00:00their team works so now they have a chance to peak here in the second round precisely so again
00:06first time in ncaa history to have a second round in our volleyball competition and from what we've
00:13seen with the other sports and tournaments the merong second round iba ang labanan dito kasi
00:20syempre meron ka ng blueprint kung paano maglaro yung mga teams meron ka ng tape so you prepare
00:26for them a little bit better and eac well it starts off very well here picking up from where
00:33they left off against the lady coordinates diana starting it off with a down the line hit
00:41and this is a good sign gaira for eac you know confidence boosting point against the defending
00:48champions si durog ang maglilibero ngayon para sa lady blazers i just saw her enter
00:55razonable with the drop this is going to be saved dancing for mento over to the other side razonable
01:05then sing again catching the spot at the back getting that corner pocket then saying
01:11dust knows where to put that ball 15 points in the previous game next generation for the lady blazers
01:20and this is a great transition para dito sa benilda no you got formidable players rookies but
01:28they're playing like they are veterans that they've been here for a few years already
01:41so when our agency is doing that just now
02:04and we need it in front of us that we just see how the glad and being
04:08It's reasonable.
04:10On deck to serve.
04:12And also with coach Rod Palmero, he's been with the team for so long.
04:18Yeah.
04:19Where he's starting to harvest, of course, what he was training in the past years.
04:27Because I think before, Gaira, they're really missing in EAC, of course.
04:33And that's enough firepower to sustain them in games.
04:38Because floor defense, they were very good.
04:39But their firepower, you know, the number of spikers that can do and spike and score consistently until the very end.
04:48And that's what we've been talking about last season as well.
04:52And we're telling them, they're just going to be fast on the court.
04:54And they can't convert it into a point.
04:57But look at Benilde, they're just trying to catch up with EAC.
05:00And we saw this against JR Ulysses, attacking from behind.
05:09So Benilde is down by just a point here.
05:12Ayodin Singh.
05:12That's a good pass to Formento.
05:17Little drop, doesn't work.
05:19Basilio sending it to the back row again.
05:22Formento.
05:24Dayanan.
05:25And Dayanan scores.
05:28EAC retaliates.
05:30Dayanan with a great smargen going for Dinsing.
05:35How about EAC?
05:37Toe to toe with the Lady Blazers here.
05:39And, you know, despite it being against the first-year players of Benilde,
05:50this is the system of Lady Blazers.
05:52If you have any of them, as long as the system is there,
05:56as long as the skill work and the work rate is the same,
06:02you're still going to get the same quality of play on the court.
06:07So, if you're going to play it, whether it's the player of Benilde,
06:10it has to boost your confidence a little bit on the court.
06:14Well, that's thanks to Coach Jerry Yee and Coach Onyok Getigan.
06:17They've been working hand-in-hand for a long time with these players with the same system.
06:22So, a lot of players have graduated.
06:24And they trust what their players can do, first six or second six again.
06:29That's Coach Onyok and consultant Jerry Yee on your screens right now.
06:36Rea Magalona activated at the middle.
06:40So, and for Mento with some variations here on offense early on.
06:45Seven to five dayo.
06:47Easy pa rin ang abante.
06:49Yeses will rise.
06:50For Mento with the underhand setup.
06:52Pero, it's another set for Dayanan.
06:55That goes outside.
06:57That was actually too high for Dayanan.
06:59You can see that she waited before going for that spike.
07:03So, it was quite a miss hit as well.
07:06I was puzzled why Rea did get it done.
07:08She's the one who's already done.
07:10So, that's a nice serve.
07:15Over-received.
07:16But for Mento with quick reflexes.
07:19Jaja Villana.
07:21Left-handed save.
07:22Yeses on the approach.
07:23Good touch on that block.
07:25For Mento.
07:27Over to the other side.
07:28Drop ball.
07:29Off speed.
07:29Not gonna work.
07:31Alex AAC for Mento.
07:33Tracks it down.
07:34Ito now, si Dayanan.
07:35Pumuntos yan kanina dyan.
