 Justin Hazareno on the side of Lasal.
02:34 - 3-0!
02:36 - Truly rising above their rivals.
02:39 And it will be thrilling to witness them
02:40 maintain their momentum and hopefully walk away
02:42 from this game with another win.
02:45 Now this report is brought to you
02:46 by the Filipinas Time Hive.
02:47 - One point deficit earlier in the third set.
02:50 The NU now behind six.
02:53 They've got seven.
02:55 - I'm starting to believe that this side of the Filipina
02:58 playing excellently there in the front row.
03:00 A couple of impact plays, impact attacks,
03:03 solid blocks from her.
03:05 Keep talking about the activation of the middles
03:08 and there you go!
03:09 - On cue!
03:10 - Out on cue!
03:11 Robido with another point in this game.
03:15 We've been trying to look for the activation
03:17 in the middles, not just on the side of Lasal
03:19 but also on the side of NU and so far, it's Lasal.
03:23 - Best setter award.
03:24 She's got some credentials, partner.
03:28 Nobody following up as Robido stops that run.
03:34 - And Robido, take a look at the screen play,
03:37 another eight-quick attack.
03:39 And she's actually not avoiding the blocker,
03:41 she's just power-tipping that one.
03:44 - With a strong front row, with Bella Belen,
03:48 Solomon and Turing.
03:50 Coronel to Robido!
03:52 (whistle)
03:54 (crowd cheering)
03:56 - That exact play and Robido gets that one in.
04:01 (whistle)
04:05 - 17.
04:05 - That's what Lasal wants.
04:07 And you're right, partner, what has dictated here
04:10 is the start of each set.
04:12 - That's true.
04:13 (crowd cheering)
04:14 - Robido!
04:15 - Over, saved.
04:22 Belen will go for it.
04:26 The chase, Sorenio.
04:28 The dig by Bombita.
04:31 Belen again, denied!
04:33 (crowd cheering)
04:36 - Stopped block there coming from Robido.
04:42 Belen trying to avoid the blocker,
04:44 trying to go close, but Robido.
04:47 Just right on time to get the block.
