00:00As Coach Mayat said earlier, they're going to be aware of the pain of Gia's injury at the midsection.
00:08So we'll see if she'll be able to play today.
00:10But our game is underway.
00:13Second game of our Sunday doubleheader between EAC and Letran.
00:17And it is going to be Letran's first point in our first rally.
00:23But what we're seeing from Letran, they look very confident coming into this season.
00:28As well as very light, their energy nila sa loob ng court.
00:32Niturab on the service line for Letran.
00:35We mentioned 18 points for Jodell in their first game.
00:40Torriado almost getting that one but it goes back to EAC's side.
00:46Perez has been trying but hasn't been connecting.
00:50And that's another point for Letran via an attack error of EAC.
00:55What's unusual about Letran, but it's also a good thing.
00:59You have Nitura who's an opposite serving early here in the game.
01:03Usually you have opposite hitters coming in after a rotation for a full front line.
01:08But you have Estrellaire who's a very tall setter and a good blocker as well.
01:13And this is a 3-0 start for the Letran Lady Knights.
01:17You know, I'm happy that Shade is in the starting unit already for the Letran Lady Knights.
01:25Last year, he won the finals and really made a difference.
01:30Right?
01:30A lot of things and a lot of promise from this Letran team.
01:34Because the previous starting middle blocker, Royce Delacruz,
01:39of course, is going to do it now.
01:40Estrellaire, center over.
01:44Perez tries again.
01:46Estrellaire, Cuyen Martin, covered by Asunable.
01:51Perez.
01:52Good touch.
01:54The attacks of Perez has been checked.
01:56Sari from behind.
01:58It is kept up.
01:59Perez will try again.
02:01Silva tracks it down.
02:03And it is off the block.
02:064-0 start.
02:07Another point for Isar.
02:09You can see that Letran is such a solid unit.
02:12But that's all thanks to Silva as well.
02:15There's a lot of hard balls coming from EAC.
02:18But Silva is just giving those perfect passes time and time again for Letran, for Estrellaire.
02:23That's her back-to-back best libero.
02:26Here at NCAA, Laramie Silva.
02:29There she goes again.
02:30Oh, and last year, she was the runaway winner.
02:34As another point is scored by Letran.
02:38Ang ganda nung, as we see here, the reaction from Coach Mayeth.
02:43Ito yung buelo niya, Martin.
02:45Getting it off the block.
02:46Two blockers.
02:48Yung chinalings do ni Martin.
02:49So, so far, it is Letran making quick work of EAC.
02:59And it is largely because of their floor defense.
03:04Kasi magaganda yung mga atake ng EAC, Gaira.
03:07Pero hindi kasi naman na tayo.
03:09Because, like we mentioned earlier, very solid yung defense nitong Letran.
03:13So, EAC still can't get their first point.
03:19Backset for Natura.
03:20That's good.
03:22Silva.
03:23Underhand reverse set.
03:26And that's Yen Martin scoring again.
03:28And we're seeing a lot of variations from Letran as well, Martin, with that soft touch, getting that point.
03:33First time out of his career for Coach Kirk Ong.
04:03He actually mentioned the key to this set is mawala yung tension sa loob ng court.
04:20They're very tense and they're just moving so rigidly.
04:24And also, he talked about the defense na dapat yung bola dinadala sa gitna, hindi kung sansan.
04:29And that's what he actually focused on in their offseason.
04:32So, this is something we should see from EAC that they should approve.
04:37So, we'll see kung shake-off na nila yung jitters nila dito.
04:42Astoriado sends it back.
04:44De Andres.
04:45Razunable tracks it down.
04:47It is a chance ball in favor of Letran.
04:51Running attack.
04:52Still covered by Razunable, but nobody getting the second ball.
04:56So, Isar scores her third point in the opening moments.
05:01But Estrelliere giving that very fast running set to Isar.
05:07Good support from her end.
05:10And that's what you want about a tall setter.
05:13She's an attacking setter.
05:15So, she's at such an advantage for Letran.
05:17That's true.
05:17She is a threat when she is in the front line, most especially as Martin.
05:25This is De Andres.
05:27EAC still hasn't scored.
05:28One-two play.
05:30Will do it for them.
05:32First point for EAC in this set.
05:34Now, this is going to be the major change for EAC.
