can't wait to hear your interviews and all the other stuff that you're going to talk about here with the sidelines but we begin with coach ronnie uh usd is back while the lsu is back where they're so used to being in the final four it's good that the communities have come out and they're all excited for this uh matchup that's correct for usd first time in the final four in the last five years only remnant of their final four team five years ago latitude semi-finals but they've over achieved something coach conference and they deserve to be in this spot but right now they have to hurdle mount la salle a school that is in the final four for the ninth straight year and looking for its ninth straight finals appearance i think set up so i think uh final four going into the finals i think normal traditional final four and eventually finished the top spot for the third straight year twelve in two laban's field octopus at eight and six tell us to finish with 11 wins the three loss as well usd went once again from outside of the final four in the last four years to being in the number three spot accounting for nine wins in 14 matches to be able to cross into the semis seamlessly second round you know uh coach ronnie other than the number one team which is these are two of the hottest teams going into the final four you're talking about lasalle that uh almost swept that second round except for that last game against ateneo and then you're talking about the ust team that started the season one and three right and has won eight out of its last 10 to make it to number three and the psychological disadvantage though for the golden tiger says coach ronnie is the fact that they've lost both elimination round outings and that is something that they have to overcome especially against 18 which seems to us always imposed its will lavandi to say usd especially in the last two meetings if you notice in the first meeting [Music] the service aces [Music] that high for a very high scoring attack oh yes yes the second round meeting all in all lasalle has 21 aces compared to six parody to say usd in two games that they have met samantha alan young killed blackstone lasalle 15 love and supplies [Music] number three number four scorers in the league a powerhouse duo as you said but you also have to give credit to de la salle as we've said almost all throughout the season they are the best defensive team of the season and you'll see it in the numbers you're and we're piggybacking on what you were talking about that's fine so far right yeah so far only two teams have been able to beat lasalle this year twice they lost to ateneo and once they were defeated by yupita best convincingly going back to what pumas was saying earlier one of the best defensive teams in the competition number one in blocks number one in reception at reception but if there's one thing that usd has it is but one thing has to come into play for usd today effectivity no plane making nila infohardo at the top of the heap but right now for usd it's time them late play making for cabanas defending champions are ready to roar but so are the golden tigers and we'll talk more about them when we come back after this break [Music] it is a matchup between number two and number three today here saturday at the arenata colosseum the defending champions only need one win to get to the finals usd of course has to do it the hard way but they're back in the final four and that's what's important it's going to start the day for them if they want to win and force a rubber match which will be on wednesday let's talk about the defending champions who as we said are six and one in the second round that one losses that loss that they're coming from right now from their arch rivals coach running and so far for the second straight time lasalle will be frustrated by the ateneo lady eagles are first round eventually they lost that matchup and in their second meeting they won the first at this time versus ateneo before being swept in the next three sets all in all problems just to put it simply too many errors versus the lady eagles very uncharacteristic for the reigning champions but all that is passed hopefully for them they will meet ateneo once again in the title battlefield wesley has other things in mind they want to send the series into a sudden death base of congress we talked about masala and their defense we also know that they're loaded on offense they've got weapons all over but those weapons will not be utilized correctly if they don't have or they did not bring back this uh incredible captain of theirs who's really not only setting the table for the teammates sets the table for herself sometimes pretty much the most offensive center we have in the league right now no doubt he was the top she was the top setter last year in season 17. unanswered prayer given that she decided to play out her final year i call her the heartbeat of lasalle's offense name it she has won it two-time uap champion two-time best setter in the uav right now she is the best scottish setter once again to prosper to their ninth straight final appearance just was very inconsistent and she admitted it she was coming back from the injury coming back into the uav mentally all the social media pressures she talked about that before in the second round she seemed to have erased all of that physical standpoint mental standpoint she plays the game with joy and freely and she has more than doubled her productive production rather here in the second round and she was even named as a player of the week here in the uap a total of 103 points after two rounds but only 31 points at the end of the first round this palaron pambansa mvp in 2013 comes out of hope christian high school is only 20 years old all right reception efficiency at 43.7 percent second best behind john mccandelli and she no doubt is a two-way player was 45 lasalles floor defense to the hill top defensive team and more than any other time she's done a lot of interviews this year for and usually deserves it sometimes exactly that's right all these uh interviews with via escudero and we're gonna hear one again from them let's listen to it all right so tell us what can dlsu do to reduce the errors as seen in the second lost ateneo um so now dlsu was able to beat usc in both um games in the elimination round now what was the reason for the team's success um all right best of luck to you and the rest of the lady spikers back to you boom and ronnie thank you beyo we'll see both of them in action beya doing her work and desiree playing her game when we come back we'll talk about the golden tigers who are back in the final four a battle between number two and number three as we get things going here in the final four we earlier talked about the lsu let's talk about their opponents here in today's matchup the golden tigers ust their best records since season 75 their number they're back in the final four since season 74 that's the story but they've really also come up with gut wrenching uh character building and even emotional wins in this season none bigger than the last one against national university uh emotional because they made it to the final four after that win and they bucked an injury to ej right end of that match they defeated up three sets to none and then came from behind to bring down the mighty new lady bulldogs they withstood a monster game from the top offensive weapon of the lady bulldogs to score 30 points at the end of santiago they were able to get uh double figures scoring from four players led by the 22 of ej and twenty two of c7 i saw that game that you covered full of drama full of color down two sets and then equalizing in the third and fourth sets and in the fifth set [Music] that take over eventually the entire ust community celebrated the efforts of tin francisco