Transcript
00:00We're not committing many errors. You know, only 49 errors combined, 25 and 24.
00:06So, now, first set, you give that many errors, it's not easy to get away from Binyut.
00:14And especially if you're going against defending champions, you have to, I would say, commit at least, or at most,
00:22two errors per set, which is hard.
00:25But, you know, Katarig making it even harder for the Perpetual Lady Altus.
00:31You can see how it looks like it's just simple, it's like a tight end, Katarig, and then, slight tap,
00:39targeting the right spot.
00:41She makes everything seem so simple in the court.
00:44Yeah, and you know, her demeanor on the court adds to it, because she looks like a nonchalant.
00:50I don't know, I'm just chill.
00:51But, when we were in the interview, it was a bit hard.
00:54Yeah.
00:55The court was just like that.
00:57Seriously.
00:58Menor!
00:59Ooh!
01:01Fifth kill block of the match for Deneild.
01:08Again, this impenetrable wall.
01:12Still posing a ton of problems for Perpetual.
01:15It's a good job of Zam Nolasco.
01:17She's kind of far away, but she reached her arm to the right.
01:22Outside.
01:25Not a great start for Perpetual.
01:30Going down 3-0.
01:33Menana tried to go down the line to not hit Nolasco's hands.
01:38But her angle was too left.
01:43Off-speed.
01:44Basarte!
01:47This will go out.
01:49So, first point for Perpetual.
01:52Great hustle by Ashley Essis, though.
01:57And Menana.
01:58But this is Menor with the off-speed.
02:04Basarte.
02:06To Katarig.
02:07Gross court!
02:09That's good!
02:10Still Katarig.
02:12Chipping in a lot of points for Benil.
02:15But also, for the Lady Blazers.
02:19So far similar.
02:20I mean, I know they're twins.
02:22But very similar to Ashley Essis and Kylie Essis,
02:24even in their reception.
02:27That's true.
02:29It's amazing.
02:31Two-way players.
02:33That's why they didn't get the bulk of minutes.
02:35Serving for Perpetual.
02:36For the Benil Lady Blazers.
02:38Not just...
02:40Scoring.
02:41If they're the same number,
02:43we're more likely to lose.
02:45Right?
02:46Actually, I think Kai is on the floor
02:48because in the last game,
02:49Kai has a bunch of fun.
02:51Oh, that's it.
02:52The two are the same.
02:53He's the same.
02:54Who was silent in the first set.
02:58Brings it right here.
02:59She's one of the seniors in the team
03:01who needs to be activated even more
03:04and utilized.
03:05If you have a team like Benil,
03:07you should be the Perpetual more on place.
03:10Umipon is on the floor.
03:11That's right.
03:12Like what Benil is doing.
03:14You have Bartolome, an outside hitter,
03:17but she's hitting from the middle.
03:19This is Bartolome with a put down.
03:23Open is that corner pocket.
03:25So 5-2-3 now for Benil.
03:28They get the faster start.
03:31It's a good serve.
03:33Off speed.
03:35Not gonna work.
03:36Pasarte.
03:37They go to Zam.
03:40Umipon will try.
03:42Yeses with a save.
03:43Nolasco again.
03:45She won't be denied on the second try.
03:48Nolasco with another point in this match.
03:53Nolasco actually had her hand on that.
03:55But for Perpetual,
03:58what we've been noticing is
03:59their reaction is that
04:02they don't have too much reaction in this game.
04:04Again, that was
04:05game number one.
04:08They were very active.
04:10Yeah, exactly.
04:11Because that became the difference maker for them.
04:14That enabled them to keep up with Benil.
04:16Services from Bartolome.
04:22Ever since Bartolome played as an outside hitter,
04:27we've noticed that she's gained more confidence.
04:30She's more comfortable as an outside hitter.
04:34Mustamante is in for Perpetual.
04:37Six points for Bartolome.
04:39Back to back.
