00:00 That's right and Mayang Nike also has grown so much this season.
00:05 She was originally a middle blocker, became an opposite, an open, and now back to a middle
00:10 blocker, her most comfortable position.
00:13 As we get back to this game, Haboneta is denied.
00:16 That was a good read by the Adamson Lady Falcons as an amazing defensive team and they read
00:24 that hit very well.
00:26 So blocking so far the Lady Falcons, Haboneta will serve.
00:32 Alcantara.
00:34 They give this one to Itang, Babalik sayupi.
00:40 Bustrillo fires one.
00:43 Angge, a little too late on that one for Nike as we turn it over to Edda Reguido of Adamson.
00:52 Their leader will be on deck to serve for the Fighting Maroons.
00:57 Bumps it.
00:59 Magsumbol, quick one to Salis, Babalik sayupi.
01:04 Chance here for Adamson, good dig.
01:08 Hamili again as we turn it over this time to Carla Ilizaga of UP Adamson leading the
01:14 way for them here.
01:16 Much like what happened in the previous match.
01:18 Given that they're not initially starters and now they're a new addition to the first
01:23 six, they have really proven that they deserve that spot.
01:26 Exactly, I mean it takes a lot of guts, a lot of courage and a lot of trust to lead the team.
01:31 But what about this play from Adamson?
01:36 UP, they were not ready for that one.
01:39 Has been orchestrating the plays for the Fighting Maroons.
01:44 Has done a good job as well.
01:47 What a swing from UP.
01:49 I mean what can we expect from the second best blocking team from Lina and Ica?
01:55 The spikers of the UP Fighting Maroons doing an excellent job in reading the attacks of
02:00 the Adamson ladies out there.
02:02 Very impressive numbers for a rookie libero.
02:06 Itang!
02:07 Up top, down low.
02:09 That was an amazing hit.
02:11 Very practicing during trainings.
02:14 It's quite difficult and overwhelming because when you're inside of the court, as you mentioned,
02:19 you're really thinking a lot.
02:21 So as Coach Oliver put it, you know, one point at a time, you have to focus and stay in the
02:26 present moment.
02:28 More than anything, I think it's about staying disciplined.
02:30 Yes.
02:31 Staying focused when you're on the court.
02:33 But right now, Adamson.
02:34 Aznica Celis will serve.
02:37 Acantara with a one-two play.
02:40 Seems to be working for them.
02:45 Seventeen serving twenty-four.
02:48 Acantara to Bascon.
02:50 Blocked.
02:51 Tries the other side.
02:54 Too late for Yesa as Adamson with seventeen.
02:58 Let's take a look at this first.
03:01 Great set as well.
03:05 Barely hitting the hinge.
03:08 Mayang Nike serving.
03:10 Murtaira two.
03:12 Magsambol.
03:15 And that was Encarnacion going down the line as we check in with Carla and Azana.
03:20 She gets from her atas like Ira and Jewel who are also her former teammates in high school.
03:25 It is only her first year but heart has indeed grown so much that Coach Oh calls her the most
03:31 improved player on the team thus far.
03:34 We'll wrap into that as Coach asks for more aggression and communication.
03:38 The fifth best server in the league right now.
03:46 As we get back to this game.
03:52 Smart play from Itang.
03:54 A little bit of a scramble on the side of the Lady Falcons.
03:58 And always moving around too, right?
04:01 Athletes have strong laterals.
04:04 Here comes Barbie Hamili.
04:05 Blocked.
04:06 And so far UP having a great start to their second set as we turn it over to Ella Reguto.
04:12 When I asked her what was her motivation for today's game she said it was definitely her teammates.
04:17 Because she said she wants to fight their team especially their remaining games.

04:30 Now back to the panel.
04:32 She's only averaged 3.4 points per game.
04:38 And right now she has three of her own and the charge continues for the Fighting Maroons.
04:45 Mika Kabasak serving.
04:51 Hamili with a hammer.
04:54 That was a beautiful hit by Barbie Hamili.
04:57 That's one of the most challenging things to look out for as blockers.
05:01 Now where is this spiker going to put the ball?
05:05 Take a look at Verde Floor.
05:08 Great court sense for her.
05:12 She is the first best digger in this season.
05:16 And so far she feels so good for the Lady Falcons.
05:23 Heart to Kabasak denied.
05:28 Here's the other side, Monares.
05:32 Oh they pop it up, it's alive and they send it over.
05:36 Heart.
05:40 What a great dig from Capistrano.
05:42 Another rally we have here, Red Pascon.
05:45 It is inside for Red Pascon.
05:50 And she did not give up on that play too.
05:53 Credit both teams for the hustle that they're showing.
05:56 Two point ball game.
05:59 And Hamili, ducked a little bit.
06:03 Six attack points for Pascon.
06:08 That was Heart.
06:11 That was Encarnacion with a push, bump set.
06:14 Babalik sa Adamson, denied by the second best blocking team in the league.
06:21 Excellent blockers on the side of the UP fighting Maroons.
06:24 No entry says UP.
06:26 Hamili though will try again.
06:30 Buhay pa rin ang bola, Babalik sa Adamson.
06:38 There's going to be a net touch violation call.
06:41 That's going to be Monares.
06:45 Alcantara.
06:49 Adolfo gives Adamson their second point.
06:53 In today's game, well, Billy and Heavy, it may have been a slow start for the Lady Falcons during the second set.
06:59 But they were able to show that they can do more by keeping up with.
07:03 Adamson would be key here in the third.
07:08 Ducked.
07:11 Chance for Adamson.
07:17 Cenes is blocked.
07:20 Itang to Monares.
07:24 Pascon.
07:26 Ball is still alive.
07:27 Pascon again.