three reminiscences and of course palm las tumosa and melatonin were all smiles after the final four uh finish reality tv at its best and i said it up front of the uab earlier kotroni that one of the secrets for ust this whole season is different players stepping up four players in double figures there in that match you mentioned cc you mentioned ej riley was big ten francisco was the surprise package and they've had that kind of players all throughout the season chloe contestant [Music] practice and there's no doubt that in francisco pulled through for a coach kung fu when the need really arose paradito is a prowling tiger in a city francisco season high 11 points and that crucial win labance and you only 18 years old a sophomore in general francisco a three-time champion in high schools [Applause] well you talk about backstories that girl that you're looking out right now is such a great backstory for her once a bench player once a who got player under coach oji mamon tama sprinkling of playing time and then this year as a captain and then she toes her team all the way to the final four and uh her name is really um she's got a ton of nicknames also and rightfully so she is one of the most entertaining intense flyers we've seen in philippine volleyball hashtag usd community a third year player from compostela national high school guantanado heartbeat she's the smallest among all the attackers in the top ten smallest among the top five scorers in the ap 191 points number six in spike percentage but more than that she is the fire to the eyes of ej energy may be small but her heart is huge and it's always on this way here in the game as angelique manto got a chance to talk to her let's listen to that [Music] so cherry from your last game you were down two sets bearing weekend game against lasalle now

looking to force a rubber match we're here at the ananeta coliseum [Music] and desert whose confidence is at an all-time high starts us off and welcome to it here on sna and yesterday hd easy take for d another one of those sleeper attackers for lasalle number 18 and squatting kim jong-un so far this year 117 points and religious stepped up to the plate in the absence of the new ceiling of course very consistent to it she's not about the numbers i think the upside is about timing when she comes up with those attacks it's very timely highly efficient him unable to save that allowed to get the although the lady spikers fell short ending that second round record with that number two that is certainly behind them especially as these girls enter the final four with a clear mission this afternoon now team captain kim for hard to express that she and the wrestling lady spikers are keeping in mind if this would work who wants it more so the need to extract the effort will be all up to them now in preparation for this afternoon's matchup against usd the girls said that given the two weeks it was more than enough time to recollect adjust their plays and improve on their individual skills because the key will be solely on consistency that they show on the floor so as we kick off this afternoon's matchup the lady spikers are ready to show everyone in the coliseum a more determined set of players and to play with a great amount of attitude more on the lady spikers later on back to you human ronnie thank you very much you came ahead by one rotina buys a crack in that wall and this is something that they have been able to solve the first two matches lasallian posing with 21 kill blocks uh stays with that ploy and we'll see what happens as francisco tries to unleash a bomb there fajardo gets it back lauren rejected sandoval who is also a surprise package for today in the final four a rejection from the usb club but it is out so that means it is lasalle point masala as we go at the end of season 7 in the final four and finally today is the realization of that promise brother wrote to its fulfillment proved to be a challenge woman coach ronnie coach kungfu had metaphorically compared their journey to a boat ride going through stormy seas equalling a shaky start for the golden tigers as the season to finding their stability and sailing rhythmically amidst a few more huge waves along the way it was through following their leader that they were able to synchronize themselves and with another huge wave along their way a full preparation was employed from checking in again with their sports psychologist to having intense trainings over which ej lauren had successfully joined in immediately shaking off her sprain scare from last game so coming to this game the coach's final reminders to the team having their first taste of the final four remain upload don't focus on the occasion just enjoy and play the game boom and coach ronnie thank you very much and i'm sure that's also coach goku's message to himself i really feel his demeanor has changed from last year to this year we've always known him to be that feisty army guy you know but this year it seems that when he says to have fun it also comes from him it starts from him the way he manages the girls is that it's been very different this year i think the relationship has agreed he has grown with his players right they have celebrated that maturity with the final four still but so far the match that's another thing that will be key in this matchup which one exact composure especially from girls who are experiencing the final four for the great oh yeah i'm pretty proud the pin yes this is the big stage keeps it up rivera will go back to rotina goes cross-court but it's wide and that is the biggest lead of the match lasalle ahead five five eight to three inside we have another colosseum and uh there's a wonderful player matchup that we're gonna look at here the open hitter the opposite spiker pianod the uh former or reigning finals mvp and of course the former captain of the golden tigers is ej louder scorers right now in the competition and two key players for the respected school center fit to make it to the finals a little bit over received cabanos oh they're not allowing your sleep on secondary points they're trying to impose their quick place for beating them more first 13 points this is a first ball problem which led to that the coach goku will call a timeout at the 10-4 mark six point lead biggest of the match okay foreign then four is our score error so far to both teams with two but uh it is the six point lead and the big score is what we're looking at right now continuously first service usd needed that break that's the lead to fight let's see if they will play better right now because lasalle seems to be a well-oiled machine even after a two-week break you know will never let down whether it's uh any kind of christmas breakfast between seasons but he's so well known for that you talk to all of the former players he's so well known for all of this objective stuff comes with this experience vast experience once again lasalle with the six point lead is allowing usd from consecutive points and they're continuing to play almost seamlessly on a couple of service errors to give a couple of points to usd now usc cannot make the same mistake that they did at national university start really slow it's it's never a guarantee that you can come back every time [Applause] able to get it through even with the low set 12-7 is our score we're part of making sure that usd has a hard time breathing that's also offense it's the free play back louder again and she goes there again this time with a little bit of the help of the net no one able to shout out i think the ankle is fine you look at uh is our sport dj trying to block it they go back to leary sends it to the other side easily fajardo able to make something out of nothing just understanding the strength of her teammates once again very precise with her passes okay