04:39Back to back.
04:40So this is for their rookie.
04:438-3 lead for Benil.
04:45Let's go back.
04:47We have the same story from this Tati Austria.
04:49Our reports are reported.
04:508-3.
05:23Welcome back, mga kapuso.
05:25You are watching the NCAA Season 101 Women's Volleyball Tournament
05:28where the Benil Lady Blazers took hold
05:30in set number one.
05:31Kaya naman ang bungat ni Coach Sandy Vieta
05:34during their huddle with the Perpetual Lady Altas.
05:36Depensahan natin.
05:37Andami na nating error.
05:39Even calling out na nahihirapan na silang basahin
05:42ang opensa ng Benil.
05:43But sometimes a loss is all the spark you need
05:45to ignite that comeback.
05:47For team captain siya, Enrico,
05:49she believes that hindi lamang spark.
05:51Dapat all out fire.
05:53Kwento ni Cha sa akin,
05:54nabitawan man namin ang game one.
05:56Pero alam namin,
05:57kaya namin bumalik ng buo.
05:58Dagdag pa niya,
05:59may mga pagkakataong hindi namin nasusunod
06:02yung ginagawa namin sa training.
06:04Kaya napakahalaga sa amin
06:05ang communication sa araw na ito.
06:07At kahit anong puntos,
06:09dapat nakapag-celebrate pa rin kami.
06:11Martin and Gaira.
06:12Thank you Tati for that wonderful report.
06:14Actually on the side of Perpetual.
06:16That's true.
06:17They should light the fire in this match
06:20or else they might burn down
06:22in this second set.
06:24Which might be,
06:26not saying it is,
06:27but could be the deciding factor
06:29in this match.
06:31Exactly.
06:32Because it is translating
06:36and it is manifesting
06:37on the court for Benoit.
06:39you know,
06:40that lack of energy.
06:42It's a step-step.
06:43It's a step-step.
06:44It's a step-step.
06:45It's a step-step.
06:45They're not going to reach the ball.
06:46They're delayed on their reactions.
06:48So they have to wake up
06:50before it's too late.
06:52And then the previous match,
06:54we could see that
06:55the defense of Perpetual.
06:58But in this match,
06:59it's a step-step
07:00unless the ball would go to Lozano.
07:04Jody is just a bit
07:07sure
07:08and fully committed
07:09as we
07:10check out this challenge
07:12from Benioed.
07:15Was there a touch
07:16on that attempt?
07:18It was ruled outside initially.
07:22So let's see.
07:2580 Blazers are trying to
07:27get back to the finals
07:29for the fifth straight season.
07:31again, post-pandemic.
07:34Right, right.
07:35Post-pandemic.
07:36Since we started in Season 97
07:37or we restarted
07:39the live games here in the NCAA,
07:41they were just champions
07:43in women's volleyball.
07:45It's been a dynasty so far.
07:48Ooh!
07:51There was a touch.
07:56Good challenge by
07:58the Lady Blazers
07:59by Coach Cherry
08:00and his coaching staff.
08:01The Lady Blazers
08:0110, serving 5.
08:0410 to 5.
08:08Aumipon.
08:10Menor.
08:13Basarte
08:14goes to the middle.
08:17Menor
08:18tries again.
08:19Torog
08:20saves it.
08:22All yeses.
08:24Wala.
08:25Underhand pass for Katarig.
08:27Tinulak na lang.
08:27They go back to Gemeline.
08:30They go back to Gemeline.
08:31Basarte
08:32choosing Lieses
08:34and she scores.
08:36And Lieses!
08:37Great target by Lieses
08:39going to the left side
08:41of the middle blocker.
08:42Palacios on that one.
08:45That's a great adjustment
08:46coming from
08:47Ash Lieses.
08:49Perpetual
08:49falling behind pick.
09:15You could just feel the frustration
09:18in Coach Sandy's voice.
