[Music] two [Music] [Music] oh [Music] big [Music] all roads lead to the araneta coliseum for game one of the finals in the women's volleyball tournament of season 79 of the uap and the finals has been dominated in the last five seasons by only two teams and despite today being a hectic tuesday people are flocking in deep captains gia morado and kim fajardo they have a heavy load on their backs to try to bring their respective teams to the promised land it's game number one of the best of three between the lady eagles and the ladies spikers and six straight finals between these two teams and nine uh ninth straight finals appearance for dlsu and what a historic moment this will be for the fans who made it here to the venue that is what is on tap this tuesday afternoon brand new month but the same old rivalry and thank you for watching us on sna channel 23 sna hd channel 166 the filipino channel and online at sports.abs.cbn.com livestream slash uaap eric du pont alongside coach ronnie maxino we'll be talking to our reporters denise desai from ateneo and escudero from dlsu good luck ladies but coach ronnie these two teams they've put together such a great program that for six straight seasons including today they both have made it to the top to contest for the championship and there's no doubt that these two elite schools are the yardstick in terms of competition in the women's division and they have frustrated the sixth other school in being able to gate crash a spot in the finals in the last five years only this the school from katipunan and from topham squared of course had to head out la manassa saturday in the last five years three championships to the two of ateneo we'll talk about history in just a little bit let's bring you to the here and now the road to the finals for these two teams it was littered with opponents but they dispatched their respective ones immediately de la salle winning versus ust de la salle having a twice a bit advantage versus the tigers who were able to get into the semi-finals for the first time the last five years but even if lasalle was in the eye of the storm versus usd they were able to get to the finals with a three one victory versus usd on the other side of the draw atonement made sure that they will not be taken to five sets by fbu if he was hoping to get that uh series into a decider hindi again it is obviously very cliche uh and we use that all the time but we throw away the statistics when it comes to a match-up between the lady eagles and the lady spikers but we have to go by history and based on their uh matchups this elimination round ateneo has dominated lasalle and in great fashion four sets in each of their two meetings and this is where athenaeu will try to draw inspiration by the way they were able to come from behind as they were able to get past lasallian four sets in the first meeting while also being able to defeat de la salle in their second round matchup in the first round meeting de la salle had the upper hand in the first two sets but eventually ateneo disallowed nassau from winning each of the first two sets and eventually nothing of frustrated lasalle and was able to bring down the defending champions in four grueling sets has been a dominant force on the offensive event but it was catalantino who was the difference maker for ateneo in that win pursuit of going now to the round two meeting too many errors for lasalle in that ground to match up as a whole they had 67 total unforced errors in the first two meetings second round match-up angela but in the last three sets it was jules zamonte who provided the the difference and she was the game changer for ateneo as they frustrated de la salle for two straight times the first two meeting stila this season 79. well mitch morenta you mentioned her 39 points combined right those two meetings for her meanwhile akiana d with 15 a piece support those players i mean both teams both defenses will try to nullify the effect of those players right now essentially kasama erik it's going to be ateneo's depth and offense versus lasalle's precious [Music] defense in the last five beatings in the finals lasalle had a 3-2 adventure has a 3-2 advantage that's 55 chance of winning the finals versus ateneo and uh we look back since season 74 uh and how it has gone down for these two teams in the last nine years only four schools have managed to win a championship of course lasalle uh in that category but right now lasalle is looking probably for their fifth title or sixth round in the last nine years ateneo likes to regain the title that lasalle took away from them last year and fdu at ust was in the hand was in the list of title holders in the uav before the stranglehold happened paraditus and this is the checkered history between anthony and de la salle in the last five years something that ateneo aims to rewrite and something that de la salle wants to write the same storyline in their bid to defend and regain rather defend and frustrate ateneo in this season and they do well here in the finals all right we'll take a quick break and when we go back we're going to break down ateneo and the lady eagles and how they did in the volleyball departments in season 79. back here at the araneta coliseum