00:00Middle blocker number three, Luis Tudau. Middle blocker number four, Eloy Dote. Outside spiker number 13, Francis Mo. Setter number
00:12three, Abe Pono. Middle blocker number 10, Nix Mata. Outside spiker number 12, Santada, who also became the MVP the
00:23following year.
00:25So we have an interesting match at hand. Set one is underway. Pono will set it up for Sam. Checked
00:35another chance here for Panique. Gets that first point for the NU Lady Bulldogs.
00:40But they understand the importance of that. Para pag-akit sa seniors, hinug na hinug na. That's why we're seeing
00:46a lot of talents like Nitura, Cantada, even si Labela when they were on their rookie year.
00:53That will be the first point for Sam Cantada. And as a left, Nitura all fired up on the side
00:58of Adamson as well.
01:01Kailangan mapainit ng Adamson si Shainan Nitura this early in the game. On the other hand, Pono has been distributing
01:08the ball so well.
01:09Alongside Nitura, Sagaisai, and Tudau. But today, here at the USD Quadricentennial Pavilion, a painful memory lingers.
01:16Losing that same title in their final year to the same team. Now with this young core, Abby is focused
01:21on a collective...
01:22You're right on that, Nio. 14 points in their opener.
01:25Together with Abby Seggi, 8 points.
01:28Pono will choose Alin Sook again.
01:34Playmaker, Sagaisai, with 13 excellent points last match.
01:37Pono to Sam.
01:40Off the hands of the T-Tower.
01:44Yung din siguro yung advantage ng Adamson. Kahit papano, they already know how Sam Cantada plays.
01:49They know her tendencies.
01:51So it's really about executing your defense.
01:53Getting a lot of experience from Alas Pilipinas.
01:56And from her ates in the national team, you can get a sense on how she reads the game right
02:01now.
02:02She knows what to do with the ball.
02:05Definitely with that experience, we see deeper plays as of the moment.
02:12Broken play.
02:15Boto.
02:18Gonna be another chance here for Cantada.
02:21Gets that one right by the corner.
02:23Can you talk about the balanced offense of both of these teams?
02:27Well, for Nio, ganun pa rin naman eh.
02:30I think the two teams can mirror each other in terms of player composition.
02:36Just like that.
02:38Maaya can also score for Nio, just like the middles of Adamson.
02:46We're tied at 12.
02:48Pono.
02:50Ooh!
02:54Bumadshangal from Ara Panique.
02:56Go-to player as an ace.
02:57That can be a factor in her leadership.
03:01Second one.
03:02Well vocal naman kasi siya ever since first year pa lang.
03:05But now she has developed maturity in terms of leading.
03:1217 all.
03:14Pono choosing Sam Cantada.
03:16Cross court.
03:17Way too powerful.
03:19Or you can have a chance to transition to offense.
03:25Sagaysay.
03:26And Morty again.
03:27Saved by Alinsog.
03:33Okay.
03:41Play on here.
03:44Sagaysay will choose Morty.
03:46Cross court.
03:47Unseable by Maaya.
03:49Sarina Nitura.
03:51So that will give Adamson a full front line.
03:5418 serving.
03:5619.
03:57Sam Cantada.
03:58Going softer and smarter on the side of Nio.
04:09Okay.
04:10Shusegi.
04:12Gets that one.
04:13Breaks the momentum of Nio.
04:15So this is going to be a good matchup.
04:22Great follow-up there from Chira Harjo.
04:26Attempted that side out.
04:28What a save there by Harjo.
04:31Another power coming from Sam Cantada.
04:3623 serving 20 here for set number one.
04:47Set ng pagbalasa ni Coach J.P. Ude.
04:51Nio Lady Bulldogs now at set point for set number one.
04:55Will this be the last and final play?
04:59Morty says not yet.
05:01Which is Morty for the ball.
05:04For Adamson.
05:06So they have to find a way to get more points from her.
05:09But as I say that, Adamson commits a crucial error.
05:13Recalibrate for set number two.
05:15Feisagay Sai serving for Adamson.
05:18Pono to Sam Cantada.
05:21What a great receive there by Nitura.
05:24Morty.
05:27And with that, one-through play coming from Pono herself.
05:31Nobody expected that dunk ball.
05:35Yunday, move of the set.
05:36Experience more in every mile.
05:40Masarap panore.
05:41And yung overall skill set is there.
05:43Good defender, receiver.
05:45She can also score off the service line
05:49while scoring from the front row.
05:51Opening weekend instead of Lam's.
05:53And again, under the guidance of Lam's Lamina,
05:56she's been distributing really well
05:58and really showing the potential of the Lady Bulldogs.
06:00Siguro that's also one of the ways
06:03na ihahand off nila yung setting chores to Pono.
06:08Lam's will always be ready from the sidelines.
06:11So now I think Coach Regine is just giving her more...
06:14Serving five.
06:16NU on top by three.
06:17Panique still serving.
06:25That's gonna be a three-point again for the NU Lady Bulldogs.
06:29On your screens, we have Dr. Oti Kamangian of National University
06:32supporting the National University Lady Bulldogs.
06:36Salinsuk with that power right down the line.
06:42Chami Maaya.
06:44Biggest lead so far here.
