00:00He's facing elimination. Benilde can go back to the finals with a Set 3 win.
00:08Good to have you with us.
00:10There's a lot of time here.
00:12Ooh! First semi-final matchup of the day. First game number two of the day.
00:18Bartolome. First rally of Set 3.
00:23And Cam scores with 13 now.
00:28Bartolome still with hot hands here to start off Set 3.
00:34Although I keep saying it's Bustamante, that's right.
00:39But they're like Camse. Camille is the same.
00:44Fifi goes to Bustamante.
00:49Backline to Lieses.
00:51Jody, she's going to give it to Omipon.
00:54Blockers were established.
00:57Bustamante tries. And she scores.
01:00And that is what Perpetual needs right now.
01:02Bustamante starting it off strong to get that first point.
01:06So, Coach Sandy Rieta rewarding Villanueva and Bustamante with more minutes to begin Set 3.
01:13for Perpetual help.
01:15Dahil kasama sila dun sa habol ng Perpetual ng preview set natin.
01:20Camse.
01:22Couldn't send it across.
01:23Is gonna be an ad-lib.
01:27Underhand pass.
01:28Easy up for Fiona.
01:29Christie.
01:31Christie.
01:32Vila Materiola.
01:34Villanueva rises and scores.
01:37What?
01:38Substitution.
01:40What a substitution game.
01:41Coach Sandy did.
01:43You have Villanueva.
01:45You have Bustamante who has been the fire starters for Perpetual.
01:50Second point off the bench for Villanueva.
01:54Agatigan.
01:55That was almost an overpass.
01:59Villanueva scores.
02:01Back to back hits.
02:03Back to back hits.
02:18For Villanueva.
02:20Providing the spark.
02:22And mind you.
02:23These were the two names you mentioned to me in our pre-prod.
02:26That's true.
02:27And Villanueva at least.
02:30She's been rarely used this year.
02:32Enrico scores on the quick.
02:35You just gotta step up when it matters the most.
02:39So Perpetual.
02:41Slowly rediscovering their identity.
02:474-1.
02:48Their fastest start so far.
02:51Bartolome.
02:52She lost.
02:53And.
02:54She continues to score.
02:58Also.
02:59Good job.
03:01By the league's best setter right now.
03:03This is Cheney Basante.
03:05For you know.
03:06Trusting.
03:07Trusting.
03:07Bartolome.
03:09She kept on feeding Bartolome.
03:11And she's actually the leading scorer right now.
03:13That's right.
03:14Usually it's Zamno Lasco.
03:16But Bartolome is already with 13 points in this match.
03:18Very true.
03:20Villanueva.
03:21Sends it straight to the net.
03:253-4.
03:27Inocentes.
03:28Is now in the ball game.
03:30Again, she got the start in the first game.
03:32Did very well.
03:32Scored seven points.
03:36Pustamante down the line outside.
03:39She's asking.
03:40She's saying that that's in.
03:44Although the coaches will not challenge that.
03:47So just like that, three straight points.
03:50It's by Benilde.
03:53To tie things up.
03:56Faulty.
03:57Reception.
04:00Chance ball for Benilde.
04:03They go to the middle.
04:06One more chance ball.
04:07One more chance ball.
04:08One more chance ball.
04:09Cheney.
04:10Is Juana.
04:11Was slowed down by the blockers.
04:13Villanueva will swing away.
04:15Down for her fourth point.
04:17What a game by Villanueva.
04:20She really is stepping up here for the Lady Altas.
04:25Big time step up.
04:27Embracing the moment.
04:29For Liz Villanueva.
04:35Drop.
04:36Easy up.
04:38Pustamante's turn.
04:39Get Tigan with the support.
04:43This is.
04:45A freebie.
04:48Areola.
04:49Taking accountability.
04:51With that set of hers that went over the net.
04:55Actually.
04:56When you're setting up to Villanueva.
04:58You really need to take it.
05:00Because.
05:00Especially you have tall blockers.
05:03In Benilde.
05:04So you need to give it a space.
05:06Yeah.
05:06Oh.
05:07Cross court.
05:08Cut shot.
05:09From Bustamante.
05:10Bustamante finding that perfect space.
05:14For that cross court attack.
05:17Four points off the bench.
05:19For Bustamante.
05:22Perpetual is back in front.
05:24Set up here.
