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