tomorrow but somehow turned out still to be a good assist but he'd have to fight once more [Applause] so far she was leading usd with four points talk about the fact that laura and rodina have been kept at way by lasalle's massive defense i believe 12 points scoring average from the high scoring players lamazer depends on lasalle in the first two matches speed is four let's just say absorb the perfect first ball which leads to the perfect kill for majori baron and a gatorade spike of the game but again it is kim bardo really making things happen for lasagna and also getting the benefit of having the number one receiving defense return to sender and the usd lands pretty happy behind us as they cut the lead down the floor and this is something that has to be a constant for usd effort with their net defense they've been overwhelmed by the best laughing team in the first two matches but it can't spin over because off usd is down there as the seventh rocky embracing the opportunities given to them this year did not start today she's off the bench of course also has done a splendid job alternating at the final a rare first ball error for dawn and that lead is down to three courtesy of a pldt ultra fun serve from the always smiling arena because no taste of the lead tara people seriously so far from a high of six points at least it's down to three right now misjudging that first boy lead 16-12 tell us all ahead by four and the the aforementioned don the numbers that support this libero's job this year reigning best libero season 778 no doubt best foreign feeling it right now that is the perfect description very quick transition converting from details to offense is there a little warning from our first referee that is which on this case earlier a easy over well not an easy over but a free ball for lasalle saved there by lauren back rolls too low and that's a six point lead once again the biggest of the last and goes so full will call another timeout foreign i am the closer i used to call her the closer one of the best ever oh it is really one of the most unassuming killers the u.s has ever had continues the biggest effect of the match right 1912 usd they trimmed the deficit to three but once again the sales composure last experience coming into play rebounding with a cluster of poison right now seven points ahead and only six points away from winning set number one a movement the coach goes with it now off the bench replacing the starter carlos earlier the car goes to pakistan and usd has been scrambling here at set number one they've had moments but they could not sustain it it is lazar in the lead by seven press again sent back laura checks the defense lasalle with a chance they go for a quick duke it was there but that's four touches but not mistaken no crossing on the open side this joint at the back but they just cannot rely on the mistakes of the lady archers and they're going to come closer right now the deficit still stands at six points [Applause] kate is sent back [Applause] [Applause] has been strutting here in set number one it's always a sign of confidence when you see players doing that kind of stuff [Applause] he has not had a clean hit today so far again final four action is very different and uh nobody in this team other than family what's that so far not played as any kind of experience in collegiate final four as you see vanessa is on your screens who has vowed to come back next year also for ust with the delight of the usb packs it's good first ball right there and that's what a good first ball could do that'd be something that usd needs to do consistently for the last they have three 21-14 cece and alex cabanas are getting ready to check back in here for usd for one last run and down seven still alive the joust won by chang it has been a set to remember for des check tremendous effort coming off that pancake that don't seem to be car but usd kept its eyes on the ball and they made the necessary play to once again pull away with an eight-point advantage [Applause] [Music] with the reception what a play what would this direction play but usd able to save it easy over for lasalle the lead is eight make that nine after a touch fall on backrest down to eight and once again usd getting points off lasalle's errors but they have to be able to produce some attack points if they are to overhaul the nine point deficit 23 serving 14. some booze coming from the usd crowd now as a service ace is delivered by dez chang and brings them the set point it is a pldt ultra fun serve to be exact and a 10 point lead while asala is always when they have the lead well not always but more often than not individually blocking jousting digging and serving for the first set win and lasalle is up on the board but usd is going to try to fight back in set number two can't wait to find out what will be the adjustment for coach kung fu [Music] you're watching the final four of season 79 of the week uap women's volleyball tournament match number 57 is between the number two seed and defending champions de la salle university who got set number one over the number three seed the usd golden tigers boom gonzales coach ronnie magsano will take us through the numbers and once again lasalle with a quick lead to be able to put pressure on usd usd tried to respond they cut the deficit eventually to just three but once again lasalle was able to build a very comfortable cushion and glue to an eleven point win in the first set massive disparity in attack points and look at the kill blocks the best blocking team in the league imposing once again it's double effort with their net defense usd needs to rebound they have to stay close if not build the lead because in the first set it was a wire to wire wind down the lasalle made the archers that of course got a stellar play they don't see the snh one of the adjustments that we were looking out for is for coach kung fu and now he brings in chloe cortes to come in here in the second set i think the absence even in terms of our conversation we haven't mentioned reviews a lot right in that set number i think that's key for lasalle especially against a la uh sorry for usc especially against the lasalle team that is keying on these open hitters of usd right now this will be a total of 26 kill blocks in two matches boom that's reaching seven wow louder with four it's just completely going back to uh the vanessa's point that we're making you know and over she's uh tallied 20 points in her last uh two games ten of which are coming from kill blocks offensive blocks so that's how big the number and remember that big win against nyu that's how big a factor is is last year they were also 11 and 3 when they won the championship the year before they were 12 and two and of course in season 76 that 14 and audio unfortunately now all right let's check in with bayan from lasso boom and ronnie earlier as i spoke to team captain kim jong she even followed up by saying that before the season began the ladies fight was because they really know that yes they have a lot of youngsters and kim was going to be key for this team for what is our score early time mark for usd foreign [Applause] ronnie a while ago you have mentioned how the taxes composure will be the key in their match today and indeed it is one point thoroughly focused on by coaching food during their trainings just like how their tendency of filing consecutive errors should be broken as early as now coach mufo is not even going to accept unfamiliarity of the atmosphere and noise as a valid excuse as he even employed the yellow jackets to train with the girls frustratingly coach kungfu exclaimed the pressure does not always rest now on the shoulders of the seniors but to each and every single one in the team those two players on the floor right now and families are on the bench if