09:19And I would say, of course, having coaches on the team.
09:25They've...
09:25They've told us all during training.
09:28So these minor details that they say in-game,
09:31that's what's happening right now.
09:33That's what's happening right now.
09:35And that's what the challenge of Perpetual
09:37is that they don't have communication
09:39and they're not owning the ball.
09:43That's right.
09:44Again, all about commitment for Perpetual
09:46facing Beniod.
09:48That's an encouraging point for Gemine Orr.
09:53Taking a tight angle
09:56on this cross-court kill.
09:58You know.
10:00Wow.
10:02Nipis.
10:056-11.
10:07Palacio to serve.
10:10Pasarte to Lieses.
10:13That was slowed down.
10:15Menor.
10:16That's a good touch.
10:18Ah, still alive.
10:19Great save by Lieses.
10:20That's right.
10:21Lieses running for that ball,
10:24but good reaction as well.
10:25from Perpetual.
10:29Perpetual making the most
10:31out of the out-of-system situation
10:34that Benild had in that sequence.
10:36Which is a rarity.
10:38That's why they have advantageed.
10:407-11.
10:42Two straight from the Lady Altas.
10:46That goes in.
10:49That's a miss.
10:49Service ace.
10:51It's like Palacio
10:55making that
10:56three straight now.
10:58From Perpetual.
11:02An effort to come back here
11:04in the second set.
11:07Service ace.
11:09Yeah, that will hurt.
11:10Because they were building momentum already.
11:15For that serve as well,
11:17the release of Palacio's
11:20on her serve.
11:22You have Ash Lieses on the service line
11:24now for Benild.
11:25And the Lieses twins are also very good servers.
11:29Menor.
11:30Dropped it.
11:32It's a broken play.
11:34It's just a win.
11:35Here is the quick attack.
11:38Bartolome.
11:39On a better take.
11:40And that's the result.
11:42Through the ball.
11:43Count.
11:43Gotta love that hit from Bartolome.
11:46Adjusting mid-air.
11:50Initially,
11:51she was the one who attempted
11:53that out-of-system play.
11:56And then afterwards,
11:57a better setup
11:58from Basarte.
12:00We have Lagmai now
12:01coming in for Perpetual.
12:03Lorraine Lagmai
12:04who was replaced
12:06towards the end of the first
12:08by Palacio.
12:1013-8.
12:12For Benild here.
12:13Down the line.
12:14Back-to-back points.
12:15Over comes Bartolome.
12:17Bartolome going down the line
12:19this time
12:20with that no-look hit.
12:22Wow.
12:25She loved that point.
12:27The rookie now has
12:29nine points
12:30across two sets.
12:32Oh, float serve.
12:36Basarte.
12:37To Clydel.
12:39Saved.
12:41There's a chance.
12:42Menor.
12:43One-handed save
12:45from Torog.
12:46This is gonna be
12:47a free ball though.
12:50PP.
12:51Uy.
12:53But that's called in.
12:56Menor with a good eye
12:58on that one.
12:59But Coach Jerry Yi
13:00is asking for a challenge
13:02right now.
13:03Yeah.
13:04That's what Christy says.
13:05That's because
13:06the ball is on the edge
13:07of the ball.
13:09He said he didn't
13:10do that.
13:13Okay, let's check.
13:148-14.
13:19Again, this is
13:21a dangerous situation
13:23for Perpetual here.
13:26Perpetual, I think
13:27now is the time
13:28to really step up
13:30knowing that
13:31this is the score
13:32that they should not
13:33reach even more
13:35because they're gonna
13:35have a really hard time
13:36with that.
13:37That's true.
13:38You see here
13:39the Lady Blazers
13:42just enjoying
13:43the match.
13:45Only one graduating
13:45player for Perpetual
13:47by the way.
13:47Only Pauline Reyes
13:50will depart
13:51after this season.
13:54Okay.