05:39And really a tall task for Mariel Deguilia.
05:44Because she's going to be the first time for Anformento.
05:47Anformento is a very long setter.
05:49Coach Rod Palmeiro.
05:51He was the head coach of EAC.
05:54So, this is a first-year player.
05:56Sophomore at school.
05:57First time here.
05:59As part of Team A.
06:00And she's starting.
06:03As Netura goes long on that hit.
06:06But although we've mentioned Coach Rod.
06:09He had a good run with EAC.
06:11But this is also an advantage for Coach Kirk right now.
06:14He has a freshman setter.
06:17And then it's also his first year in the team.
06:19So, he's really going to do the system.
06:21Or he's going to implement the system for this EAC spot.
06:25And Coach Kirk, that's one of his special things.
06:29As EAC scores the point.
06:32That's Toriado waiting at the net.
06:38Hold on.
06:38They're just the wet spot here.
06:40Because he's right in the middle of it.
06:42This is Laramie Silva.
06:45But this is encouraging for EAC.
06:48Three straight points.
06:51So, Angel Perez.
06:53This is from the EAC high school.
06:56That won bronze in the girls' division.
06:58In the volleyball fiesta.
07:01He was also named as the second best outside spiker.
07:04They deny.
07:06Yen Martin.
07:08Judel.
07:09Good defense from EAC.
07:12That's Dayana.
07:13Couldn't connect.
07:14Isar.
07:16Too strong.
07:17Isar was actually under that ball.
07:19So, he didn't control the target.
07:21But, you know what?
07:24We've been seeing great connection with her and Estrelliere.
07:27So, I'm pretty sure he'll do this right.
07:30But for EAC, that turned out to be an excellent timeout for Coach Kurt Ong.
07:37He was angry with his players.
07:40Angel Perez.
07:43Strong serve.
07:45Challenging Silva.
07:46Yeah, Silva.
07:47Oh!
07:50Nobody getting it.
07:51On the other side.
07:53So, Letran will head first to our technical timeout with a four-point lead.
07:59On the other side of the break, we'll have a report from Bianca Tagarda.
09:03Not as a player, but as a coach with so much to teach and so much to learn.
09:07Sa kabilang kapuna naman, I got to talk to Coach Kirk Ong kung saan kinuwento niya sa akin na ang isa sa mga adjustments na binigyang pansin niya ay ang depensa with new captain and libero kay D'Andres leading the team.
09:19Bukod pa dyan, Coach Kirk also calls out his players, telling them na ang panalo ay nagsisimula sa kanilang mga sarili and how they approach each and every set.
09:27Martin and Gaira.
09:28Thank you, Bianca.
09:31Okay, report from both coaches.
09:34New coaches here in the NCAA.
09:37And we want to start first with Coach Kirk Ong.
09:39Kasi as we see this play from Letran, dahil itong EAC, we know them.
09:46They're very good with their floor defense, pero pagdating dun sa net defense and attacking, dun sila medyo nagkukulang.
09:53And that's something they can improve on.
09:55But also, one thing to note, Coach Kirk made EAC's captain, D'Andres, who is a libero, because she has to start everything.
10:04It starts with defense.
10:06So she needs to be able to organize her teammates inside the court.
10:11D'Andres was one of the best even last year in the libero position.
10:14And for Coach Maheth, Carolina, it helps na yung coach mo talagang very passionate about the school.
10:22Again, she was part of the last championship team ng Letran in the women's division ng volleyball.
10:29Way back, season 73.
10:30Back-to-back championships, season 73 and 74.
10:34Meantime, play continues.
10:36Back row hit, doesn't work.
10:38It is a 10-4 lead for Letran.
10:41Silva, somehow, getting to it.
10:43But kept alive here by EAC.
10:47Not giving up.
10:48Estrella, D'Andres getting to it as well.
10:52That's the advantage when you have a lefty setter.
10:54Another one.
10:56Another thump this time.
10:58Popped up.
10:59Whoa!
11:00Tara Dayanan.
11:01Connects.
11:03Dayanan with a perfect target going cross court.
11:06Just on the right side of those blockers.
11:09Sari also medyo sumobra din sa pag-block.
11:13So medyong malaki yung space on that, on Netura's side.
11:21Dayanan was actually the number two scorer of EAC last year.