07:38Back row hit for Densing.
07:41They go back to Botonal here.
07:43Who is denied.
07:44Good read by Benil's blockers.
07:47Longest rally so far.
07:50Yeses.
07:51Checked.
07:52Block by the blockers.
07:54Good timing by Dayanan and Villana.
07:56But no coverage coming from Benil.
07:59Let's go to our technical timeout.
08:01EAC ahead by two.
08:02By love by the Lady Raider.
08:054, 3, 6.
08:14Kilalang-kilala ngayon si Carlos Yulo sa kanyang double gold sa Paris.
08:19Pero alam nyo ba na mayroon ng naunang Carlos na naglaro sa Olympics na tubong NCAA?
08:24Siya'y walang iba kundi si Carlos Caloy Loizaga na nagpa-champion sa San Beda Red Lions ng tatlong beses noong 1950s.
08:32Lumahok si Loizaga ng dalawang beses sa Olympics.
08:34Sa ating laban, EAC against Mapua.
08:38Well, we weren't exactly surprised na nanahali yung EAC.
08:42Because they've been showing some improvements this year.
08:45We were more surprised by the way they did it.
08:49They swept Mapua who was 7-2 coming in.
08:51Also, with 37 spikes, you can see the choice of reason.
08:57Number 18, Alex Razonable just hitting it off.
09:01And like we said, she's the reason why EAC won in this match versus Mapua.
09:06She has 15 points off of 13 attacks and 2 blocks.
09:12The choice of reason with a Z.
09:15Alex Razonable with 15 markers.
09:18Oh, that's a good dig.
09:20Back row hit.
09:21Off-speed ang pinili doon ni Budonal.
09:25Liases.
09:26For Mento.
09:27Goes to Villera at the middle.
09:31EAC showing composure here early in the first set.
09:36And you can see how Villera has been struggling just reading how EAC moves.
09:44But from the blocking to the defense, EAC is doing everything.
09:47And for Mento, I credit the play of EAC right now to their setter in And for Mento, who is pushing the right buttons, choosing the right players, and mixing up the offense to make it more unpredictable.
10:05And Dangan is now in for Benilde.
10:08Oh, Christy doesn't waste time, scores right away.
10:13Right on cue, fresh from the bench.
10:17One of the vets of this Benilde team, Christy Ondangan.
10:20And good play as well for Benilde.
10:25Because, even if it was misreceive, Undangan was still giving it a high ball.
10:31Dayanan, inangguluhan, went down the line, challenging Getigan.
10:36Dayanan with her favorite hit.
10:40She's been going down the line here in the first set.
10:43Also, we have to take note that there has been a substitution as well for Benilde.
10:48Yeah.
10:50So...
10:51We have Basarte who came in for Basilio.
10:53So, coach Onyok is going to turn on the descarte here.
10:58That's Ondangan sending it outside.
11:0111-7 lead.
11:03Biggest so far for the Lady Generals.
11:09EAC continues to surprise everybody.
11:13And what I'm loving about EAC is that although right now they're at the bottom of the ranks,
11:18they're not playing like it, and how they're presenting themselves is not like that as well.
11:24It's like, it's very normal for them today.
11:28It's like, it's just usual.
11:31We're playing this way, it's longer.
11:32Exactly.
11:34Good save, although that goes out.
11:36So, yes, this stops the bleeding for the Lady Blazers.
11:42That's a much-needed point for Benilde here.
11:44To end that EAC mini-run.
11:49A-2-11 is the tally.
11:51It's the Lieses.
11:53Manggagaling naman she's at the front now.
11:58For Mento.
11:59Villena.
12:00Oh, tiding it to the right side.
12:06So, now...
12:09Look at Jaja Villena.
12:10...read the defense first before she made the decision.
12:16Oh, these are...
12:17It's Georgina Lut.
12:19Right there alongside other EAC players who are not suited up today.
12:26Oh, Densing.
12:27But that is dug up.
12:30Podonal from the back.
12:32Basarte over to Lieses this time.