05:25Soft touch.
05:26Nice save by Villanueva.
05:28But.
05:29It'll result to a free ball.
05:32Bartolome.
05:33Lozano.
05:35Jody.
05:36With the save.
05:39Here comes Benilde again.
05:40Omipon.
05:42Villanueva.
05:43Bumalik.
05:45To go back.
05:47To Liz.
05:49Gatigan.
05:50Sets up Bartolome.
05:52Gatigan.
05:52Kinaliwa.
05:52Malapit sa net.
05:55Long rally alert.
05:57Off speed doesn't work.
05:59Bartolome again.
06:01And she breaks through the barrier.
06:04Bartolome.
06:05Still having that energy after that long rally.
06:1115 puntos.
06:1315 puntos.
06:13Para kay Bartolome.
06:2815 puntos.
06:29Para kay Bartolome.
06:30Knowing that she's a player who has been contributing a lot.
06:34Very high risk, high reward.
06:36Because she's.
06:37Yeah.
06:38But you can forgive that.
06:40Given.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Her contribution so far in the match.
06:44She's been perfect so far.
06:46Yeah.
06:49Great block from Lagmay.
06:52This is.
06:53Another one from Lagmay.
06:56Oh.
06:57Three.
06:58Three in a row.
07:00For Lorin Lagmay.
07:02And for Ben Juan.
07:04Is first to eight points about this.
07:08A block party.
07:10Courtesy of Lagmay.
07:12When we return, we'll have Tati Austria.

07:50dominating two consecutive sets dito po sa NCAA Season 101 Women's Volleyball Tournament.
07:56Now, during their huddle in this third set, it was team captain Cheneva Sarte
08:00sharing some much-needed words of motivation for their final push.
08:04Hindi itong panahon para mag-relax tayo.
08:06May mga panahon na habol pa tayo ng perpetual, kaya ipush pa natin lalo.
08:10And it turns out, Minot's performance in this match is aligned with her vision all along.
08:15Nang nakausap ko siya earlier, Anya, hindi itong panahon para mag-slowdown.
08:19Kung kaya namin tapusin ito, tatapusin namin ito agad-agad.
08:23Naikwento rin ni Cheney sa aking kung gaano kalaga ang parehong manalo at matalo
08:27at sa dami ng kanilang pinagdadaanan.
08:29Ika niya, our growth is what we are holding on to.
08:32Though may tendencies kami to stiffen on the court, lalabanan namin ito with enjoyment
08:36so we can do what we came here to do.
08:39Martin and guys.
08:40Thank you so much, Daddy, for that wonderful report.
08:43Well, right now, of course, Cheney Basarte, talagang mag-all out siya this season and in this game.
08:48Currently, she has four rings on her finger right now and she's going for a fifth.
08:55Actually, she's the only player who has had four consecutive championships under her belt.
09:02Imagine, all of your years at the NCAA, you're a champion.
09:10And it will continue if they finish out Perpetual here in season number three.
09:18And she's done a great job as the primary setter as well.
09:22One-two play from Fifi.
09:23Ariola will restore the two-point advantage.
09:29What's amazing about this game as well, it's the battle of the playmakers.
09:34You have the number one best setter in the league in Cheney Basarte,
09:37but you have Ariola who is number two as well.
09:40That's right, number two.
09:40Correct.
09:42Number two best setters, essentially.
09:46And that's why they're here.
09:48Quick play from Innocentes.
09:53Nine to ten.
09:57Perpetual first time, actually, that they're in the lead.
10:00That's true.
10:01Oh, he's lost.
10:02Easy up.
10:05Bartolome through the blockers.
10:08Great eye by Bartolome, challenging the hands of Enrico,
10:11who was actually quite far from the net.
10:1816 puntos na, para kay Bartolome.
10:25Leases to serve.
10:28Fifi, back set to Umipon.
10:31Easily read by Benilde.
10:33Bartolome still having that point of her own with that block.
10:38But you can actually see the set was quite too near the net already.
10:42And again, if you have really tall blockers,
10:45you can't put the ball anywhere near the net.
10:51Fifi needs to adjust.
10:55Basarte.
10:56Back to Kams.
10:57And she scores again.
10:59Kams, Bartolome is on fire.
11:03A breakout performance
11:08for Benilde's rookie.
11:10And shall we call her a rising star?