13:55Coach Jerry Yi
13:57this is supposed to be
13:59a transition year
14:00for Coach Jerry
14:00because of
14:02all the key players
14:03he lost.
14:04And again,
14:05we're part of the core
14:06in those championship
14:08teams.
14:09Last year,
14:10the final piece
14:11of Micah,
14:12graduating already,
14:13former MVP.
14:15Now,
14:16he is dealing with
14:17new players
14:18and still,
14:19you know,
14:20they're here in the semis
14:21and a step closer
14:22to the finals.
14:23Actually,
14:23even in the last year,
14:24Estoke was still
14:25in that lineup.
14:26But,
14:27you know what?
14:28For Benil,
14:29they are peaking
14:30at the perfect time.
14:33They were struggling
14:34in the first round
14:35but,
14:36now they're doing well.
14:38With that challenge,
14:39it looks out.
14:40by Benil.
14:41What's the first ball?
14:42Outside.
14:43Good challenge
14:44for Coach Jerry Yi.
14:47Point and serve
14:48for the Lady Blazers.
14:4915 and serving 8.
14:53Benil up by 7 points.
15:0015 to 8.
15:05And then,
15:06they're laughing
15:07like the other
15:07Go to San earlier,
15:08they were hoping
15:09to come.
15:13Perpetual
15:14is just
15:15out of sorts
15:16right now.
15:18No communication
15:19on the court.
15:20Second technical
15:21timeout
15:22and Benil
15:23doubling up on them.
16:01Lady Altas, that's in line for them, watching.
16:05Of course, the students here, they need some support.
16:10Because the Lady Altas are looking lost here in Game 2.
16:17Peniel with their largest lead so far.
16:24Menor subtracts from that lead.
16:29And going through the blockers at that.
16:36Consistency is going to be key here for Perpetual.
16:39Basarte.
16:41It's a big deal for you.
16:42Undangan.
16:44Outside though.
16:47Although that one sails out, are they acting for a challenge?
16:51It's not.
16:52They're out new players.
16:57They let go.
16:59Okay.
17:0010-16, Fifi to serve.
17:04Basarte.
17:05To Bartolome.
17:06Drop ball.
17:08Jody brings it to Menor.
17:10Went back to their side.
17:12One.
17:12Same connection.
17:13Easy up for Chin.
17:16Clydel.
17:18Through the double block.
17:21Playing so simply.
17:23But, oh.
17:25Mike Ago.
17:26Former captain and MVP of the NCAA.
17:29Mike Ago.
17:30Mike Ago.
17:31Is there a lot of highlights?
17:33There are highlights.
17:34Is there any more?
17:35Maybe.
17:37Or professional.
17:38That's all.
17:39Oh!
17:40Nice swing.
17:41Cross court.
17:43That connects.
17:46You know.
17:48Menor is the most consistent scorer here.
17:51Oh!
17:52Former Finals MVP.
17:53Jim Menor.
17:54Next to serve.
17:55Jim Daba.
17:56Jim Daba.
17:57We're catching her.
17:58in an awkward moment.
18:00But that's her.
18:02It hurts.
18:04But it's not supported.
18:05It's not supported.
18:06It's not supported.
18:09Automatic connection.
18:11Well, what would you expect
18:13with Zam from Laska there?
18:15Oh, it's the same.
18:15It's the same.
18:17Maika.
18:18Wewe.
18:19Jade.
18:22Cloan.
18:23Two former MVP.
18:25Cloan.
18:26Mondonedo.
18:26And Maika.
18:28Lago.
18:28Of course.
18:29Mikes won it twice.
18:33In her five years.
18:36In time.
18:37In 18 to 11 now.
18:39For Benilde.
18:40Dominating.
18:42Perpetual here in set two.
18:44Better hit.
18:45Oh, God.
18:46Oh, God.
18:47Oh, Mipon.
18:47Challenging the hands of Zap Nolasco.