07:32 Seems like on the side of the UP fighting Maroons, they were--
07:36 And right now, we are 8-all here in our third set.
07:41 Magsumbol to Celis.
07:44 As Yunduk.
07:47 And the blocking is good.
07:51 Nasobrahan lang yung agaw ni Karen.
07:55 That cost them the point.
07:58 They're blocking from UP.
08:00 And we love to see the enthusiasm.
08:03 Nike.
08:06 Magsumbol to Cabasa.
08:10 Kirsten Cabasa just powering through the blockers.
08:14 Effective here as well for Adamson.
08:17 And she has become the go-to player for the White Shirts.
08:21 Exactly what we're seeing from her here in the past few games that they've had,
08:25 ever since she started to play, very big contributions from her.
08:31 She was hoping that would sail outside.
08:35 They were--they read Barbie really, really well.
08:38 You are a marked woman.
08:40 If you are going to be that go-to girl for any team, they're all going to watch out for you.
08:45 Monares.
08:46 Babalik sa UP.
08:49 Cabasa from the back.
08:52 Yunduk.
08:53 Pascon.
08:59 Yunduk waits for it.
09:00 Chance here for the Fighting Maroons.
09:03 Magsumbol to Monares goes cross.
09:07 Strong hit by Joan Monares.
09:10 As well as Adolfo for Huecos.
09:14 Alcantara to Hamili.
09:17 Good save from Capistrano.
09:23 We've got a rally here.
09:24 UP has the ball.
09:25 They go to Monares.
09:26 Single block.
09:29 The walkers of the Adamson Lady Falcons doing wonders for their--
09:34 Diego, sinaba yan talaga yung spiker ng UP.
09:39 The six-point lead.
09:42 And Nia Itagyan, she has been doing that since the first set.
09:47 It is 20 serving 24.
09:53 Encarnacion will end the third set.
09:59 UP fights back.
10:01 At pagtrabahuhan ang bawat puntos para manalo.
10:04 At the dugout earlier, Coach Ude also told me that the outcome of the game is up to the girls in the sense that if they want to win--
10:12 Very surprising because she did not score in their game against FDU after having scored 17 and 14 respectively against UE and UST.
10:23 Yes, and it gives you a different kind of motivation if you have, let's say, a bad game.
10:29 The next game you have to play, you put a little bit more pressure so you can regain that composure you once had.
10:37 Getting a point after coming off the bench should be a good sign for the Fighting Maroons.
10:43 Still a one-point lead.
10:45 Lalong Isip, blocked.
10:48 Lalong Isip, read this time by the blockers of the UP Fighting Maroons.
10:52 If it happens, it's okay. You just bounce back from it.
10:55 And we will see how they will bounce back.
10:57 Looks like they're going to do it right now.
10:59 Unfortunately, good defense from Adamson.
11:03 Oh, they were just looking at each other.
11:05 You can see that.
11:07 Yes, and it breaks the timing of the opposing team too, but in that case, it just fell a little bit short.
11:14 15.
11:17 The level of volleyball that we're watching right now between these two teams.
11:22 Postrillo.
11:26 Huegos.
11:32 Negoronike again, popped up by Yesha as Magsambol will find...
11:39 They try, step again, we got a rally going on here.
11:44 Barbie Hamili, not yet.
11:47 Chance for UP.
11:50 Hart, will go to Itang.
11:52 Buhay pa rin ang bola.
11:54 Hamili again!
11:56 Good coverage from Lalong Isip.
11:59 Hamili.
12:02 Hart, back set to Steph Postrillo.
12:05 Unsuccessful.
12:07 Huegos!
12:11 Aisho Huegos, finding the corner, goes long.
12:16 At this point, for both squads, it boils down to composure.
12:21 Hamili.
12:26 All guts!
12:29 As Vika Celis will be on deck to serve for the Fighting Maroons.
12:34 Villegas.
12:36 Magsambol back set to Postrillo.
12:42 That was a strong hit from Steph Postrillo.
12:44 Postrillo also has been leading them alongside Magsambol and Itang and Monares in this game.
12:52 Sharp one from Huegos as we send it over to Carla.
12:56 There's no room for errors and no room to give the other team the opportunity to build momentum.
13:03 Gotta start strong.
13:06 Here comes Adamson.
13:07 Lalong Isip challenging the blockers.
13:10 Capistrano, Magsambol, sends it over.
13:16 Magsambol, Magsambol, to Lalong Isip again.
13:23 No go for Monares.
13:27 That was a good read by the blockers of the Adamson Lady Packers.
13:31 We mentioned Ira Haboneta.
13:33 She has not seen action for quite a while in this game.
13:36 She's back now.
13:38 Lalong Isip blocked.
13:41 She'll try one more time, different approach.
13:44 Strong to play. That was read well.
13:50 Chance for Adamson.
13:52 Lalong Isip tries to go for the swipe.
13:58 Chance ball, Yuppie.
14:00 Itang with the hammer.
14:05 Very strong hit by Nwimya Itang.
14:08 On the side of the Yuppie Fighting Maroons, Steph Postrillo has been working wonders for her team.
14:13 She really has.
14:14 But what about Mayang Nike?
14:16 So far here in the fifth set, it is Nike versus Postrillo performances from these players on the court this whole season.
14:25 Alcantara.
14:27 And on!
14:29 Nwimya Itang.
14:30 You can't have plays like that when you're Yuppie.
14:35 You gotta be very, very careful if you're Adamson.
14:37 This is it.
14:39 Itang!
14:40 Not yet.
14:41 Alcantara will go to Barbie Hamili.
14:43 Blocked.
14:44 Alcantara will choose Barbie again.
14:47 They save it.
14:48 Kapisana asking for it, but they give it to Itang.
14:53 And that is a block.
14:56 Good luck!