for game number one between ateneo and dlsu let's talk about ateneo and how good they are we mentioned this already coach ronnie how good they are offensively and serving but they do have some aspects that they need to improve and can't be exploited by the lsu in this game number one ateneo has the best offense so far and the competition they've proven that they are one of the tougher teams to be simply because low dead and dimming points of attack and of course excellent playmaker india morado right now we talk about ateneo's game versus fu they disallowed feu from dragging them into another fight setter here's this match that saw ateneo sort of fight that riptide throat thrown at them by a field mitch morente led the way in scotland with a total of 16 points followed by johanna marginot who had 14 points in their comeback after missing the last two outings ateneo survived the double-digit outings of ponz and remy palmer accounted for 26 of the total uh point production of fu and it this game it i think it did not just rely on their offense because i thought that in the last two sets fdu that only was able to beat ateneo in september three but therefore you had a chance to turn that match around but eventually voice composure championship experience set in for ateneo and they were able to finally shut the door and nephews campaigned the season and they actually even avoided a five-setter which they wouldn't take versus was tough and of course see dina wong was also there to save the day for ateneo and once again they were led by the composure and resilience and stability of giamorado now we mentioned the offenses take a look at the numbers of ateneo and how they rank in uab season 79. season 79. after the double round emulation right now 37.8 we'll talk about their spike percentage number one in the entire competition return in terms of blocks with a total of 23 kill blocks throughout the day so far this season number five silent two of the top players right now didn't talk about service races the game has to be really at a high for ateneo in their battle versus assault but they have a superior weapon in terms of offense in gmorado likewise we talk about reception and of course dinawal will try to help out they don't see mitch morente in shutting down the offense of the lsr let's take a look at again the offense of ateneo we really put a spotlight on that and how they performed versus feu okay their final four meeting uh you mentioned morente not to miss two games uh because of a knee injury and that baya deleon who has been consistent all throughout the season and these are the top three scorers for ateneo so far this season mitch morente is a 12 and a half point scorer so far for ateneo in that match versus fbu she had three of ateneo's eight aces plus one kill block 22 year old player from pw jason's eternal massive john number two scorer for ateneo this year with a total of 146 points that's almost 10.4 points per game for the 21 year old della salipa uh [Music] 146 points for this third year player hola mansa veda learning center well these are the ladies that need to be defended by a dlsu here in game number one if they are to try and limit the production of ateneo yes and this will be the points of attack that lasalle has to watch las alas to guard six to eight percent of the attack points of ateneo in that queen versus fu came from this three explosive players now we mentioned the achilles heel of ateneo is their defense more especially their libero situation and they have been trying out uh different players after giselle tan they have diana wong who's been manning the uh defensive end for ateneo as they are currently ranked fifth in uh floor defense there's no doubt that don mccandile is the barometer in terms of the defensive stopper to watch in the last two years dina wong will try to help out jason as the defensive specialists for ateneo versus final four but late in the second round it was already dino was able to help out the floor defense of uh atheneo and versus evie and the semis she had 30 of the total stops because of dicks 50 in terms of ateneo's total excellent receptions and she is going to be an ace defender that will be looked upon as a possible defense maker to be able to match up well with don mccandily of the de la salle lady archer well we've got uh denise denzel who spoke earlier to wang about the expectations and uh the game plan today game number one for ateneo dina last game against you know against feu that was your breakout game and you're only a sophomore and then after that you've adjusted your role as libero how did you manage to do it um i think practice long talaga every day tapos believe in yourself and have confidence okay and now knowing that you you know you beat lassal twice during the elimination now what's your game plan for today's game um i think uh mindset number is to focus on winning the championship um no expectations foreign have teamwork focus and let enough confidence thank you dean i'll see you at the game later back to you eric and coach ronnie all right thank you denise uh no expectations coach they they're not trying to put pressure on themselves they're looking pretty cool pretty relaxed for a team that's about to uh do