00:00The tournaments that are in the second round are different from here because, of course, you have a blueprint on how to play the teams, you have a tape, so you prepare for them a little bit better.
00:12And EAC, well, starts off very well here, picking up from where they left off against the Lady Coordinates.
00:20Dayanan starting it off with a down the line hit.
00:23Attacking from behind, so Benilde is down by just a point here.
00:27Aya Densing, that's a good pass to Formento, middle drop, doesn't work, Basilio sending it to the back row again.
00:39Formento, Dayanan, and Dayanan scores.
00:44EAC retaliates.
00:46Dayanan with a great target, going for Densing.
00:51About EAC, toe-to-toe with the Lady Blazers here.
00:57Formento.
00:59Mixing up the offense to make it more unpredictable.
01:04Ondangan is now in for Benilde.
01:07Oh, Christy doesn't waste time, scores right away.
01:11Right on cue, fresh from the bench.
01:15One of the vets of this Benilde team, Christy Ondangan.
01:18And good play as well for Benilde.
01:22And how they're presenting themselves is not like that as well.
01:26It's like, it's very normal for them today.
01:30It's like this one, right?
01:32It's just the usual.
01:34We're playing this way, it's been a long time.
01:35Exactly.
01:36Good save, although that goes out.
01:38Just perfect form for the EAC Lady Generals with their targets, their game plan.
02:00Everything is just working out for this team.
02:04Touching the ball.
02:07Razonable.
02:08Good first ball.
02:09Dayanan.
02:11Basarte choosing.
02:13No, Lasco again.
02:14Back-to-back points.
02:15First up, no, Lasco.
02:18Good play by Benilde.
02:20And what's different now is they're backing on their middle blockers.
02:24Not for that zero tempo or eight quick attacks, but for those higher sets.
02:28Which has been weird for Basarte, but that would be a good target earlier before that timeout.
02:33Because he's the smaller blocker at the front.
02:36Cross court hit.
02:37Doesn't work for Dayanan.
02:41This is tracked down by Formento.
02:43Razonable scores!
02:46And a good choice of reason for EAC.
02:51Look at that target going for throw six.
02:55And again.
02:57EAC.
02:58Staying composed.
03:00Alright, so it's Benilde who gets the point.
03:02Ondangan.
03:04Gets another one.
03:05Sharp serve.
03:08Razonable.
03:09Even while moving sideways.
03:12It's Razonable.
03:13Going through the blockers.
03:15You can see how EAC is well prepared for this match.
03:19Down the line on Denseng's hand.
03:21And I like her, you know, she has the Razonable.
03:25And she reads those blockers and the defense of the other side in order to get the points.
03:30Denseng!
03:31Denseng on the other hand, bringing in firepower for the Lady Blazers.
03:38And here we go.
03:39And here we go.
03:39And here we go.
03:41And here we go.
03:43This is set number one.
03:44And I didn't see.
03:45This champion spirit of Benilde.
03:50Oh, they're used to being in these kinds of situations.
03:53No Lasco with a soft touch.
03:56They go back line.
03:57Passate.
04:00Lieses puts it down.
04:02It is now a 5-0 run for the defending champions.
04:07Ash Lieses just getting her confidence back.
04:10This is the firepower that they recruited for EAC.
04:15So 22-23.
04:17Oh, Zam No Lasco.
04:20Very hard to stop.
04:22Towering over the net.
04:23Set point for Benilde.
04:25The EAC with a good start.
04:28Benilde with a better finish.
04:29They're just one point away from taking this first set.
04:32That's right.
04:33They're going to throw that.
04:34Now, with a more veteran at the middle.
04:40More veteran player that is.
04:42And for Mento.
04:44Alimen just hit it.
04:46Good control.
04:481-2.
04:48Doesn't drop.
04:50Here is Alimen that bounced off the net.
04:54No Lasco!
04:55It's the set.
04:58No Lasco with that power tip in the middle.
05:00Ends it for Benilde.
05:02Taking this win in the first set.
05:06But EAC just showing good things here in the first set as well.
05:11The Lady Blazers.
05:13Ending the first set on a 7-1 run.
05:183-1.
05:18Good dig by Micah.
05:25Nice intention.
05:29Here's the pop-up again.
05:32Basarte.
05:33Combination play for Katarig.
05:35What a play.
05:36Basarte going to Katarig in that A-quick by No Lasco.
05:42And a 3-play from Katarig.
05:45And I love that full commitment decoy of Zam No Lasco.
05:50This is her former MVP.
05:52She's the one who wrote it.
05:55So it's good to see her really, you know, give her game.
06:02It's 100%.
06:04No Lasco giving her 100% at that.
06:09She's been really unstoppable in this match.
06:12Especially when she gained her confidence in that latter part of the first set.
06:16And she's been loving the high sets from Basarte.
06:19She'll be back here in the NCAA full-time.
