00:02Set number two is about to get underway.
00:05Thank you very much for your viewers.
00:07Anton Rojas together with Gaira Baroga.
00:09And we also have Tati Osteria with us to complete our broadcast trio.
00:15Starting this set with a serve from Kyle Dester.
00:17Here we go, set number two.
00:20Mustamante will start.
00:23And Rico finishes that first play.
00:28Rico with a perfect angle going for the hand of Bartolome, who was late on that block.
00:34But here in the second set, Shai Obipon is still not in for the Lady Altas when she was subbed
00:40out earlier.
00:41What an angle from Bartolome!
00:44From Bartolome!
00:47She is sending a clear message.
00:52She can play this position.
00:55And three points in the match for Bartolome.
01:02Almenyana rising up.
01:07Bartolome again.
01:08Make that four, Anton.
01:11She is starting to get going for the Bimildians.
01:19And with her height, she's going to be very difficult to stop.
01:24As a newly converted outside hitter, she has a lot of variations.
01:31Here she is again, Basarte.
01:33Another one.
01:35Three straight points for Bartolome.
01:37Basarte with so much trust in the rookie.
01:46Down the line, cross-court.
01:49Off speed.
01:50She is showing us a variety of ways she can score.
01:55Katarig.
01:56Oh, what a save by Lozano.
02:01Basarte goes back to Bartolome.
02:04And this time, Perpetual gets the stop.
02:08That one sails out.
02:13The score is very similar to how set number one started.
02:19Yeah, and it's tough to fall behind.
02:22Against Benil.
02:27Perpetual has only lost once this season.
02:30And it was a straight sets loss against Letran.
02:36So this is a team that has been used to winning here in Season 101.
02:44Chimae is now in.
02:46Oh!
02:48But consistency is key for the Lady Altas.
02:51They would not want to lose this match against the Benil Lady Blazers.
02:56And actually, it's a good chance as well for the Lady Blazers
03:00because they have been struggling in the early part of Season 101.
03:05But again, sometimes you peak at the right time or sa dulo.
03:10And with our format right now, with the play-in,
03:14anyone can actually go up to the Final Four.
03:20Yeah, we've been talking about how teams can turn it on at the right time
03:25pag magandahan kising, lalo na sa play-in.
03:29And there's a chance for anybody, really, to advance to the quarterfinals.
03:36And Bartolome is just doing everything right in this set.
03:39You mentioned, maganda ang gising.
03:41And kita ka natin, sobrang ganda ang gising ni Bartolome.
03:45She can't do no wrong.
03:49That's a lifting violation called on Ram Nolasco.
03:57Oh, Lakmai.
03:59That's what you like to see as a coach, a player.
04:04When her number gets called, she delivers.
04:11Galasco.
04:12Zone one.
04:16Zam Galasco, the scoring machine of the Lady Blazers.
04:20Yup, number two score in the NCAA, coming into today.
04:29Now on the service line, Zam Galasco.
04:39Lakmai.
04:40On a quick attack.
04:43Blockings of the been-ealed Lady Blazers were not established.
04:48Substitution for Lady Atas.
04:50Two out.
04:52Nan Geraldine Palashanin.
05:01Dorog.
05:02Five serving seven.
05:04Looking on as Lagmai is ready to serve this one up.
05:10Benilde is the best receiving team in the NCAA.
05:17Patong play.
05:20That's inside.
05:22Gemminor.
05:24Great set play from Areola.
05:28And that's one of the best plays that we've seen from Perbeto this match.
05:32That's six points now for Gemmin.
05:40Basarte.
05:41Odangan on the running attack.
05:44Menor.
05:48Yeses.
05:49Great defense by Almenyana.
05:52Awesome big right there.
05:54Odangan.
05:55Impeccable timing.
05:57With no hesitation at all.
06:02Benilde is up by two.
06:03And when we return, Tati Austria will give us another update from Portside.
06:07updated past on Wednesday.
06:09Looking at last even on Wednesday.
06:11I basically don't want to call out Ž-
06:15That's what's going on, Michael.
06:24To be quiet on Tuesday.
06:24señor life by Mussack,
06:24notice that I win a half.
06:24As long as Steve died.
06:36Before the Arabic we were Beastie,
06:47It's time for the perpetual Lady Altas to clean up their moves on the court
06:53as Coach Sandy Rieta called them out saying,
06:55Iwasan natin ang sunod-sunod the errors.
06:58Nasasayang lang din ang services natin.
07:00But now they do have to swiftly observe how Benil moves and adjust as soon as possible.
07:05But, sabi naman ni Coach Sandy, calmahan lang natin.