12:36And the block goes out, and that's a point for her.
12:38Yes, it's going off the blockers.
12:44And you can see right now for Benilde,
12:46they're much more in system with Basarte coming in.
12:52She's the more experienced setter.
12:57That's Ondangan committing the service error.
12:59This is...
13:03This is...
13:04Zak Nolasco.
13:06Checking in for the first time.
13:08It's going to be back, Badion.
13:11So,
13:12unty-unty.
13:14Coach Gitigan,
13:16his veterans.
13:17What we're loving about the NCAA season 100 is that we have a challenge system here.
13:23Does she, or does he insert Maikago, and Huewe Stoke, Katarig as well, Padonal overcooks it, oh, the AC is looking for a check, so they will challenge.
13:39What we're loving about the NCAA Season 100 is that we have a challenge system here, even during the elimination round.
13:49And the EAC, they were sure of that, you know, they were certain, because they were celebrating after the attack, immediately after, they celebrated the point, so they thought that the referee saw it, but let's see, block touch.
14:07But how impressed are you so far of the EAC Lady Generals, Kaira?
14:10Well, I've been saying it time and time again in this match, grabe yung pinapakita nilang energy, and also they're playing like veterans, even though they're in the low ranks right now, they're not playing like it.
14:23It seems like they're in the top five, how much they want this match. No jitters at all.
14:30They are 3-7, itong EAC Lady Generals, but again, this is much improved play coming from them.
14:42Parang, ano, nakabuti talaga sa kanila yung huli week, ano.
14:46Yes, good break.
14:47Yeah, good break, got some clarity, was able to rest and reflect, and now they're looking like a revitalized team.
14:58And usually, ito'y napapansin din natin as we see the Lady Generals here.
15:03They have reason to celebrate, at least here in set number one.
15:08First round, you know, we didn't have the cameras, the lights, of course the external factors as we see this call here.
15:16Tiga natin muna kung ano yung magiging tawag dito.
15:18Ooh!
15:20Yeah.
15:22Pinky and Middlefinger.
15:24So, EAC will score the point and establish their biggest lead.
15:34Mike Cago.
15:37That was a good eye by EAC.
15:41So, Mike Cago coming in for the first time.
15:44Graduating player for the Lady Blazers.
15:47Nadapat parte ng batch nila, Kloan, Pascual, and Hentapa, and Mitch Gamit.
15:56But, you know, she spent a year recovering from an ACL tear.
16:01Alex Razunable unleashes an ace.
16:05Just perfect form for the EAC Lady Generals with their targets, their game plan.
16:11Everything is just working out for this team.
16:14Wow!
16:1615 to 9.
16:19Razunable.
16:22Again, loaded serves, yeah.
16:24Densing puts it down.
16:27Densing answering with a loaded spike of her own going down the line for Benil.
16:32That's the right swing.
16:36Right decision for Aya Densing.
16:40I need more of that from her.
16:42As in, be able to find the consistency, at least here in the first.
16:47Bodonal, two low.
16:48Attack, header.
16:49Could not put that one over.
16:52Too controlled.
16:54So, two quick ones for the Lady Blazers here.
16:57As Bodonal commits the attack, header.
16:5915.
17:0015.
17:01Oh, it's too high.
17:03But we're seeing a lot of veterans now for Benil.
17:05So, this is their chance to tie things up with EAC and get the first set if they can.
17:10Whoa!
17:11And for Merto.
17:14Yeah, taking the gamble and the 1-2 play.
17:17And we reach our second technical timeout with EAC.
17:22High by five.
17:301-2 play.
17:442-1.
17:551-2 play.
17:56Welcome back to our fight, NCAA Season 100.
18:01And if you are in your running era, please join us tomorrow, April 27, Sunday,
18:08the NCAA Centennial Fun Run happening at Ross Boulevard.
18:13Okay, for those who are willing to come,
18:14there are my race kits available in the sports office of NCAA member schools.
18:20And I think the main organizer of this fun run is Dr. Lorenzo Lorenzo,
18:24who is a runner himself.