11:1318 points for her.
11:16Masahin niyo sila kung saan gaya gilaw.
11:21Ay mo, ilang sunod yung sayo.
11:25Ay, just kajam.
11:26Kung nalilithya bilisan mo yung gilaw mo.
11:28Ah, sige lang, ano lang.
11:29Gilaw lang, gilaw lang.
11:31Gilaw lang, gilaw lang.
11:32Gilaw lang, gilaw lang.
11:384-0 run by the defending champions
11:43to take over the lead in the third set.
11:47And leading the way is Kams Bartolome
11:50with her 18 points.
11:52Kams Bartolome stepping up.
11:55Especially, you know what?
11:56Zam Nolasco is not on the court right now,
11:59but you have the main gunner
12:00still in the front row.
12:02She's been stellar.
12:04Rejection again
12:05from the Lady Blazers.
12:07This time,
12:08it goes through
12:10Delgadarig.
12:10And also for the Lady Blazers,
12:13everyone has been chipping in points.
12:16And as well as Sinead Basorte,
12:17in that first set,
12:18she had three points of her own.
12:20But something that we,
12:22I would say na fix
12:24nitong binil
12:25is their system
12:26in terms of defense.
12:28Although medyo
12:29broadcaster's chicks
12:30in that one
12:32as Enrico
12:33scores off
12:34a drop ball.
12:36Usually it happens.
12:37You know,
12:38when you mention
12:38and then
12:41happens differently
12:43on the court.
12:44Enrico now
12:44with five points.
12:46Ooh,
12:46service ace.
12:48In this case,
12:49two consecutive plays.
12:52Nangyari sa binil.
12:54Omipo,
12:55hot hands
12:56on the service line.
13:00Supper Pen 1
13:02closes the gap.
13:04But for binil,
13:05it's a hard
13:07kind of
13:07defense pattern,
13:09reception pattern.
13:10Dalawa lang yung
13:11main receivers nila.
13:12Bartolome is in the front row.
13:14This is Villanueva,
13:15off speed.
13:17Dorog brings it to camps.
13:21Fifi
13:21to Enrico
13:23who used two hands.
13:25For a drop.
13:27Yes, Enrico
13:28is not just
13:29going for her
13:30hard hits anymore.
13:31She's actually
13:32targeting
13:33those seams
13:34in the defense
13:35of binil.
13:363-0
13:38counter run
13:39by Perpetual
13:40to tie things up.
13:42Katarig
13:43returned.
13:45Bartolome
13:46returned again.
13:49That's no good.
13:51Bustamante.
13:54This one
13:55slowed down.
13:56Fifi
13:57to Villanueva.
13:59Rejected.
14:01Bustamante.
14:03Katarig is there.
14:05Bartolome.
14:06Oh!
14:07Scores!
14:09Bartolome scoring
14:10off the hands
14:11of the blockers
14:12after that
14:13really long rally.
14:17comes Bartolome.
14:20is having
14:21a game.
14:24And surprisingly,
14:26well,
14:26not so.
14:27She's still a rookie.
14:28Yeah, that's true.
14:29But she's coming
14:30from one of the best
14:31programs
14:33in the high school ranks.
14:35So it's not a surprise.
14:38It's not a surprise.
14:39So
14:40Batsha Enrico
14:41responds well.
14:48Impressive
14:49programs.
14:50They're going to
14:51get a collegiate
14:51like a veteran.
14:53Exactly.
14:53They're not too
14:54adjusting.
14:55And you're not
14:57fully committed.
15:00Already
15:01with her
15:0120th point
15:02of the match.
15:0520 points
15:06for Kams.
15:09Actually,
15:10the first
15:11she is the first
15:12player
15:13of Benil
15:14today
15:15with 20 points.
15:16Usually it's
15:16Zam.
15:18Villanueva though.
15:19Check ball.
15:21Holding her on.
15:22It's a Villanueva.
15:24Chipping in points
15:25of her own as well.
15:27But we have
15:28a double substitution
15:29here.
15:30Almeñana coming
15:31back in with
15:32Ga'a as the
15:33setter.
15:34It's been a while
15:37since we last
15:38saw Almeñana
15:40on the court.
15:42So

21:25Let's go.
21:26Let's go.
21:26Let's go.
21:27Let's go.