11:25Right behind Eliza Alimen.
11:27And then she scored 177 points in the elimination round.
11:34Sari winds up and puts it down.
11:37Sari, very sensational player for Letran.
11:41We still haven't seen the full form of Vanessa Sari.
11:47Remember last year, she exploded for 37 points against Arelliano.
11:54So very capable.
11:57I don't see Vanessa Sari.
12:01Setup, running attack, will not work.
12:06No!
12:07That's Padilla scoring from the middle.
12:10I also got the chance to talk to Coach Alexi earlier.
12:15And he mentioned, I asked him,
12:17what's something you're going to carry forward with the team
12:20now that you're new here?
12:22He said he saw a lot of set plays with Letran.
12:25And that's something he really likes.
12:27But he's also trying to bring in a European system
12:29wherein he activates the back players as well.
12:33and he also wants to go for those low-pass sets,
12:37which we're actually seeing with Letran in this game.
12:40That's true.
12:41Because he's giving it to Isara, right?
12:43Yes.
12:44That's consultant Alexi.
12:48This is the right pronunciation.
12:51Lachtin Maki.
12:52Oh.
12:53Okay.
12:54Can you say it one more time?
12:55He's finished.
12:56Lachtin Maki.
12:57Okay.
12:58Coach Alexi.
12:59That's it.
12:59So, he is the team consultant here for the Letran Lady Nights.
13:06And they're trying to, you know, get them over the hump.
13:11Because back-to-back, they lost in the finals this year.
13:14They're looking to take it all the way.
13:17Judel Netura, our reigning.
13:19Best opposite.
13:22Razunable.
13:23No problem for Silva.
13:25Netura again.
13:26Puro off-screen dito.
13:27Si Judel De Andres bringing it to Razunable.
13:31Easy pop-up for Letran.
13:33Estreliere to Sari.
13:35She goes down the line.
13:37Sari with great variation.
13:39Earlier, she went cross-court.
13:41Now, she saw that the blocker wasn't there.
13:43So, she went down the line.
13:45And this is going to be the challenge now for EEC.
13:48So many options for the Letran Lady Nights.
13:52Kung baga, kung ikaw dumidipensa dito, malilito ka.
13:54Two excellent sets so far for Estreliere.
13:58But look at that score.
13:5914 leading versus 6.
14:02They pulled away here as Perez overshoots the mark.
14:0615 to 6 now.
14:08The biggest lead of Letran.
14:09This is Coach Alexi Laxtingmari from Finland.
14:15Spent four years as a coach in Finland.
14:19Brought over here by a familiar face in Philippine Volleyball, Coach Fabio.
14:25So, now she's here.
14:30We're seeing a lot of strong serves from Letran.
14:32Yeah.
14:33She's got a lot of strong serves.
14:33Perfect pass.
14:41Delia from the middle.
14:43And Letran is cruising here in the opening set.
14:4616 to 6.
14:49Let's head first to our technical timeout.
14:52Magbabalik po ang ating coverage.
14:53The technical timeout.
14:5616 to 6 in favor of the lead now.
15:19Woo-hoo!
15:20Woo-hoo!
15:21Woo-hoo!
15:22Woo-hoo!
15:22Woo-hoo!
15:23Woo!
15:23Back to our coverage, total domination so far from last year's runner-up finishers,
15:36Daletrang Lady Knights, Padilla, Sari, scoring the last three points, and this is another
15:45point for Padilla.
15:48We can definitely see the change from Coach Mayette's system.
15:53Actually, he said, I just want to remind the players that they're very capable to win every match.
16:00So this is something we're seeing that the girls are very light in this match.
16:05That's right.
16:07So, take by Estrellier.
16:11There's no ball in the middle here at Letran until this point.
16:18I might have jinxed that.
16:19That's what they call broadcaster's jinx.
16:23It's okay.
16:23They're ahead by now.
16:25But they're not playing like it because the hustle is really there for Letran.
16:29Yeah.
16:29So, fun fact lang, if you watch NCAA juniors basketball, they have two players there,
16:38Cyrex Silorio, Daniel Padilla.
16:41They have sisters here in this volleyball team.
16:43Si Padilla, who just took the shot there, younger sister of Daniel Padilla, or Padilla rather,
16:49and the Silorio on the bench of Letran, is the younger sister of Cyrex Silorio.