18:27So, yeah, he's from EAC.
18:29He is with his son right now, of course, always watching here, especially on weekends.
18:35Well, I know someone who would be very excited to join that.
18:39You!
18:40We're only the host.
18:42We're only the host.
18:45Meantime!
18:48Oh, EAC with a six-point lead.
18:51This will be challenged by Benilde.
18:54So, block-touch challenge this time.
18:59But EAC is saying that they did touch that ball.
19:02Ah, it's been announced.
19:03And you know what?
19:03This is good also that you're honest during the match
19:06because sometimes the challenge takes a while for it to be shown.
19:11So, for them not to lose momentum, it's been announced.
19:15That's how it's Rhea Magalona admitting to touching the ball.
19:23It's reasonable.
19:26Good first ball.
19:27Dayanan.
19:29Basarte choosing.
19:30No, Lasco again.
19:31Back-to-back points.
19:32First up to Lasco.
19:33No, no, Lasco.
19:35It's right.
19:36Good play by Benilde.
19:37And what's different now is they're backing on their middle blockers.
19:42Not for that zero tempo or eight-quick attack,
19:44but for those higher sets, which has been working well for them.
19:48Yeah, it's not your...
19:50You're right.
19:50Not zero tempo or quicks.
19:52No, Lasco again, this time tips it.
20:04Nice save.
20:05Back row hit.
20:07Easy up.
20:08No, Lasco again.
20:09Overshoots it this time.
20:12No, Lasco's already under that ball.
20:15Quite a flat ball as well.
20:17Sending it out.
20:17And even the mistakes, we don't see this usually from Benilde.
20:22It's a very different squad we're seeing here, actually, in the first set.
20:2817 to 13.
20:30Let's see if there's a pass here.
20:33Oh, sobra!
20:33She received, but Basarte was alert at the net.
20:38Nay, Basarte, you can't count her out,
20:41especially if she's in the front row.
20:43She's still an attacking setter.
20:45Look at that form.
20:46She's still an attacking setter.
20:48She's still an attacking setter.
20:49Now she's going to be the primary setter.
20:52She's been playing behind Luan Mundo-Nedo all of those years.
20:58Sam Nolasco commits the error.
21:01And again, un-correctedistic for Benilde.
21:04You know what?
21:05Benilde has been trying to gain momentum,
21:08but they're breaking it on their own as well because of those errors.
21:12So it's back to a four-point lead.
21:14And here's Bodonal.
21:17Again, EAC loaded.
21:20Yung mga pinapakawalan na serve.
21:22Ondangan.
21:24Not gonna work.
21:25Here's Villana with a strong push.
21:29Back row hit.
21:30Oh!
21:30Let's watch on the EAC, Lady Generals.
21:35This will be an error on EAC.
21:42Now, here's an opening for the Lady Blazers.
21:47Let's see if they can take advantage.
21:50Basarte.
21:51Formento.
21:54Razonable.
21:55Pumalik sa nila.
21:57And back set this time.
21:59Tayanan had to adjust.
22:00And comes up short.
22:03Tayanan had a hard time putting that ball over.
22:06It was too high.
22:07Sa Coach Rod.
22:10Calling the timeout.
22:12Timeout by EAC.
22:13Kailangan kumamit kayo ng mga atake na yung iba.
22:17Huwag tayo lang yung ganun.
22:18Huwag tayo mag-hesitate.
22:20Tawin natin.
22:21Tingnan muna natin yung pasa.
22:22Para nga yung babagsakad.
22:23Hindi natin yung tao kung sino nasa harapan.
22:26Okay?
22:26Kapag yung Basarte nasa iba-abao,
22:29try nyo dalhin sa down.
22:31Ha?
22:31Okay?
22:33Pasa muna tayo.
22:34Pasa muna tayo ngayon si Basarte.
22:45She's gonna serve.
22:48Good game plan by Coach Rod.
22:50But then again,
22:52yeah, like you said,
22:53na service area na.