they lose the name that's it for their uav career and they don't want that to happen exactly they have to fight hard fighting even harder lead down to two [Applause] [Applause] that's what we were just talking about at the start of the second set really has to establish some sort of presence right there at the net it's very hard to read the passage of king card but somehow you have to try it and right now usd who's only had one kill block in step one already has two offensive blocks because i set number two part of that final 14 season 74. miss receiving sends it to the other side rasmus cabano [Applause] and that's why i think right now coach because lasalle is already loading on these open hitters [Music] you know a little bit and that's why you mentioned earlier [Applause] but [Applause] [Music] [Applause] such [Applause] wow jim's unable to get a hand on that easy over for usd what are they going to do they go in the middle francisco has sent back one more try open ej easily takes it oh i want to play sent back by usc again he puts it away and gets a high five from coach reveal best rally so far here in the second set unfortunately for usd once again going in favor of the dallas algae arches we're back for more final four action here in the uap women's volleyball tournament about to come back next year but before you can even think about next year your focus has to be for this game to extend the season and vanessa's has to be more of a factor especially with the way this game is going right right major contribution will be on the defensive back and hopefully averages two kill blocks per match 28 like i said earlier 20 points in the last couple of games half of them off offensive drops right so crucial as francisco this by the lady [Applause] 13 players so far he has gone deep into the well cortes with the save and the dive and that point has to be half credited to the senior chloe cortes who did not give up on that play which set up ej laura is put away look at this mccree hits the replay showing the effort of the senior from out of nowhere the double efforts of our touring cortes made the ust [Applause] and that catches the line this is a good strategy for these open hitters for trotting if they're not getting through the block which is so tough for you they're trying for the long balls here and once again helping out that last point which by the way is a skill [Applause] sent back open cc too close to the net gets a reaction right there will they be able to save it no no to keep that ball alive once again the south defense overcoming i don't speed farthestly really or rather that again maybe we wouldn't have seen last year that's gonna be part of the first tonight again a team that started one and three [Music] one eight of them ultra fun sir eleven seven the lsu is the number two team ust is the number three team ateneo number one nfu and that is going to be another barn burner tomorrow at the mall of asia arena live on sna just a quick segue patron we've said that this is the most competitive and unpredictable season we've had in years in terms of the kind of competition and the way the games have gone right as we see fajardo here going down the line and lauren rejected at the net from the back line let me ask you when was the last time you saw a team or two teams that started four and zero three and zero the other team european enemy did not make it to the final four this didn't happen you know final four into the semi-finals oh that's it and a bomb unleashed by cc yeah just a joy to watch oh yes the flight number 16 and look at that's very space that she had to operate once again going to zone one going down the line but they're still behind by four the pardo talking to fernando velato right now [Applause] you guys always talk about the key number to the final four eight nine eight safe cup for a play office yes there's four wins away you're five of them it's just a testament up and down for yui adam the kind of competition i mean now that we get the final four going we have to tip our hats off to all these girls all the coaches all the teams who are really entertaining us all year with some fierce elite college competition here in just like that it's back to a six point advantage that's reaching back on the service step the lead again is at six [Applause] just like to make it clear usd they're playing well yeah it's just that lasalle is playing on a different level right now right now they have to step it up and much higher so the usb has had spurts go through it right now as you see is they kind of contain the spurts right another [Applause] [Music] clapping and laughing at the same time at the effort of his girls some things we would never see of course today also we're coaching but the last couple of years has mellowed down also here make no mistake about it you know no matter how the coaches have evolved here and we've had some great set second coaches this year oh yeah of course at the helm of course is coach working on this already going into the second decade of his reign high school and again this time finding the back line was kiana d and they maintain a six point lead for the lady spikers [Music] [Applause] we come right back with the c500 best play of the game here on sna and kiana d in that opposite position silent but deadly very quiet willing to take the backseat to champs for the leading scorer of the archers that's the thing i don't know all throughout this season you talk about you talk about chang of course but consistently it's still her he leads the score right silently with a couple of points here this is the point that we're trying to make right it just changes things for usd it depends now she's always been a soldier for usd in her five years whatever the coaches mean from here that's what she's always been happy right an energizer bunny [Applause] and an easy over they [Applause] [Applause] was there to pop it right back up ej cheng keeps it alive at the sideline right now tremendous rally between usd and de la salle he was rushing our second referee let's look at that [Applause] oh that stopped that is tough to see from our angle coach rodney what do you think let's look at it from another angle [Applause] is convinced after the replays that that already was a dead ball and here comes oliver mona our second referee talking to her [Applause] they're naked are they going to stick to it they're going to reverse they're going to reverse and now it is coach romill's time to look at fernando velante and here's a replay again [Music] hit the ball hit the floor it's so hard to look at so [Applause] this may be a crucial point also for trump this might be a better angle oh there you go that's an angle that is better one [Applause] could be an emotional rally let's see who will respond ej fajardo sends it back at the net ej ej goes cross court but he says i'm there no [Applause] boy emotions are high here let's listen to this crowd [Applause] all fired up this is a wise timeout [Applause] by coach ramil to bring down the emotional you know coach ramil is trying to put a stop at the emotional peak of this game right now this is the highest we've been here [Applause] you cannot be carried he knows he's seen it all coach roddy obviously he's he's coaching his 309th uaep match so he knows that this might be a crucial turn around here in favor of usd emotionally especially oh cortes was and there they're able to beat the defense of chloe cortes hindi making sure that they get this last point [Applause] easy over for usd riri vanessa's been and we mentioned it at the start of the second set for tronic was a non-factor in the first set they dropped the first set 25-14 five points right now for the reminisces some kill blocks some at that point and that nice nice uh rather that last slight play cut the lead once again