21:27Well,
21:28it's not just
21:29battle of
21:29the players.
21:31It's also
21:31battle of
21:32the coaches.
21:33Right now,
21:34you have
21:35these two
21:35veteran coaches
21:37trying to
21:37lead the way
21:38for both
21:39teams.
21:41Benioed
21:41already with
21:42a 3-0 run
21:43And there's just one set away, four points away, actually, from taking this game and going to the finals.
21:53So Almeñana is able to score.
21:58She has to come alive if Perpetual wants to make a game out of this.
22:05Arreola and Bustamante coming back in.
22:10Almeñana, Fifi is back on the floor.
22:14We'll see if she gained some new perspective as a spectator on the bench.
22:26Cheney, it's been given to Katarig.
22:33Omipon will try.
22:35Katigan is there.
22:37Katarig puts it down.
22:40What a hit from Katarig.
22:43Elevating, going above the blockers.
22:49Nine now for Cray del Katarig.
22:53And Benilde is inching closer to a finals berth.
23:01Omipon of the combination.
23:05Bartolome with the left hand.
23:10Bustamante back to their side.
23:13And Benilde has now established their biggest need here in set number three.
23:17Inocentes already with two blocks here in the third set as well.
23:26Next in line for the Lady Blazers getting some burn in the middle position.
23:34Fiona Inocentes.
23:36Here is Fiona Inocentes.
23:37Fiona Inocentes.
23:37And in the first game number one, she has provided some quality minutes here for Coach Jerry.
23:45And just Coach Jerry was looking for more veteran players during that time.
23:49Which, in fact, Ondangan really stepped up in the first semifinals matchup of theirs.
23:55But right now, Inocentes is playing really well for Benilde.
23:59On the side of Perpetual, it's been quite shaky.
24:04Although, it's a much better set right now compared to the first set.
24:08But they need, right now, they have good defense already.
24:13It's just the set-ups, I would say, needs a bit more improvement.
24:18They're, well, not getting their usual place.
24:23Especially for the spikers.
24:25And we've rarely seen clean hits.
24:29It's always touches.
24:31Or just drop balls.
24:32Yeah.
24:34So, that's not the same here in Perpetual Lady Alta.
24:36It's very hard to win a match.
24:38Against the defending champs at that.
24:41If you're not getting good looks.
24:45Was there a touch here?
24:47I think it was the ball that touched the net.
24:50On the way down though, we'll see.
24:52Ooh.
24:53There was no touch.
24:55So, 23-19.
24:59Perpetual.
25:05This is...
25:06Point and serve for Benito.
25:08Their identity.
25:09This is their character.
25:10You give them...
25:12A closeout situation like this.
25:16They deliver every time.
25:19But...
25:19Okay.
25:20Bustamante is not yet done.
25:22Bustamante is trying so hard to keep her team alive in this set with a really amazing cross-cord hit.
25:38Bustamante is one near the net.
25:40Fifi over to the other side for Villanueva.
25:48These substitute players of Coach Sandy for this game, they've been performing impeccably.
25:56The Magic Boonauts.
25:58Guilanueva and Bustamante.
26:02Gatigan.
26:05Clydel.
26:06Binuhay.
26:09Bustamante with a push.
26:12Bartolome will try.
26:14And she is able to score.
26:16Already with her 23rd point of the match.
26:20And it is match point for Vineyard.
26:2622nd point of the match.
26:30One point away from the finals.
26:35And to prolong their title defense.
26:38Oh!
26:39It's still up.
26:44And that's it.
26:46The finisher, of course, they would give it to Zam Nolasco.
26:51And the Lady Blazers are back in the NCAA Women's Volleyball Finals.
26:59Camila Bartolome or Cam's Bartolome is, of course, her best player of the match.
27:05With 22 points across her name.
27:09Dagdagan mo ba?
27:10Nang Pidong Diggs.
27:12And again, across-the-board production from The Rookie today.
27:32We'll fight to keep your glory bright, and never shall we fail.
27:42Hail, hail, hail to the R of all matter.
27:48Hail, hail, hail.
30:18The championship DNA as they sweep Perpetual in this semifinal matchup and they close out the series in straight sets,
30:2925-18, 26-24, and 25-21 to go back to the finals for the fifth straight time.
30:38And the five-feet bid is still alive.
30:42We'll be right back for the interviews after this break.