06:21Because she was struggling in the previous seasons.
06:24Because she came from an injury.
06:26So right now, we hope to see her in her perfect form.
06:29That's former NCAA MVP, Maikako.
06:33As Tianan finally scores for the Navy Generals.
06:40And for Mento with a back set right here.
06:45And they need more of that.
06:46Serving now for EAC, Luria Magalhães.
06:48Talking about Maikako.
06:50Won the MVP before.
06:53Is a great all-around player.
06:55Especially defensively, no?
06:58She's just, well, the perfect player to have on your team.
07:04Binigay kay Baroga.
07:07Yun yun yun yun.
07:09Binitawan ko na nga kasi naka makuha pa din Shinin.
07:16I've seen Gaira shy away from an approaching ball.
07:22Meantime, 13-7 lead for Binil.
07:25Finding an opening.
07:30And we've been seeing a lot of sharp serves coming from Binil in this second set as well.
07:35Katarig.
07:36Oh, sent back by Villena.
07:40Go again.
07:41That's what's going on here, Basarte.
07:44Back row hit.
07:45Doesn't work.
07:46They go to Katarig who had no choice.
07:49But to make that push, Villena, nadaplisan lang.
07:52One-two play.
07:54Ondangan.
07:55Very alert with that ball.
07:58Christy Ondangan.
08:00And that's the one-two play.
08:03That you can't stop.
08:06Kasi ang tangkal nung gumawa.
08:08Tapos ang lakas pa nung pagkakapalo.
08:10Oh, this one went to the net.
08:15Good reflexes coming from Fermento.
08:18Pero buhay pa to.
08:20They tried the combination.
08:22Wasn't able to execute.
08:23Katarig.
08:26It's time they choose Podonal.
08:29She gets the check.
08:30Yes, she does.
08:31EAC trying to climb up here in the scores.
08:38But you don't know who to choose.
08:41Oh, it's like a hard time.
08:42Running hit for Ondangan.
08:45One more time for Christy.
08:47Bodonal.
08:49Manalona.
08:50Or that's Dayana's mother.
08:52With a clean hit.
08:54Dayana.
08:55And earlier, we've been seeing a lot of down-the-line attacks.
08:58But look at her powering through those blockers
09:00with a cross-court attack.
09:03Recognizing that the blockers were
09:05just a second late
09:06on that convergence.
09:11So,
09:12Podonal unleashing.
09:14Good serve.
09:16Good save by Basarte.
09:17Yeah.
09:19Drop ball.
09:21He's not going to win.
09:22That's a chance now for EAC.
09:25Here's the setup
09:26for Mento.
09:28They go back to Dayana.
09:29who finally scores.
09:33Here's the EAC Lady Generals.
09:37The timeout
09:38for the
09:39CSB Lady Blazers.
09:42Dayana
09:43bringing EAC back here.
09:45Timeout by the Lady Blazers.
09:47Timing.
09:48Good block.
09:50And the press
09:51on her hands also.
09:53Straight to the floor.
09:537 points
09:56to the Abante
09:56of Benilde.
09:57Razonable.
09:58Through the blockers
09:59this time.
10:01And this is the
10:02point of Benilde
10:03in their defense.
10:05That would be
10:05zone 6.
10:08Villiana.
10:10Basarte.
10:12Ken Singh.
10:13Let's see.
10:14We're going to do
10:14EAC.
10:16Here's the cover.
10:17Maika
10:17going to the top.
10:19Oh!
10:20Estoke raises
10:21and scores.
10:23From the bench
10:24when she's called
10:25she delivers.
10:28Talk about
10:29vastly improving
10:31here in the NCAA.
10:33She wasn't like this
10:34when she first entered.
10:35But Estoke
10:36of course
10:37learned from
10:38the seniors.
10:40Now it's her turn
10:41and she's
10:42showing so much promise.
10:44And we've been
10:45covering these ladies
10:46for years
10:47Martin
10:48and we can see
10:49how they were
10:51during their rookie years
10:52and now
10:53they're playing
10:54as veterans.
10:57And one of them
10:58Zamno Lasco
10:59reaches
10:5910 points
11:01reaches
11:02double 50
11:02but she went for it
11:04and she got it done.
11:06So Aydan Singh
11:07now
11:07first double-digit lead
11:09of the match.
11:12Razonable.
11:13Get Eagan.
11:15Gets it.
11:16Oh!
11:17Simple and simple
11:18for Nolasco.
11:20Good eye
11:20by Nolasco
11:21going for that
11:22drop ball
11:23just behind
11:24and beside
11:25those blockers.
11:27The libero
11:28of EAC
11:28did not get there
11:30in time.
11:31Time out
11:32by Coach Rod.
11:34They're already
11:35here.
11:36You need to have
11:38a better technique
11:39when doing that
11:40especially
11:40Benil.
11:41They're veteran players.