for two points but it's a point nevertheless and now that huge lead is down to one and meneses three of those five points here in this set and the bench of ust i'm sure even if some of these players like cabanas and pacres has not seen action today they don't mind because right now they are within slipstream of lasalle and a rare service error [Applause] return to sender critical points tight points you have to be able to come up with this type of winning play and how big was that time out by coach very big very big yep it's nothing like playing at this part of the year uh and being in the venue as the energy levels and intensity levels go higher and uh we have another one tomorrow don't forget feu number one and number four our number three team and our number four teams are teams that are struck who struggled at the start to act to i know accentuate your point finish strong right is the most important thing who gets the credit here it's ej though all right [Applause] [Applause] lead [Applause] [Music] it stays with usd here [Applause] disappointed with that offensive play fardo we'll go for the offense and they're not going to call that they're going to call a point [Music] [Applause] number two somebody went through the net and it is the car and that emotional high has already gone down lasalle able to pour a little cold water over the rally this was a play [Applause] only three points away from having a two-set advantage see how long this second set was planned long and exciting is not one to give up absolutely down to four they were down by two sets they came out playing with fire eventually overturned a two set deficit but right now see seventeen full sword on usd not giving up actually when you think about that new matches or those 80 matches they were down one set the first round one the next three they were down two sets in the second round so they have come back in abilities unfortunately their service errors have piled up here all in the second set three of them coming in the second set not going to help here come back his aspirations like points [Music] [Applause] has space to breathe right now oh yes they re-establish correct six point lead coming mostly from and force errors on usd and that's a double uh black [Applause] [Applause] combination play and it works they save one courtesy of cc rodina was still going to chase that fight [Music] had two points in set one and then dalek now for this one [Applause] and this time two set points saved by usd so far not giving up continuing to stay in the hunt and i really believe that you cannot because if you lay down and die at this part but now making sure [Music] [Music] [Applause] getting into double digits and in terms of championships of course nine championships 15 appearances 309 uae beat matches son don't even get one [Music] [Applause] right now they are a set away from stepping into the finals again usd with a great fight a better fight here in set number two but those errors kill them in the end kill their own momentum but it's never over it takes three sets to win a match we will be back [Music] we're back inside here at the smart arena coliseum 25 14 25 20 is our score the lsu with a two sets to love lead over ust in uh this final four matchup of number two versus number three and lasalle is a set away from going back to the finals on usd trying to forge of course a rubber match on wednesday for the right to get to the finals and they will have to do it the hard way from behind some highlights from an amazing set number two especially from an emotional an action standpoint we saw a lot of uh great plays offensively defensively great team plays and great individual plays of our set number two and really the fans got into it in that set number two they were always into it from the start of the match but it really apexed so to speak in set number two how crucial was that timeout at 16 14 by coach ramil to kind of calm down the girls coach running for coaches the right cease fire perfect timing and uh i was able to calm the nerves of the lady archers and eventually we're able to pocket or rather set point slight advantage [Applause] but the block points once again working into play for de la salle and it has been a not so secret weapon of the dallas arcane archers versus the efficient and multiple attackers young growling tigers has nine points to lead the golden tiger says with nine rondino with seven the nessus with five three of them coming in that second set balek with a point cortes with a point they'll need more contributions from vanessa's to trying to defuse this defense of lasalle because right now and i also have to emphasize that seven air force errors for usd both of them in the end game and that really hurt their chances to overturn the two-point push at 16-14 from 16-10 right [Applause] there's a basketball valuable at transport and as i said in that last game in the frenzy school name has really been uh tied up to usd for a very long time [Applause] there's another flash here that flash here at the left side here at the coliseum he's still he's still at it actually and now he realizes [Applause] [Music] spotlight cortez stays here for usd that's off a thick fingertip and it bounces in zone number one and ej has been going for that uh coach ryan and let's see if dj and cc can get going early here and try to push ust to at least a two or three point lead la bazaar de la salle put perfect pressure on the sun early because right now what we're seeing of you is the first to get into double figures of either team and as you mentioned in our pre-game her and cc coming off a 22-point performance right 44 points in both of them against national university as we check in again as always with bayo boom and ronnie when asked what their biggest challenge was coming to today's game they spoke with no hesitation that it will only be themselves given ample time to really reflect and look into every little detail of the errors in the past games the ladies mentioned and now is the time to put their best foot forward and to play like the defending champions that they are but in order to do so put your milk so skills as it and to keep comes fight inside whatever situation that may be we're only one set away from securing a spot in the finals in season 79 the lady spikers have no plans for slowing down now because the real battle begins today so expect the girls to give the same momentum and to keep the attacks coming over at the green side exactly especially that your team is a set away uh and a usd now with the lead three one to start set number three leary vanessa's earlier with a point balak with some contributions here the middle players coach running pointing out they have to do something here for usd so attack points and then an offensive block one point [Music] [Applause] that is out so that means usd gets their biggest lead off this match for one and speaking of usted is usually all fired up but it was decided to see him sit down and calmly almost pleadingly talk to his girls boom and coach ronnie that could have been the pivotal moment for the girls but alone fought from coach rice's your support staff happened losing sex means the team is in doubt of themselves so according to the first step the support staff's presence should be more felt for the two words wondrous for the team last thank you foreign oh his way of not really putting pressure on on the team but and he said already everything that he could say and then they said you know just put more effort that comeback started with that and he's trying to use the same uh trick here remember really they're number three here odds are really against them they have to win twice against lasalle and they're the lower seed there lasalle is expected uh in this matchup so pressure should be on the lady spikers and i'm