18:53Oh, Mipon has to be more aggressive here.
18:57And they also need to give her a little help.
19:00Definitely.
19:01But they also need to have even better reception and defense.
19:06That's true.
19:06Because they're not activating the middles right now.
19:08Or even the opposite hitters.
19:10Yeah.
19:10That's true.
19:11Drop ball.
19:12Oh, Mipon.
19:14With back-to-back points.
19:16There's no points.
19:19It's like she's going to Mipon.
19:20But you're right.
19:22Adding to the hardships of Fifi Ariola.
19:25The awkward and faulty first balls of Perpetual.
19:29They have no other option kasi but to give it to the open hitters because of their faulty reception.
19:36Oh, Zap Nolasco.
19:37Online.
19:41Eight points now for Zam.
19:46But Zap in is gonna challenge that ball in, ball out.
19:56Inside, outside.
19:58Bustamante is on the floor right now for Perpetual.
20:01Fifi's ball hasn't been given by Fifi.
20:05Oh, this is in.
20:06This is inside.
20:07Definitely inside.
20:08Yeah.
20:12We do not doubt Zap Nolasco.
20:16And her precision.
20:19We were talking about this off-air earlier during pre-prod.
20:22Who is the secret weapon of Perpetual?
20:27Someone really needs to step up in the team.
20:29We have a couple of new players on the court.
20:32Bustamante and Villanueva.
20:36One of them could spark a run.
20:39Oh, Mipon is trying to do that here.
20:41Already with three points in this set.
20:46Oh, Mipon.
20:49In a few sequences now.
20:52She has beaten Benilde's blockers.
20:56Lieses.
20:58Perfect pass by Lozano.
21:00Ito.
21:00Let's see, Mipon.
21:01Naka-ready na.
21:02Yung blockers from Benilde.
21:04One more time.
21:04And the adjustment.
21:06From Shai Mipon.
21:08Perfect adjustment at that.
21:10Going behind the blocker.
21:11Naka-ita niya rin na si Kataring was already going to cover that donut hole.
21:19Perfectly read by Omipon.
21:22And it's not a surprise.
21:23Cause Omipon is one of the beach volleyball players of their team.
21:27But what a service ace.
21:29Coming from Bustamante.
21:30Ito na.
21:31Si Bustamante.
21:32Baka si na nga.
21:34A secret weapon.
21:35Ito na.
21:36And they'll welcome that.
21:38Now, Bustamante had a few starts this year.
21:41So, this is an experienced player.
21:43On perpetual side.
21:46Almost.
21:47An overpass.
21:48Oh, naka-ready.
21:49Si Villanueva.
21:50Shai winds up.
21:52Bartolome.
21:54That's a chance ball.
21:56How will perpetual convert?
21:59Ariona.
22:00They go back to the half hand.
22:02But Peniel.
22:03Able to save it.
22:04The rejection though.
22:06Palacio.
22:07Comes in.
22:09That's from Geraldine Palacio.
22:11Palacio with great anticipation on that block.
22:15And all of a sudden.
22:16The lead is down to two.
22:19Ano, naka-rule.
22:21Wala ng power.
22:23Matitira.
22:24Wala ng power.
22:24Uto pa lutang-lutang dun sa gitna.
22:26Tapos di mo kukulin.
22:30Two, three, four, three.
22:44A 4-0 run unleashed by Perpetua.
22:48And what was once an 8-point advantage earlier, 16-8, is now down to 2.
22:55But could that time outbreak the momentum that Perpetua currently has?
23:00I'll see. Bustamante, though, staying solid on the serve, miscommunication from Benyud.
23:07And a chance for Perpetua, the 1-2 play doesn't work.
23:11Nolasco puts it down.
23:14They really can't figure out how to block Zap Nolasco.
23:209 points already. And again, when in doubt, just go to Zap.
23:27Who else would you go to?
23:28That's true.