16:55Actually, these players from Letran, they're from very athletic families.
17:00We also have Nitura, who has a sister in the Alas, Filipinas.
17:03That's true.
17:03From the Nitura Athlete Family.
17:09As we see, the SSR get denied right here.
17:15That's a kill block for EAC, and that's something also Coach Kurt emphasized in practice.
17:21Because it's one of the problems he saw from the previous years,
17:25their blocking, their net defense.
17:27And it also helps that we have Ashley Toriado, who was named as the second-best middle blocker
17:35in high school in the girls' division, but Judel Nitura will not be denied.
17:41Very seamless hit from Nitura.
17:44How would you describe, at least from the opening set, how Letran is moving right now?
17:50Very solid, very strong.
17:54Because you can see, even from the services, it's very different.
17:57They're starting off their offense there, which is giving EAC such a hard time to get those defense and hits.
18:04Precisely.
18:05Also happening in their game against Arellano.
18:07They're not putting Arellano Lady Chiefs.
18:11Perez with a push, and that sails out.
18:14So Letran will establish a 10-point lead in the first set.
18:20We have Sari on the service line.
18:23A service is actually the first line of not only offense, but also defense.
18:28Kasi pag pinahirapan mo yung opponent mo, you're gonna have more chances for that chance ball,
18:34or that free ball, in order to transition.
18:36That's true.
18:38Silva.
18:40She has that capability from her years in playing beach volley.
18:45Nitura!
18:45Silva puts it down.
18:46Above and beyond the blockers for Nitura.
18:50Wow, the Lady Knights are in cruise control right now.
18:57Judel Nitura with yet another point.
19:00It's another timeout for Coach Kirk.
19:02I'm telling you, what matters is what we're doing to them.
19:06We're waiting for them to do it.
19:10What's going on?
19:11We're not going to be on beach volley.
19:13Man, they need to take power to us.
19:17We're not going to do it.
19:18We're not going to be able to respond.
19:22We're not going to be able to play.
19:23We're waiting for them to do it.
19:25We're really going to be able to play.
19:26Go!
19:27Go!
19:27Go!
19:28Go!
19:28Go!
19:28Go!
19:28Go!
19:29Go!
19:29Go!
19:30Go!
19:30Go!
19:31Go!
19:31Go!
19:32Great takeaway from that timeout from Coach Kirk was that they're actually waiting for what Letran will do.
19:41They're waiting to react but not act on their own.
19:44So, sabi niya nga, kailangan nila magbuga, lack of a better term, ng magaganda and also stronger hits para pahirapan itong Lady Knights.
19:54But right now, we're seeing EAC, they have to gain the confidence for this match.
20:01EAC, they have to gain the confidence for this match that happened in that sequence and you can't do that against a great team like Letran because you're letting them dictate what's going to happen.
20:15You need to take space on the court.
20:16They have to be able to challenge.
20:17They have to be able to challenge.
20:22Letran in this match.
20:23Good pass by Silva.
20:24Martin!
20:25It is dug up.
20:26Here's Dayanan on the approach.
20:27Bounce dug the net.
20:28Back to Martin.
20:29Net defense is good for EAC.
20:31First from behind.
20:32Perez will try.
20:33Oh, Silva.
20:34Absorbing that.
20:35That's a chance ball now.
20:36Yeah.
20:37Oh,bert.
20:38Zilla.
20:39But the safe move is still alive.
20:40Good time to save it.
20:41But now he can't do that.
20:42Good time to go out of the way.
20:43But still alive.
20:44Good chance to take the shot from Deandres.
20:45You should have to try.
20:46The time to win.
20:47Now there's a chance ball now, Martina.
20:48I've got a chance ball now.
20:49That's a chance ball now.
20:50I've got a chance ball now.
20:51Yeah.
20:52Oh.
20:53Yeah.
20:54Oh.
20:55Zilla.
20:56But still alive.
20:57Good.
20:58But still alive.
20:59Oh, good reaction from Diandres.
21:00Battle of the Liberos here.
21:02Back set for Nitura again.
21:03Netura again, a long rally we are witnessing, and it is ended by a kill block from Letran.
21:13Coach Mayette very, very happy with that sequence.
21:19How about this? Padilla shutting the door on Dayanang.