07:08Magbabago man ang game plan, but for Shai Omipon,
07:10the one thing that can never change is their sacred morning routine of warming up to Budots.
07:15Tekno dance music aside, alam ni Shai na may latches naman sila on the court.
07:19But it won't slow them down today from playing to the beat of their own drum.
07:24Para sa inyo naman, Anton and Kyra, what do you think is the soundtrack of this game?
07:28We've been actually talking about Anton's playlist earlier.
07:32So I think Budots is something that he will add.
07:35No, no, no thank you.
07:38I don't think that's a song that I will include in my playlist.
07:43Anytime soon or possibly ever.
07:46But you know what Shai Omipon has said and what Tati has reported,
07:51that's a good way to start their game day with good energy, good vibes.
07:56And this needs to be translated in the match right now.
08:02If at any point in their match, their legs seem dead, you blame it on the Budots.
08:09No, or you blame it on the lack of music.
08:15Menor.
08:18Ariola.
08:19To Bustamante.
08:28Bustamante coming off the bench in the first set,
08:32contributing well for the Lady Aldas here in the second.
08:36Actually, there are a lot of players right now from the bench.
08:40And what Coach Sandy actually said earlier pre-game was
08:44he had a healthy competition going in the pre-season.
08:48So everyone is really ready to be in the first six.
08:54Menor.
08:55Great blocking by the Lady Blazers.
08:58Menor again.
09:00Martolome.
09:02Kataric.
09:03Picked up by Almenyana.
09:04Ariola back to Menor.
09:08That's inside.
09:10And that's a point for Gemalyn Menor.
09:14Don't look now.
09:17The perpetual in the Altas are on a run, a 3-0 run for Coach Sandy Vieta.
09:27And we are tied.
09:299-all.
09:31Things just got a whole lot interesting.
09:37As Clydel Kataric responds with that hit and ends that 3-0 run by Perpetual.
09:44Six points for Kataric.
09:47No problem for Kataric.
09:50How do you assess?
09:52We have Bartolome in the front row.
09:56Yes, yes.
09:57Just enough to get it over the net.
09:59Oh, what a set right there in a finish by Palacio.
10:04Palacio coming off the bench already with hot hands.
10:17But the Spikers are ready for them.
10:20But the Spikers are ready for them.
10:23Almenyana.
10:25Elevating for that one.
10:26Bartolome.
10:27Oh, Lozano.
10:28What a dig.
10:31Sending it back to Benil.
10:32The inside.
10:34Kataric flick of the wrist.
10:37What a play from Tine Basarte.
10:41Kataric coming in in the middle.
10:45Deserving for Benil.
10:47Chris Yundang.
10:52One-point lead for Benil.
10:56Ariola goes to the middle for Palacio who puts it away.
11:02Wink attack at Geraldine Palacio.
11:14Interesting scenario we have here.
11:16Geraldine Palacio.
11:18Match tied.
11:21Here in the second set at 11, Bartolome.
11:25Good save by Ariola but was not able to control that ball.
11:31And that's the point for the St. Blazers.
11:4412-11.
11:49Ariola.
11:51To Bustamante.
11:54It's hard to go through both tall blockers.
11:58Bustamante and Nolasco protecting their side of the court.
12:04Serving for the Lady Blazers.
12:07Pauy Kamari.
12:13Ariola tossing it up.
12:17Basarte.
12:20Almeñana.
12:20Almeñana.
12:22That sails out.
12:26Tuck goes out.
12:29So Perpetual has been struggling with their first ball as well as their setting.
12:3614.
12:37Serving 11.
12:44Ball goes back to the Benílian side.
12:47Basarte.
12:48To Nolasco.
12:50Sam Nolasco.
12:54That violation called on the Perpetual Lady Altas but that will be challenged by Coach Sandy Rieta.
13:00By the Lady Blazer, by the Lady Altas.
13:04The challenge is ball in, ball out.
13:20So that's three straight points for Benílian.
13:25Let's see.
13:27If that will change.
13:30As a result of this challenge.
13:33That definitely looks in.
13:35Ball is three.
13:38Challenge unsuccessful.
13:38Challenge unsuccessful by the Lady Altas.
13:42The Lady Altas has won the Lady Challenge for this set.
13:484-0 run now for the Benílians.
13:57Ariola.
14:01Bartolome on the corner.
14:05Bartolome with so much confidence as a rookie.
14:08Playing a new position for the Lady Blazers.
14:13That's our second.
14:14Bartolome has been on fire here in set number two.
14:23Yeah.
14:55All right, since we are moving towards the NCAA Playoffs, let's refresh everybody's memories, including ours, as we check out
15:06the tournament format here.