06:47Four-point deficit.
06:49Nitwira will try to change things.
06:51Pono to Sam Cantada.
06:53Softer again and smarter.
06:55She did this in set number one.
06:56Still works here for Shepton.
07:02Five-point cushion here for the NU Lady Bulldogs.
07:06Smarty again.
07:08Now it's just a two-point game here.
07:10Pono is serving for Adamson.
07:14Pono choosing Sam Cantada.
07:16It's power.
07:18Off the block, Sam Cantada.
07:29Solid block point there.
07:31He's in the front line.
07:32Kadamihan ng sets na pupunta sa kanya.
07:34But now with the balance, front line.
07:36Pwede siyang magbigayin ng sets sa opposite.
07:39She can also go to the middle.
07:42That's what Abi Pono did as well.
07:45Go-to player is Francis Mordy with ten points.
07:48Pono to Vange.
07:50Ooh, that's still alive.
07:53Pop it up.
07:54Keita Nitura from the pipe.
07:58Pono to Vange.
08:00Closing down the angle.
08:02You would see a lot of sets to the left pin.
08:07Second side.
08:09De Mordy again.
08:12Another one there.
08:16Finally.
08:22That's a lead for Terp Tamahaya.
08:25That's gonna be...
08:34That's gonna be...
08:35Broken play.
08:36Pono.
08:37That's gonna be backed about points.
08:39Now, they've got three points to go in getting this set victory as well.
08:46So, Gaysay will choose Mordy.
08:50As speedy as she can.
08:52Taking that one for the team.
08:55Targeting zone six.
08:57First player to go double digits.
09:00On the line for Sam Cantada.
09:0623, serving 17.
09:11Segi.
09:12Tries and gets it.
09:15You don't want your errors to pile up.
09:18Especially here.
09:19Last two points.
09:21Pono.
09:23Panike.
09:23That's gonna be...
09:26Denny's point.
09:28At a set point of set number two, 24-18.
09:34Faye will choose Shaina.
09:38Targeting Sam herself.
09:40Gets that point.
09:41Queen angle coming from Shaina.
09:45Still at set point.
09:48Pono.
09:49Tupanike.
09:52Ball lifted up for Nitura again.
09:55And that is gonna be the final point.
09:58For the White Shirts.
10:04Sagaysay.
10:05To Nitura.
10:06That's gonna be a solid first point.
10:08Coming from Nitura.
10:10That's gonna be her 11th point here of the match.
10:12To get their first sweep of the season.
10:15Off-speed play from NU.
10:20Tightening the defense here.
10:24Put it up for Alinsug.
10:27What a receive there by third.
10:31Blocked by Chami.
10:32Another chance here.
10:33Softer one for Shaina.
10:35Hardy will pop it up high for Panike.
10:38Ball is still kept in play.
10:39What a save by Vance.
10:41Katana from the pipe.
10:42Still blocked.
10:43Hardy will pop it up.
10:45Longest rally so far here.
10:48Set three.
10:49Morty for the kill.
10:49Still alive.
10:53Another one here for Adamson.
10:55Will it be Morty's second attempt?
10:58Oh, and Chami Maia gets that one to her throne.
11:02Defense is the name of the game for NU.
11:05They kept that ball alive through their floor defense.
11:10This team by defensive play of the second.
11:12Segui with six points.
11:15Oh, happy birthday, Vance.
11:19What a clean angle.
11:21Break the block of NU rather.
11:26Tura with 12 points.
11:37Up and away for Ara Panike.
11:40Too hot to handle for Sakaisai.
11:44That will be the 10th point of Ara Panike.
12:0418 and serving 17.
12:0617.
12:15Here, Cantana jump serve.
12:20Sakaisai.
12:21Tanitura.
12:23That will be another attack here.
12:26Already in the final moments of set number three.
12:30It's really up to Sakaisai kung sino pipiliin niya.
12:42Double sub here for Coach J.P. Ude.
12:45Again, our player game.
12:48I'm going to get some points here for our set three.
12:52A pivotal set.
12:54Let's see if they can extend the game here.
12:57Or will NUB coming in in the latter parts of the set?
13:04Lamina to Cantana.
13:07Put it up for Sam again.
13:09Still blocked.
13:11Defense on point for Adamson.
13:13But she breaks through it for the third time.
13:17A clean sweep.
13:19But again, Morty and her hot hands together with her teammates
13:23still halting the NU Lady Bulldogs as strongly as possible.
13:28Take a look at this.
13:29Again, it's back-to-back points here.
13:32Hot, hot, hot, hot.
13:34The final points for Adamson.
13:35If they do want to extend this match to a fourth.
13:41What a save there.
13:44Ball is kept in play.
13:46Lambs will choose Cantana.
13:47And that is a crucial, crucial block by Abby Segui.
13:53Morty and the rest of the squad here.
13:56Leading by a single point.
14:00And with that, Cantana will get that check ball.
14:08Lambs Lamina.
14:11Sagay, Sagay, Sagay, Sagay.
14:13And with that, take a look at that angle.
14:18Again, Neil, you said it was all eyes on Sam Cantada.
14:25Abby Segui will put it up.
14:29Chance here for Panike.
14:32Colby.
14:34Colby, Juan Ramalique.