21:25There are Padilla and Isarga, but they still have a few tall players that they haven't used yet.
21:36And this is a very complete squad.
21:41But I really want to note the improvement of Estrellaire.
21:46That's right.
21:49I remember her first year.
21:50I think she was still alternating as we see our first challenge of the match.
21:56Alternating between being a spiker and a setter.
22:01And eventually, transition to a full-time setter.
22:04Struggled a little bit in her first years, because of course, she wasn't the natural position.
22:09But eventually got her groove.
22:12But from that, she was hard transitioning from a spiker to a setter.
22:16That actually built her character.
22:19And now she can use that as a spiking setter.
22:23That's true.
22:24That's definitely in.
22:27Any part of the ball that touches the line is in.
22:31So unsuccessful challenge for EAC.
22:36Everything going Letran's way here in the opening set.
22:40Unsuccessful challenge for Coach Kirk Ong.
22:45Doble Palette for EAC.
22:50So their setter will be Georgina Lut.
22:54She's the long-time secondary setter.
22:58Playing behind Anformento in the previous years.
23:00Good set.
23:02Good set.
23:05Perfect set from Estralier.
23:09And Judel Netura continues her rampage.
23:13And how about a 15-point lead for the Letran Lady Knights?
23:18A dominant first set for Letran.
23:25My goodness.
23:27This is an incredible performance by Letran.
23:31Ramos from the middle.
23:33And that breaks the dry spell for EAC.
23:35And maybe this is what EAC needs.
23:43They need Lut as the setter right now in order.
23:46Because of course, she knows the players.
23:49She's known the players for a long time.
23:50So she's going to have the system as well as the players in terms of transition.
23:58That's right.
23:59Good block.
24:01Silva bringing this one to Martin.
24:05Who takes care of that double coverage at the net.
24:13Yann Martin right here.
24:15Two blockers in front of her.
24:16No problem.
24:21And mind you, this is without Gia Makilang.
24:26Still.
24:28Patilia.
24:32Discommunication there caused the error.
24:35Sari from the back row.
24:38And she catches the line.
24:41So Letran.
24:44Finishes off EAC here in the first set.
24:48With a back row hit from Venezia Sari.
24:51Hold on.
24:5125 to 9 in favor of the Letran Lady Knights and they quickly take the lead.
25:06That's why Estrella is able to set things up perfectly as well.
25:10She's having such a great time activating all her spikers.
25:15So we'll see if Letran can continue their domination in the second set.
25:22But for the fourth straight set this season, three from Mariliano, one today against EAC.
25:31They're looking like a championship team.
25:33They're looking like they're already at their peak here early on in this season.
25:41But that's a challenge for them.
25:42Because when you peak, you go down.
25:44This is something they have to sustain until the end.
25:47Or if they still have another level to reach.
25:51So that's also a challenge for them to reach that if ever.
25:54Break the roof.
25:55To rise to that level.
25:56Yeah.
25:57Ramos with the runner here.
26:01Martin, as we begin set number two.
26:06Back row hit.
26:06Bounced off the net.
26:10And Letran scores that point.
26:15So again, Letran scoring the first point.
26:20And it's off an attack.
26:21EAC, you know, they get the ball.
26:24The second ball, the second ball, they're not able to get it.
26:30Andres to Miodunay.
26:32That was an overpass from her.
26:34But that's something they have to improve as well.
26:36And they have to train that.
26:37They're waiting for the ball to go to the net.
26:41But first things first, they have to get better touches in their first ball.
26:47Serving now was one of the best servers last season.
26:51Judel Netura.
26:53Better pass there.
26:54Pérez Kinargahan.
26:57Tequilia.
26:59Backset for the Yanan.
27:00Hopped up.
27:03Martin.
27:05Through the two blockers.
27:06But even though Letran, the Lady Knights, had a very dominant first set,
27:15we're still seeing the first six here.
27:17In the second set, there are no substitutions coming from the coaching staff.
27:21Yeah.
27:22It looks like...
27:26It looks like it's going to be a little bit.
27:29Coach Mayer.
27:31Once you play from Estreliere again.
27:32Dayanan.
27:34Add to Adlib.
27:36This is part 10 again.
27:37She has been...
27:40on fire for the Lady Knights.
27:42But that was such a perfect set from Estreliere.