sure coach kumpu is really trying to counter that and saying you know there's no pressure on us let's play our game we have our game plan let's do what we have to do we'll work for them against them correct right now i win here in the third set we'll have the usb community explode but now the de la salle has to fight hard we have to chase down what was once a five-point advantage and who do they go to of course once again fajardo goes to [Applause] biggest lead of the match for usd 5 at 6-1 and it's down to 6-3 now [Applause] it's very high enough for the blockers to close down that wall again it's just open attackers [Applause] unable to put it away [Applause] rj rivera and kim will usually go for a quick here and she does but my baba oh [Applause] i won't speculate here but you know they had a collision and she instantly cried he's pounding the pavement right now right it's the ankle and it's a full twist but i'll always say this again you know you'll take the ankle over the knee because i coach any time and i know she's obviously emotional and crying right now because again the first thing that the girls think about already acting [Applause] and this also happened in that match versus [Applause] now a well-loved player by a lot of schools a lot of teams obviously the stretcher is out and the full twist of that right ankle and here's the thing called ronnie that's the same angle and you know more than the pain more than the pain goes ronnie it's the ability is that the thought that you can't play right now in this game obviously if there's an extension she might be able to play as you see the emotional mom there the dad has seen it all in this experience now here's an interesting part timeless is in for the very first time remember if ufc loses today that's it also for her collegiate career as you look at pj lowry really just suffering they're also icing her knee right now trying to put a little bit of an organization here on the bench [Applause] the lead is with usd [Applause] let's see if usd rallies behind this and look at lasalle merciless opportunistic thinking i'm sure they watch that game versus anu that win by usd they secured the next point right away cutting the lead cuts to only three they have to be as much as they probably love and respect ej and ust in general they have to be merciless at the point at this point as ron tina rises and puts it away the captain has to step up here in set number three the leaders four for usd the drama continues here on sna [Applause] back inside the smartthought at the coliseum two set lead for lasalle is getting ready to check in for assad you just joined the cj lowry goes down on an injury a right ankle injury and here comes chloe cortes one of the graduating players for usd [Applause] now this five point lead down to three eight five the biggest lead was at six one at one point four usd taking two of the last three points goes out with 11 points steve has nine for herself over received [Applause] ardo opens up to luna wow nice save there by rivera long ball for chloe that was nowhere close to the chloe cortes ust has won a total of 15 titles so far in history just behind the 29 of the lady [Applause] good intention but this one is a little wide to the left to attack errors paradiddles and usd that's the need to only one rondina tried to swipe that ball away from the blockers rather through the hands of the blockers cortes misreceiving that one and coach kung fu is looking at the scoreboard this is tied at eight all three straight errors parity to say usd [Applause] medina goes to her launching pad taking it luna touches the net that is a usd point nae muna could not control her momentum after mahadelia you see here nine [Music] [Applause] ust off speed against the two-man wall assault equalizes once again at nine points a piece fresh off the bench from las timosa would be their final game if they don't uh end up winning in this match the seniors are actually there cortes and cabanas chance here for lasalle again luna adjusts rivera keeps it in play cortez from behind [Applause] [Music] good dive there by pam [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] attack that ball still oh wow what a point for us that was a run in here look at that execution from cc look at this run look at that look at the athleticism of this girl unbelievable slams the door so we're tied at the end and that is the case right now she is in the spotlight that's a good angle for maya and luna difficult cut shot tough shot with straight points paradise usd and really you can say that cc regina has to really take over paraditusa lady tag this is the running and it's a double contact for pablo [Applause] [Music] this is the tightest set that we've seen so far first time also they've seen usd hold really you know good look at how good that uh ankle is taped it's perfectly expensive [Applause] there's a net touch from the lasalle player it is the kim fajardo she acknowledges it how big was that for family this is a huge emotional boost in the confidence bank for the super senior but oh yeah [Applause] nothing scripted in this uh in this game quickly korea and again it is back via the foot cortez is slammed oh what a point for lasalle perfect timing once again it once again just proves that lasalle's defense stops in the league [Applause] it easy over for lasalle we are tied at 12 barons with a quick attack once again king fajardo going to bajo aggressive majority delivers beating the smaller blocker she's actually the first uh player to be in double figure for lasalle at 11 right now majority sorry let me check that d is at 10. perron is at 11. there you go two players in the both figures cortes also blocked vanessa's goes back to her again going for the long ball this one's a check ball that was false usd hanging in there making something out of nothing oh look at that look at that she's putting on socks how invaluable is it [Applause] [Music] well he just gave me the look here i was asking if he was going to play it looks like aj lowry is going to try to cut this one out and i'll always say this about injury especially ankle sometimes injury looks worse than it because the crying is not from sometimes the pain it is from the fact as jameson gives them a two-point lead here at a crucial part biggest lead in the third set we let the crowd soak this one in for a [Applause] while chance of ej boy or the parents must be feeling right [Applause] what about pam a good minutes to coach tonku he scored one the lead is two for lasalle stays in the ust side laure fajardo d cut shot rivera will go to ej ej launches and gets the points first point shins coming down with that ankle sprain it seems to be a little bit of a problem with the lift but other than that technique-wise and the heart is okay the hardest chocolatier to play hard enough the fact that she's there for trolley playing i think the heart is very much okay [Applause] oh that's a that's an error waiting to happen so we're tied again at 15. usd hanging in there fighting for their final four lives those straight points upon the re-entry of ej laure an attack point and then a point coming off that passing error when it comes to kim fajardo i mean how big is her heart in the you game she refuses to be taken out in this game she refuses to be sent out the stretcher and go to the hospital or at home she's going to stay and play it out cortes [Applause] regains the lead at the second technical time-out 16-15 panic at the banks are golden tigresses this is the injury that happened kiana d over steps e.j lowry re-injures the right ankle i think this was an eight and four our score of course right there if you okay quickly coach ronnie you'll be the best person to say this to to answer this question just for the history of the younger ones tell me about the quickly