11:42They've been
11:43through a lot
11:45as well as
11:45defending champions.
11:46They also see
11:46the movement
11:47of EAC.
11:50That's right.
11:52ESTOKE.
11:54EAC has yet
11:55to stop
11:56where we're
11:58STOKE
11:58in this match.
11:59They go to
12:00Nolasco.
12:00another unstoppable
12:05player
12:05for Benilde.
12:08And it is
12:08set point
12:09for the defending
12:10champions.
12:11This time
12:12the running
12:13hit
12:13by ZAM
12:14Nolasco.
12:1712 points
12:18in the match.
12:18body language
12:20of EAC
12:21at the beginning
12:22of our fight.
12:25But they're not
12:25going to return
12:26that again.
12:27For Mento
12:28over to Razunable.
12:31Oh,
12:31Razunable scores!
12:34So they're on the board
12:35here in the third.
12:39Alex Razunable
12:40who was silent
12:42in set number two
12:44gets back on track.
12:47And for EAC
12:48of course,
12:49if you're just here
12:50on the early
12:51part of this set,
12:53you also want to
12:53run away
12:54so that the score
12:54won't get too far
12:56and you won't
12:57get too hard
12:57to get out.
12:59And that's right.
13:01That's what they did
13:02in the first set.
13:04They had a few aces
13:05in set number one.
13:07He's also lost.
13:09That's always the risk.
13:11You know,
13:12if you unleash
13:13loaded serves.
13:14High risk,
13:15high reward.
13:15High risk,
13:16high reward.
13:17Estoque.
13:19Difficult.
13:19Pass to for Mento.
13:22Here's Basarte.
13:23Down the middle.
13:24That's Zamno Lasco.
13:26Again,
13:27making it look easy.
13:31Grabe,
13:32Unstoppable here.
13:35He's been the go-to player
13:37for Benil.
13:38Usually,
13:39that's been spikers.
13:40But with Basarte,
13:41even though it's not
13:42the perfect pass,
13:43he'll give it to
13:44the middles.
13:46Strong push from behind.
13:48Not gonna drop.
13:50For Mento tracks it down.
13:52This time,
13:52choosing Dayanan.
13:54And then,
13:54Tegan.
13:55Cancache save.
13:56Lefty push.
13:57Doesn't work.
13:59Both teams making
14:00an effort here.
14:01But again,
14:02it ends with
14:03Zabno Lasco.
14:03Zabno Lasco.
14:04Zabno Lasco just blazing through
14:07for the Lady Blazers.
14:09Look at that running slide.
14:12Everything.
14:13Everything.
14:13The secondary setter
14:16of Coach Jerry
14:18and Coach Onyok.
14:19Zen Basilio.
14:21Also a taller setter
14:22on this squad.
14:24Nolasco.
14:27She's just
14:28taking in the reins
14:29for Benil.
14:31Doing so well
14:32in this match.
14:33And you can see
14:34Zabno Lasco.
14:35She's just
14:36crazy.
14:37That's a lot.
14:39Jaja Villena.
14:41I hope I didn't
14:42jinx it.
14:44Micah, go.
14:44Broadcaster's jinx.
14:45Oh, my.
14:47Back row hit.
14:49Here it is.
14:49Nolasco.
14:50Again.
14:51See?
14:52You didn't jinx
14:53anything, Martin.
14:54Good job.
14:55It's a guaranteed
14:56point for the Lady Blazers
14:58at least today
14:59whenever they go
15:00to Zam.
15:01With Zabno Lasco,
15:02she has good timing
15:04and also her speed
15:06as well as her jump.
15:08So,
15:08she really saw
15:09the butas
15:10of the other team
15:11in terms of defense.
15:13She has 17 points
15:14by the way.
15:1518-6 lead
15:16now for Benilde.
15:18Badly needed one
15:19for Razunable.
15:22With Benilde,
15:24this is what
15:24they have been struggling
15:25to.
15:26To seven.
15:27Long climb
15:28for EAC.
15:32Tipped up and over
15:33and in part
15:34by Micah, go.
15:35And the former MVP
15:36is back.
15:37She just knows
15:38where to put that ball
15:39of veteran
15:40for the Benilde
15:41late Blazers.
15:42Just needed
15:43to do a quick scan.
15:45And you were
15:46to place the ball.
15:47Micah, go.
15:48Excellent game
15:49for her.
15:52Second and third set.
15:55They're not
15:56able to do it
15:56here at Lady Blazers.
15:59Razunable!
16:00Better hit
16:02from Alex.
16:04And she wasn't
16:05afraid of the blockers
16:06during that time.
16:07Talagang
16:08dila you niya lang
16:10yung bola.
16:11Now serving,

16:15in between
16:17Kitigan
16:18and the
16:18Spygrin.
16:21But they have to
16:22control their emotions.
16:23Adrenaline is up.