27:47Like you said, the spikers of the Lady Knights are very well fed in this match.
27:52And I like the approach of Yan Martin.
27:58She's gotten more, at least in the early moments of this one,
28:02she's gotten more efficient with her attacks.
28:04Go, go, go, go!
28:06Perez.
28:06Perez.
28:07He'll still be able to come to the defense of Letran.
28:12Again, that wall at the net for the Lady Knights has been steady.
28:19This time it went through the hand of Estreliere.
28:27And Judel continues to serve.
28:29This is how they started the opening set.
28:31oh Ramos breaks the dry spell very smart move from Ramos we can see that letran very seamless
28:40and established yung blockings nila so you have to make a way to use those hands to get the point
28:45for your team kasi pagsagilid bumupunta sa open opposite bantay sarado ng letran let's now go to
28:54the middle sabini dekilia and then it worked hold on Ramos will serve again there was no whistle yet on
29:07that one okay hopefully she can replicate that strong serve of hers earlier this is too strong
29:20though sometimes you really get rattled during these times in the game but it's still early
29:28six to one start for letran
29:33vien martin with five points already
29:38jump serve perfect pass for EAC
29:44Toreado was activated but it's still alive and Sari is able to score perfect target for Sari as well
29:53going for the middle blocker she actually just made a wait for that ball to go over
29:58but this was a good hit from Toreado Sari just made something out of nothing that time
30:06even in the broken place coach Mayer affirms
30:11and this is where you can see letran has already built their familiarity with each other
30:18kasi even though pa-error na they can still make a way to get that point although Sari committing
30:23that error in that sequence
30:26two to seven
30:28two to seven
30:28two to seven
30:28two to seven
30:29two to seven
30:30two to seven
30:31one of the few errors of letran so far
30:34so dekilia
30:36will proceed
30:39here at the service line
30:41full front row now for EAC
30:44let's see
30:48from Iloilo to
30:50from La Paz National High School
30:52Sari approaches
30:54and goes off the block that time
30:57so letran
30:58is first again to eight points
31:01that means
31:01we'll head to a quick break
31:04magbalik po natin
31:05we'll hear another story from our courtside reporter

32:27it's just like what Coach said earlier
32:30they can't just react
32:31to what Letran is giving them
32:32they have to act
32:33and actually
32:34as the Lady Generals
32:35they have to take charge
32:37in this match
32:38and this is
32:40a start for them
32:42Ashley Toriado
32:43activated by Tequilia
32:45and she scores
32:47this is a promising player
32:49they picked up from
32:51their high school program
32:52it's her alongside
32:55Angel Perez
32:56sila yung duo
32:57na nanggaling doon
32:58both awardees as well
32:59in the girls division

33:04Razunable
33:05yun nga lang
33:06hindi na nakuha
33:09yung second ball
33:10that's something
33:10that they have to improve on
33:12every time the ball
33:13goes towards the net
33:14hindi nila maangat
33:16they're not really used
33:17to that
33:18kind of
33:19kind of
33:20situation
33:21inside the game
33:22and they've had a few
33:24already
33:24you know
33:25those kinds of moments
33:26set here for Toriado
33:29inangat ni Silva
33:31netura
33:33putting it down
33:34it's been a while
33:36for Judel
33:37so sa naman yung
33:40pinguntahan dito
33:41ni Estreliere
33:42how about that
33:43set from
33:43Nat
33:44Estreliere
33:46definitely playing
33:48like she's one of the
33:49veterans here
33:51for Letran
33:5210 to 3
33:54in favor of
33:55the Lady Knights
33:55Razunable
33:57faulty first ball
33:58serve his ace
34:01for Estreliere
34:04showing dominance
34:08here in the second set
34:09very early actually
34:10yeah
34:11so Coach Kirk
34:13calling for another
34:15timeout
34:15he's one of the
34:25he's one of the
34:25lasty side
34:26right
34:26you cannot
34:27swing the hand
34:28like this
34:28I just thought
34:29lasty the same thing
34:30so when lasty serve
34:31middle serve
34:32love that sound
34:34let her spike here
34:35okay so that wasn't
34:48the voice of Coach Kirk