15:09So, we're at the point of the teams from the same group are playing with each other again or playing
15:17against each other once again.
15:20And this is really tough for all teams, of course.
15:25You would really want to be steady coming into the playoffs.
15:30For the Lady Altas.
15:39And it is more than likely that Benílian and Perpetual will enter.
15:48the playoffs with twice-to-beat advantages if they continue to do what they're doing.
15:55Because, as we saw in the team standings at the top of the coverage,
16:00the advantage of their advantage against the rest of the teams in Group A, Mapua, San Sebastian, and JRU.
16:08So, consistency is key still for these players, but as consistent as ever, Zam Nolasco powering through those blockers.
16:22Eight points for Zam Nolasco.
16:25But right now, for the Lady Blazers, their top scorer is the rookie, which is Bartolome with nine points, Katarig
16:34as well with seven points in the match.
16:40Yeses puts it away.
16:45That's five points for Kai Yeses as Beníl establishes a six-point lead.
17:17The challenge from Coach Sandy.
17:20Paano tayo mananalo nyan?
17:23The Lady Altas, they really have the shape up here.
17:2618-12 is the score.
17:29And Beníl has been on top of this game.
17:38It only seems like a moment ago, as we see that is by Camp Sparkolome.
17:46With her 10th point in the match.
17:50Before, 11 all yet, right?
17:53What a run by the Lady Blazers.
17:56An 8-1 run.
17:59And all Coach Sandy can do is smile as Beníl is doing Beníl things.
18:10One point for Lady Blazers.
18:12Kylie Yeses on top of that block.
18:15A 9-1 run.
18:23I love the celebration of the Lady Blazers.
18:26They are really supporting each other.
18:34That's still good, but a chance ball for the Lady Blazers.
18:38Basarte, it's that signature twirling set.
18:45You know what?
18:46The SSG is not as much of a scoring machine as the others, but her defense and coverage, as well
18:54as reception, has been on point in this match.
18:57Serving for Perpetua, Sayo Mañana.
19:02Oh!
19:05Almost getting a point there with the help of the net.
19:08No help needed for Zam Nolasco.
19:12Easy put away.
19:13Zam Nolasco is a player where she can play all positions at this point.
19:23On deck to serve Zam Nolasco for the Lady Blazers.
19:31Tossing it up for Menor.
19:35Off the block.
19:38Jem Menor.
19:41Eight points in the match for Jemalyn Menor.
19:47Spilling for the Lady Altax, Lorin Lugman.
19:58Gaa to Menor.
20:03More difficult set there for Basarte.
20:06It's out there.
20:08Pondangan was actually facing the court and not the net.
20:12But that was set up quite late as well.
20:17But Veneo still has a very comfortable speed right now.
20:26Basarte to Lieses.
20:29Down the line attack.
20:34Kai Lieses.
20:37Seven points for Kai Lieses.
20:40Serving for Veneo, Deci Basarte.
20:47Great serve by Sine.
20:50Reyes is now in for Perpetual.
20:55What an angle.
20:58Cross-court hit.
21:02Katarig.
21:03Her own version of a cross-court attack.
21:06Katarig with eight points in this match.
21:09Great ball distribution by Sine Basarte.
21:36The ball from Coach Sandy.
21:38Don't understand the score.
21:40But, like he mentioned as well, the pressure is getting into their heads.
21:45And they're not playing as a solid unit already.
21:50On the side of Benil, as steady as ever.
21:53No problem for the Lady Blazers.
21:57Gaa.
22:00And Menor gets the point.
22:03Double digits now for, or rather, nine points for Menor.
22:08Just one point away from reaching the 10-point mark.
22:14Areola is back in as well as Bustamante.
22:21But Umipon still not inside the court.
22:24Not the usual starters for Perpetual.
22:33Pasarte, back set for Katarig.
22:35Bounce ball.
22:36That's a kill.
22:37Fly Katarig.
22:41Katarig is playing with so much relaxation in this match.
22:47At the center point.
22:48Serving for the set.
22:50Carly assess.
22:53Just playing free.
22:56A one-handed set.
22:58Bustamante tipping it over to the Benildean side.
23:01Ondangan ends the set.
23:04Christy Ondangan ends the set.
23:05Christy Ondangan with a quick attack.
23:09And this put away.
23:12Puts Benilde ahead.
23:15Two sets to none.
23:17Against the team that beat them in five sets.
23:21During their first meeting this season.
23:24Will be back for set number three.
23:26The Lady Blazers took the second set.
23:2825-16.
23:30They now take the lead.
23:32Two sets to none.