the career of eddie laurie how is he as a basketball player a lefty smooth poker face uh incredible basketball actually a [Applause] [Applause] and ejs they get a two-point lead it's restored here courtesy of cece rodina mccree's instant replay yup a two-point deficit third into a two-point lead and the captain trying to rally the troops here except number three instead of playing uh chase down volleyball and that puts pressure on the de la salle the archers but once again the service errors the unforced errors that killed usd in set number two that can't occur once [Applause] again [Music] [Applause] acknowledges it back to a two-point lead and here comes the subs for coach kung fu vikar and pacquis is this desiree check yeah they've been they've been working on desiree chang for remember he also is one of those recovering from an acl comeback try to get a report that dez chang has not played for a while here [Applause] also my luna is getting some playing time i saw dina the captain now is humming rodina has gotten into double digits cc makes them play cc and usd with a three-point lead [Applause] a good two hours before the match she was really really very nervous very tense about today as [Applause] so far yet rondina though has been solid better blocking here they go back to luna alec was there luna libre all has really played well in you really you're right here's what coach mcgill is going to do also he's going to put in michelle cobb right now serving which turns kim pardo another attacker the lead is two for u.s five that must be adrenaline too it happens i think i see cj saga getting ready also at the sideline for lasagna very tight rotation arches [Applause] rotation [Applause] this is only a two-point lead usd has got to buckle down if they want to extend this one this is a crucial point of the third set of [Music] [Applause] [Music] how about her 11 points now slowly getting a rhythm you have to admire cc vendina the smallest member of the top 10 attackers a heart high percentage that's her number by the way 16. and that attack was stopped as she went left and then jumped right at the opposite side [Applause] luna is set back but it's still alive [Applause] so the report is according to bayes cadets she suffered a little bit of the cramps earlier [Applause] applauding the effort after that gatorade spike in the game and they said that was the missing link between not making it to the semis and making it to the final four they may have been right but right now they're still three points away from pushing this match into a fourth set you're not yet out of the woods 19. they're looking for an extension here lasalle is looking for a final stint and the mom looking on may be more nervous than anybody else here [Applause] how crucial has vanessa's been she celebrates big stop perce i met them a couple of games ago both of them and they're so happy that the ust is back in the final four the community is out to support also alice on the attack on the opposite side [Music] now that she goes back in the back line she goes back as the setter they have [Applause] that's a great strategy by fardo to go to ej laurie why not try to test her her mobility lead is down to two ust trying to hang on it's a big moment for usc right now could be a potential three set points for them or nassau can trim the deficit to only one which puts so much pressure on them now another down two sets this is what masala always does to their opponents a lot of people saying prayers here at the araneta coliseum medina with a faulty first ball they go to ej ej that is an error a keynote who crosses the line coach was actually asking for double contact on that uh play let's look at that not this one [Applause] they go to ej ej cross court but he was there tianzon saved by rondina and a set point saved by lasalle terrific effort coming from cc but that was not enough looking to close out looking for one good first ball [Applause] tension levels ratcheted up in final four no question cultural [Applause] misreceive but ej makes something out of this lasalgo on the attack [Applause] [Music] on the other side it's still alive at the ust side rondina and here come the lady spikers they're down one coach who's still complaining about something what do you do you know what it is running not really also coachiani we're talking to fernando velarde but you have to play the next point yeah lead down to one two set points same young lady archers majori serving short serve abandons with a chance to die dee sent back just at the net it's still alive oh what an attack by tim zone was that a one-hand set by fardo tremendous composure shown by captain king fargo scramble play almost a one-point paradise ust no blocker inside and suddenly we're dead [Applause] ust now gotta dig deep here 24 all [Applause] and palak wow they get the lead back and another set point for them it was nothing narcissism but camanos went to pollock with delivered another set point for adidas usd but coach really trusting you know [Applause] [Music] chance for usd at set point cabanas calling the play rodina in the middle puts it away and usd is still kicking listen to this crowd usd their hopes still alive volleyball fans [Music] okay [Music] so [Music] the reality tv known as the uae final four continues the drama continues here and we are on to set number four early lead for usd ronnie at six and one the injury at eight and four to ej lauda just adds more drama to this game she comes back and again credit to eddie lowry for a fantastic uh if any other teams there professionally are still looking for a tape man he's available but in all seriousness um what did usd do right tactically other than the intangibles of staying in there and cutting it out and having heart tactically what did they do better to stay alive in this manner well i thought that wonder floor defense was solid to their block their blocking was also efficient and number three sicabanos but i thought that she was a very good playmaker especially in the end game for ust going to multiple points of attack and her teammates delivered of course led by uh the fiery cc vending and for a while lasalle imploded committing too many unforced errors and characteristic of a champion team but remember that they lost also destruction for a time while she was being treated but right now they have to understand that usd is for real and they don't want lightning to strike twice because [Applause] in the comeback five-set win by usd versus in the last match after exploding in the first two sets so we are still looking at her then we're still massaging her during the uh during the quarter sorry not the quarter break but the set break so we're on to set number four two sets to one team uh seat number two against seat number three in the final four gonzalez coach what more do you describe how more do you describe getting to the finals [Applause] a rotation error for usd they were actually talking about that already prior to the start of the fourth set now they give a free point to lasagna and speaking of lasalle let's check in with theirs boom and ronnie over at the huddle coaches has repeated over and over again that the third set showed a weak lasalle team that easily gets distracted by small things now as mentioned earlier demon ronnie the girls would mention that the biggest challenge coming today's match could be themselves and that was once again brought up by coach ramil himself who explained that the heirs are not with their opponents but rather with the lady spikers and he did urge the girls to make the necessary adjustments in order to avoid forcing another separate afternoon now as they face the tigers just once again in september 4th the lady spikers were told that if they really want this the girls will play for each other and not give this game