34:49that was Coach Alexi
34:50you heard
34:52but
34:52Coach Kirk Ong
34:54in his first game
34:57here in the NCAA
34:58is a little bit frustrated
35:00he was hoping for a better
35:04showing
35:05from his team
35:07it's hard though
35:09especially if your
35:09first game is against
35:11Letran
35:11but that's also a challenge
35:13a good challenge
35:14for Coach Kirk
35:15because again
35:16this team
35:16is in the bottom
35:18seed
35:18in the last
35:19season
35:20so
35:21this is his chance
35:22to bring them up
35:23but again
35:23it's a challenge
35:24because this team
35:25is very down
35:25confidence wise
35:27so
35:27that's
35:28a building process
35:30here in season 101
35:31they finished
35:33number 9
35:34last year
35:354 and 14

36:25she is starting
36:26to get into
36:27her rhythm
36:28and that's a change
36:29we're seeing
36:29from EAC
36:30in this set
36:31as well
36:31we've been seeing
36:33the setter
36:35just activating
36:36and utilizing
36:37her middle blockers
36:38a lot more
36:39but that's thanks
36:40to the defense
36:41the improved defense
36:42they have here
36:43in the second set
36:43as well
36:44that's right
36:44the final
36:45of Torriado

37:04even efficiency
37:07wise
37:07you know
37:07you rarely

38:35season
38:36with
38:36not
38:36season
38:37Welcome back to the coverage, Padilla, with a spicy hit, and nicely set up as well by Estrandiere.
39:00Hot hands indeed. She saw that there was a blocker in front of her, so she decided to go left.
39:09And she enjoyed that point. This is Padilla. Service error for Sari.
39:19And we rarely say this, but these are errors they can afford as Gia Makilang enters the game for the first time.
39:27The coaches are already trying to reintroduce her to the game again.
39:32They're trying to take it slow with her, make sure she's 100%.
39:36Former beach volleyball MVP.
39:42And an excellent two-way player to the Lady Knights.
39:47Netura winds up and puts it down.
39:52No problem for Netura going down the line.
39:55She is automatic today.
40:00Jodelle.
40:02With that set actually coming from Padilla, that back set from the middle, it was really perfect.
40:13Even her serve is good.
40:14Ramos.
40:16Bumalek.
40:18Pasaol.
40:21Estrandiere.
40:21They're choosing Martin.
40:25Dequilia.
40:25Goes back to Pasaol here.
40:28Who was looking to swipe her out and it worked.
40:34AAC trying to find their footing here in the second set.
40:37So this is Angelica Pasaol from Davao City, who recruited her to come here, Cara Dayanat.
40:48So brought her over from Davao, from Santonino High School.
40:54Ooh, great!
40:58Nitura!
40:59Nitura has been unstoppable.
41:05Already with eight points in this match.
41:10And that's a lot because, just because of the way the passes are being made here by Estrelier.
41:20The way the ball has been distributed.
41:23Right? Well distributed. That was eight points.
41:27Nitura.
41:29And we haven't even seen the scores of her middle blockers as well as her open spikers.
41:34So that's gonna be a service error.
41:39Here's the secondary setter of Lutran Lady Nights.
41:43Tumayo.
41:46Erika Butonal is now in the game.
41:49She had her moments in season 100 alongside Eliza Alimen.
41:59Seven, serving 18.
42:02Good pass again from Silva.
42:04Martin finding a spot at the back.
42:11The Lady Nights, they're not struggling now because look at how they hit.
42:16They hit above the blockers or at the side.
42:19So talagang, they're making a way to get every point.
42:26Nineteen to seven.
42:28Ooh!
42:30Service error.
42:32Actually with three service errors already in this match for the whole team of Lutran.
42:39Three service errors, pero nando pa rin yung score.
42:42Right?
42:43Still very dominant.
42:45Again.
42:47These are errors they can afford at this point.
42:52Dequilia, that's a good serve.
42:54Better reception from Silva.
42:57Patilang tries.
42:59Backset here for Colendra.
43:01Went for the drop.
43:02And it works for Colendra.
43:08And we know Colendra because of her power when it comes to her spikes.
43:15But this time, choosing to be smart with her attempt.
43:19Saarapan nga, diba?
43:23Saarapan nga, diba?
43:25Paluin mo dun sa Soma.
43:26Paluin mo ibigay dun sa...
43:28dun sa...
43:29dun sa...
43:30dun sa...