22:54Basarte.
22:54Tong si Basarte.
22:55But that would be a good target earlier before that timeout.
22:59Kasi si yung mas maliit na blocker sa harap.
23:01Cross court hit.
23:02Doesn't work for Dayanan.
23:06This is tracked down by Formento.
23:08Razunable scores!
23:11And a good choice of reason for EAC.
23:16Look at that target going for goal six.
23:20And again,
23:22EAC
23:22staying composed
23:25here in the first set.
23:27But you know what, Martin?
23:29What I've been seeing in this match
23:30is the battle of defense as well.
23:32EAC is just
23:33having their...
23:35Well, it's their usual defense
23:36as mentioned.
23:38But Benilde is having a hard time
23:40reading the attacks of EAC.
23:42That's right.
23:43So,
23:44yung magandang floor dinang
23:45in EAC
23:47is being complemented now
23:48with good playmaking
23:49and
23:50great attacks.
23:54Benilde will
23:55challenge again.
23:58This will be challenged.
24:00So, challenge on the block dodge.
24:01Challenge addressed by the Benilde
24:03Baby Blazers block dodge.
24:05Teka,
24:05aamin ba ang EAC?
24:07Admission of fall.
24:08Umamin sila ulit.
24:11Well, good for EAC.
24:13They're still trying to hold on
24:14to that momentum
24:15timeout
24:16by Benilde.
24:17So, ito,
24:18Coach Jerry.
24:18So, dalawang beses,
24:30dalawang sunod,
24:31umamin
24:32itong EAC
24:33para hindi maputol
24:34yung momentum nila.
24:36Kaira.
24:37So, it's 17 to 19.
24:39Pero,
24:41ang tricky lang dito
24:42sa sequence natin.
24:44Ito,
24:44maimout pa rin si Coach Jerry
24:45for us to
24:46be forced to a stop.
24:48pitch in the match.
24:50Well, of course,
24:51he would want to
24:52just instruct his players
24:54to get back on the court,
24:55follow the system.
24:57Pero ngayon,
24:57nagsi-stroggle
24:58itong Benilde
24:59to actually
25:00find
25:01their usual system.
25:03Taikago
25:04at the service line.
25:05Sharp serve.
25:07For Mento,
25:08underhand set up
25:09for Razunable.
25:10Oh!
25:12And Alex Razunable
25:13continues to roll.
25:18Everything is working out well
25:20for the EAC Lady Generals.
25:23The Lady Generals.
25:24Miscommunication happening
25:25on the floor defense
25:27of Benilde as well.
25:29She has been
25:30the clear ace player
25:32of this EAC team.
25:33Jaja Villena.
25:37Basarte.
25:37Two on Dangan.
25:38Two strong again.
25:4221 to 17.
25:46Oh!
25:47So EAC actually
25:51admitted to it
25:52that he had a touch, right?
25:54They've been very honest
25:55in this match.
25:57Team Honest.
25:58Itong EAC.
26:00All right.
26:01So it's Benilde
26:01who gets the point.
26:02On Dangan
26:03gets another one.
26:05Sharp serve.
26:08Razunable.
26:09Even
26:09while moving sideways.
26:12Oh!
26:12It's Razunable.
26:13Going through the blockers,
26:15you can see how
26:16EAC is well-prepared
26:18for this match
26:19down the line
26:20on Denseng's head.
26:22And I like her.
26:24You know,
26:24she has that unusual
26:26style of jumping.
26:28Because she's still
26:28and she's still
26:29and she's still
26:30but
26:31she's comfortable.
26:33And she reads
26:34those blockers
26:35and the defense
26:36of the other side
26:37in order to get the points.
26:39Denseng!
26:41Denseng on the other hand
26:42bringing in firepower
26:44for the Lady Blazers.
26:50Here we go.
26:51This is set number one.
26:53Ayah Denseng
26:53delivers.
26:5621-19.
26:59You have Basarta
27:00in the front row right now
27:01where Coach Rod
27:02was saying
27:03his instruction.