away and that is exactly what we could hope to see from all six on the floor that's you being ronnie and this is a good start for your team up there because where they want to be to be up 4-0 in a set number four and this is something that usd was not hoping that it would happen because in the third set they had a very good early lead then four point earlier in the fourth foreign they wasted the momentum that they had at the end of that third set coach and now they're down four remember what you said earlier usd has to build an early lead put pressure on lasalle force them to make mistakes third [Applause] and they still cannot get a point here they're down five and now some subs coming in or at least one backrest will come in let's see for chloe cortes [Applause] the same right ankle twist but not as full as the one we have seen in the set that has been only on the same ankle but just like last game ej proves that her heart can overcome any ankle screen or any pain for that matter amidst balling on the court being a true fighter after minutes of icing her ankles ej had already shaken off this brain and jumped with her ankles not wanting to give up she's even supported by her father who had personally taken the reins and taping her ankles now this should serve as an example to the team as they extend this match proving that their hearts are the toughest part of themselves and it all should start by overcoming the slow start they have in this set women coach but right now as we fast forward here usd gets a point off a service error 6-1 this is where we were at in step number three right now usd needs to fight back quickly try to score consecutive points right away the archers [Music] [Applause] this has come alive the last couple of sets lasalle seems to be stuck right now uh sorry usd's feet of the player seems to be stuck right now it was does that happen that the emotion from this third set yeah [Applause] and this is an eight one lead by lasalle going into the technical timeout back inside the araneta coliseum getting into another finals appearance a great saturday crowd inside tomorrow we all go to the ball of asia arena for number one versus number four ateneo of course the twice the big team in that matchup and likewise eight one awesome men's competition of course and you will play fu having uh he tries to get advantages now this is the biggest lead actually the biggest lead of the match correct once again captain kim finding decrease in the defense right in between two receivers that's the best service efficiency and they don't want to happen in this critical time and it's all service aces too the loaded serves of assad foreign usc has got its work cut out for them as the lasalle fans [Music] [Applause] look at that she bits into double figures highest scoring setter so far this season reigning best setter ten total points that's and that's the lead [Applause] osmo will come in it's time for digging as larry will serve the good news for ust though is that this is in the first half of december [Applause] goes [Applause] and this ball is still playable double or combination play keanu that was a [Applause] [Music] she carried the tigers through the third set when ej lauder went down [Applause] and turned around for usd none of the seniors on the floor right now for ust [Applause] fajardo [Applause] the direction of the ball change jack ball lead is eight now the biggest lead they had to come back from earlier was six [Applause] how many likes just does that have the tag this is a show have shown that they can come back sounding again but this is a difficult situation that they're looking at still as eight points and that won't help she hasn't really gotten the any kind of rhythm today we scored the winning point for usd and that uh la paz and you and all part of parcel probably is being a baby in the final four there's nothing like experiencing it for yourself cece goes to the runway and that's out and now back to a ten point lead as we go halfway through this fourth set [Applause] and we said it earlier after the first set you can't make it a habit not always trying to come back because [Applause] reception problems unforced errors [Applause] [Applause] it continues to crumble for usd 12 point lead at 16-4 and the faces of the usd golden tigers uh say it all there's an urgency there coming back after the injury first sat down graduating students sure they're a little bit angsty right now not angsty but a little anxious rather would be the better word because uh our uae careers are slowly closing continues on this rampage uh they're standing on a slippery slope right now as the rampage of the archers continues 16 [Applause] and again that service of los alas really served them well here in set number four and they have exposed the weakness of usd punishing the reception efficiency of the lady tigers the lead is at its biggest press [Applause] staying in the moments having the coach [Applause] free ball give it to lasalle with a 14 point lead double quick there johardo says relax chang says i'll take care of it and ej giving everything she has on that chase down usd left to be defending scrambling championship four came into play here in the fourth set [Applause] is [Applause] finals appearance in for coach ramir it will be his 16th chang it's wide you can afford a mistake here and there a rare mistake here in the fourth set of bakers doesn't lead to lady archers [Applause] good decision by ej let's go for applauding that not giving up as maya luna will come back maybe maybe this might be the last time you see here there's chang here in this match depends on how this one goes they have a 12-point lead [Applause] hamstring area this is the problem when you are behind by a huge double digit spread six i believe yes six service errors in this match for usd that's all that's seven of them [Applause] except number four uh good reaction by cabanas luna off speed vanessa is there obama's will open up cc is back this girl will never give up he will never stop fighting [Applause] [Music] good first serve or good serve rather by robina and then the easy over for them that off the fingertips [Applause] the line [Applause] oh [Applause] oh serving [Applause] it's a free ball from the side that's miscommunication between her and uh just didn't get the ball high enough to respond usd at least getting headway it was at 194 earlier there's the winning uh seven of the last nine points a coach no matter what happens here in this fourth set your season will get a major location from their crowd and deservingly so for the year that they've had [Applause] right now they're still fighting but masala is three points away from another championship experience and appearance and another chance to defend their times season 79 top settle right now once again turns into an attacker he fired his scores another vital point 11 point for the archers have grunted to eleven a soft serve by luna ej pulls out its way out two points [Applause] fight [Music] [Applause] just [Applause] away from winning this match and once again getting into the title battle piano d is back closers are back from the side [Applause] and we are at match point here the number two team is a point away and we'll wait for an opponent goes to his bench and shakes everybody's hands [Applause] that's it him saying congratulations to the whole staff for the job that they've done this year [Applause] also doing the job that they had to do and get back to the finals sparklers massage to [Music] [Applause] are going to give one they think [Applause] the hard door that is in and goes back to the finals

the ust side coach kungfu a spectacular job this year bringing usd back to the final four pam las timosa alex cabanos chloe cortes says goodbye to their uav careers and it was a pleasure covering