43:31dun sa...
43:32dun lang sa gitna.
43:33Pero hindi tayo pwede mang mabaga na bola.
43:34Kailangan passports na.
43:36Balik. Ano?
43:39Kaya.
43:40Kailangan tayo sumipend sa kanya-kanya tayo.
43:42Kailangan ganao muna dun.
43:43Hindi ka pumapag...
43:44Tadakot kignan!
43:45Kailangan!
43:46daruti mo ka pumapag!
43:47Kailangan!
43:48Pavelaan!
43:49Pavelaan!
43:50Pavelaan!
43:52Well, Coach Kirk was actually...
43:54at the end of that timeout targeting...
43:55... jewels,
43:57De Andres.
43:59Um, trying to say na dapat po mapasok siya in terms of defense
44:02kasi iniintay niya lang yung bola.
44:04But at the same time, good timeout,
44:06kasi sinabi rin ni Coach Kirk na don't target Silva
44:09when it comes to hitting.
44:12He, the players, the attackers should go
44:14down the line zone 1 or zone 6 only, so that he can keep away totally.
44:22Even if you're going to go there, Sylvia still has a chance to reach that.
44:28She's that agile.
44:30Oh, Toriado.
44:31And they're that familiar with the system.
44:33That's right.
44:35That's all good. Coverage is good for Letran.
44:38Martin.
44:40That one went straight to the net.
44:43So EAC, that was a good sequence for the Lady Generals.
44:50What I've been seeing with EAC, they're just lacking confidence because a lot of players are very promising.
44:56Yeah.
44:57And they're very strong. It's just that they need to play as a single unit and not individually in this match.
45:04They're right.
45:06And Padilla has made a difference for the Lady Knights here.
45:13A very promising blocker.
45:15Yeah, and then it was her who got that first ball, but she made a way to get in and approach so explosively.
45:25And she's such an effective piece to use as a decoy or at least create confusion with the net defense of EAC.
45:37Oh, that was a good touch from Toriado.
45:47You can see her reaction.
45:49There she is.
45:52Off-speed attack.
45:54That was a sharp off-speed though.
45:57This one went down quickly.
45:59She went for a tres now, actually not those usual fast hits.
46:02Now she's on the service line.
46:08So EAC hits double figures here.
46:1210 to 21.
46:14Netura!
46:15Netura!
46:16Just like a bomb.
46:2210 points now for Judel Netura.
46:25Automatic today.
46:28Just unstoppable.
46:29Look at this.
46:30She's been going down the line.
46:32Since the first set.
46:34But she's still not able to push.
46:37But Diana, challenging the blockers to no avail.
46:41That's going for the Lady Knights.
46:45The Lady Knights up by 13 points.
46:49All smiles in this man.
46:51Cara Dayanan.
46:53Again, that Letran net defense.
46:58That impenetrable defense.
47:01They've shown so far.
47:03Pasaol.
47:04Derecho kay Silva.
47:06Back row hit for Makilang.
47:08Vekilia.
47:10Going back to Pasaol here for the push.
47:12Good coverage.
47:14On the other side, Diana.
47:17That's still good.
47:19Papped up by Silva.
47:20Netura.
47:21Longest rally so far.
47:23Confusion.
47:25From EAC's attackers.
47:28Martin.
47:30De Andres.
47:31Keeps it alive.
47:33Here is Pasaol.
47:35Denied.
47:36Netura.
47:37Her hands on that block.
47:40That's Padilla.
47:42Getting the kill block.
47:44Oh no, it's Judel para.
47:46Netura was very much there.
47:50She was really excited.
47:54Good serve.
47:55Short ball targeting the middle.
47:57But they go back to her.
47:59Running hit.
48:01Netura cross court.
48:03Red by Dekelia.
48:04Alimin.
48:06You can see her.
48:07She's not yet 100%.
48:09Judel.
48:11Drops down the hammer to end.
48:14Set number two.
48:16Estrelier serving a feast for her spikers.
48:20Netura loving that one.
48:21Loving that one.
48:24It is another runaway finish.
48:28For the Letran Lady Knights.
48:30Netura with her 11 point.
48:32In the match.
48:3425 to 10.
48:36They take a 2 to nothing lead.
48:372 to nothing lead.
48:382 to nothing lead.
49:07You