23:30Oh, Jody had difficulty on that serve.
23:35Basarte.
23:37Tulieses outside.
23:39That one sails out.
23:41Of course, Jeremy already looking at the bench.
23:43Who asking Kaya Lieses to sub in.
23:46So this is the first entry for Kaya Lieses subbing in for her sister.
23:56Ashley Essence again, Kaya was your chosen best player of the match.
24:01She had, and rightfully so, she had a triple-double against Perpetua in the game number one.
24:08Wow, Dilya and Webba rising up for the kill.
24:13And these are the players who you need to step up. And whenever they are given chances on the court,
24:19it's really now or never for Perpetua.
24:24This is the first time I've seen her score by a spike.
24:29Service error.
24:31That's not good for Perpetua.
24:33Exactly what they did need.
24:37The momentum stopper via a service error.
24:44Shanae.
24:48But will they challenge that?
24:52Actually, Shanae was saying it was in, but Bartolome was saying no, it was out.
24:59So it's a one-point game.
25:02Of course, if you're on the team, you wouldn't want to waste your challenge right now.
25:28It was actually quite far from the hands of the blockers.
25:32But you'll just react to that, and you'll be able to hit the ball again.
25:41Woohoo!
25:43Service error.
25:44This is my characteristic for Vinny Elden.
25:48Back-to-back service errors.
25:51Will Perpetua reverse this set?
25:55A lot of things can happen. It's a one-point game.
25:59It's getting exciting.
26:00Shanae.
26:01To Clydel.
26:04Fifi is standing there.
26:05But there's no other way to get it.
26:10That was a wasted opportunity.
26:16Fifi did her job.
26:19But again, second ball was non-existent for Perpetua.
26:46You can't hesitate on this stage.
26:49You can't at all.
26:50You can actually feel the frustration that Coach Sandy had during that timeout.
26:55They really need to attempt, especially we are already up by the 20s.
27:06Better serve.
27:09Bustamante.
27:13Bustamante is shining in this set.
27:18Kudos also to Fifi Areola.
27:2422-23.
27:2622-23.
27:29Villanueva to serve.
27:32Pasarte.
27:33Choosing comes.
27:36One.
27:38Goes to the side.
27:40Bartolome with yet another point.
27:45Benil just wanting to finish this second set quickly.
27:50Set point situation for the defending champions.
27:53Two points to play with.
27:54The rookie, Bartolome now in double figures with 10.
27:59Jody.
28:00Good first ball.
28:01Umibon.
28:02Says not yet.
28:04Perfect one.
28:07They save one set point.
28:11Eight points for Shai Umibon.
28:19Tense moments.
28:20But this is still a one-point game, Martin.
28:23Yeah.
28:24Pressure-packed situation.
28:26That's the one-point game.
28:27That's the one-point game.
28:31Perfect pass.
28:34Zam!
28:35Ooh!
28:36Too strong!
28:37And we have an extension in the second set.
28:42Perpetual not going down without a fight.
28:47Climbing back from eight points down to tie set two.
28:53Yeah!
28:56Lorraine Lagmay.
29:00Cams!
29:01Oh!
29:02Pots it down!
29:03Bartolome with a booming hit from the middle.
29:08The rookie.
29:09This is a breakout performance for her.
29:12Eleven points in the first two sets for Cams Bartolome.
29:18But also, very faulty din yung blocking nila.
29:21They only, Benilde only has two setters up, two spikers up right now.
29:24But a service ace from Bartolome!
29:27Ooh!
29:29Cherry on top for Benilde and Cams Bartolome.
29:34Back-to-back points from the rookie to end set number two.
29:40And a service ace to give them the ideal ending.
29:45They're now up.
29:46Two sets to none.
29:48And they're one set away from going back to the finals.
29:49And they're one set away from going back to the finals.
29:51I don't want to do anything.
29:51Yeah, I'm away from this pair
29:52Yeah, I can't wait.