27:05Ooh!
27:06A strong tip
27:07for Zamganasco.
27:10It is down to one.
27:14Good target by Nolasco.
27:20Miscommunication
27:21on the defense
27:21by EAC.
27:23Alimen
27:23comes in
27:24for the first time
27:25replacing
27:26her buddy.
27:27Itong si Erica Budonal.
27:31Sharp serve again.
27:32But good pass.
27:34Ito na si Alimen.
27:34She is
27:35blocked.
27:36Red
27:36at the Nets.
27:3821-all.
27:40And Benilde
27:41is finding
27:41her footing
27:42here in the first set.
27:44You can see
27:45the defending champions
27:46are back.
27:49Ito na.
27:49Nagising na.
27:50With the entrance
27:51of the veteran players.
27:54Benilde
27:54comes alive here
27:55for Mento.
27:59Back row hits.
28:00Goes outside.
28:02So Benilde
28:02will take the lead
28:04for the first time.
28:06Well, although
28:07EAC had
28:08a better start,
28:09we need
28:10a better finish
28:11for them
28:12if they want to win
28:13here in the first set.
28:14But you can see
28:15just this champion
28:16spirit
28:17of Benilde.
28:19They're used to
28:20being in these
28:21kinds of situations.
28:22No, Lasco
28:23with a soft touch.
28:24They go
28:25back line.
28:28Passate.
28:29Lieses
28:29puts it down.
28:31That is now
28:31a 5-0 run
28:33for the
28:34defending champions.
28:36Ashley Lieses
28:37just getting
28:37her confidence back.
28:40Timeout coach Rod.
28:41Sabi ko sa inyo
28:42situational yan eh.
28:43Magayon tumigil
28:44pag sa depensa.
28:45Expectain niyo
28:45yung mga bagay
28:46na alam niyong
28:47di ba?
28:48Biglang dadating sa atin.
28:49Kuha tayo nung
28:49kuha ng ball eh.
28:50Jing.
28:51Sino na sa ibabaw?
28:53Di ba sinabi ko
28:53siya dugout kanina?
28:54Sino na sa ibabaw?
28:56Huwag mo paluin
28:56sa malaki.
28:57Dinadala mo pa
28:57sa cross court yung
28:58gandun.
28:59Gamitin mo yung
29:00kamay nitong kabila.
29:01Huwag yung sab.
29:03And this was
29:09what we were
29:09saying earlier
29:11that
29:11but look at that
29:13spike from
29:13Ashley Lieses.
29:15What coach Rod
29:16was mentioning
29:17is that
29:17his open spiker
29:18should be targeting
29:19that down the line
29:21especially if
29:22you have
29:22Sine Bozarte
29:23in the front row
29:25kasi nga
29:25Sino Lasco
29:26ang bigger
29:27blocker here
29:29for Benilde
29:29so you can't
29:30just put the ball
29:31through her.
29:31That's right.
29:32Alimen again
29:33going down the line
29:35this time
29:35off the block.
29:36so quick response
29:39from Jim Alimen
29:40because the
29:42instructions
29:42during the timeout
29:44as you heard
29:44were directly
29:46for her.
29:48Alimen is actually
29:49if I'm not mistaken
29:50she was an
29:51FEU graduate
29:52in high school
29:53so this is the
29:55firepower that
29:56they recruited
29:56for EAC.
29:59So 22-23
30:00Oh
30:01Zam
30:02Nolasco
30:03very hard
30:05to stop
30:05towering over
30:06the nets

30:08for Benilde
30:09EAC
30:10with a good start
30:11Benilde
30:12with a better
30:12finish
30:13they're just
30:13one point away
30:14from taking
30:15this first set.
30:16Now

30:21veteran
30:22at the middle
30:23more veteran
30:24player that is
30:25Anformento

30:311-2
30:32doesn't drop
30:33here is
30:35Alimen
30:35that bounced
30:36off the net
30:36Nolasco

30:39the set
30:41Nolasco
30:42with that
30:42power to