battle game number one well coaches will always try to deflect and try to minimize young anxiety level expectations and whatever it takes in order to bring the title parody to ateneo well we'll talk about the ladies spikers when we come back right here on [Music] sna [Music] welcome back to the araneta coliseum our venue for game number one of the finals between the lady spikers and the lady eagles and people continue to pour in as we pack in the big dome for the big game on a tuesday afternoon and we've been talking about ateneo at length already let's put our attention to the lady spikers good afternoon everybody and uh coming off a quick finish of their opponent ust in the semi-finals or final four match-up that they had lasalle was able to survive the firestorm thrown at them by usd five players scored in double figures for lasalle in that twin versus ust rondina had 16 laureate 14 meneses had 10 for a total 40 points for adidas usd but eventually tin jamswan was able to help out major baron hindi and destroy chang as king fart was the fifth player in double figures for lasalle in that win by lasal vs ust 29 or 28 of delisle's 99 points came from their kill blocks it was a block party for the salt that shut down usd's offense to only 27 percent a slight hiccup for de la salle in that fourth set within luna they were a little distracted but in the fourth set lasalle was in cruise control as they took out any chances for usd to overturn that 2-1 deficit in terms of set count and is that blocking that really kills all the other teams the uap that's just one of the three uh aspects of volleyball that they dominated to lady spikers of the lsu coach ronnie and these uh these figures will definitely be one of the things that lasalle will lean on as they take on nathaniel lazar's defense has been unparalleled so far all season long number one in blocks number one in reception and there's no doubt that majority baron d and of course dopa gonzaga will anchor the net defense for lasalle versus ateneo's little points of attack courtesy of jia morado but we talk about rankings as setters number two morado and season 78 top setter that's a game fajardo but once again john mccandly will be a force to record with in terms of reception nassau's defense will help to work harder in their bid to finally get a game away from matinee remember the winner in game one will move themselves only one win away from being home the crown this year and this girl we talked about her defensive tenacity and don macandidi has been the benchmark of defense you mentioned that it uh see coach rabil desu has nothing but praise for makandili saying she is the person that the coach points to when players look for inspiration any of the dallas our players look for inspiration throughout season 79. last year stop libero also was named as the best libero in her playing years when she used to play foreign floor manager a defensive specialists who try to beat the biggest thorn in ateneo's top offensive ranking 30 percent of lasalle's number of digs versus usd don mccandily and likewise 30 percent of her team's total reception a fourth year player only 20 years old also a top candidate for a spot in the national team come the southeast asian game and when you talk about blocking three players have dominated sophomore duke ogunsanya last year's best blocker major paron in last year's best setter jumps into the mix to help lasalle be solid defensively at the net 27 percent of lasalle's 99 points came from their kill blocks gonzaga with six majority baron with four came for hardy with three are in the top 10 in terms of uh ranking factor things atop lockers when sanji had six of her nine points coming from kill blacks major baron but four for 17 points coming from kill blocks sikkim pardon the man joined the block party scoring three kill blocks out of the 11 total points that she fired paradise lady archers and obviously you look at this and if you're an offensive player you're shaking in your knees because you're wondering how you're going to get your offense through that but that is you know strategizing now let's uh go to beia escudero she earlier spoke to duke about the adjustments that lasalle will make after losing to ateneo twice in the eliminations and then facing them here in game one all right so dookie how will the team adjust this afternoon after falling to ateneo twice in the elimination round um we had time to address in our mistakes like we have to um think faster during the games and then um finals so is the team more pumped now coming into this finals especially since defending champions of course because we need to defend the crown and then we are more determined to to get it and we want it more more than them all right best of luck to you and the rest of the lady spikers dookie back to you eric and ronnie all right thank you maya it's nice for them to come in here as defending champions uh coach ramil de jesus last year was eleven and three coming into the finals but overturned pink and came out as champions so coach tyboon did with a 12 and two win-loss record after the eliminations will he be successful and come back to the finals in the championship in season 79 game number one set number one coming up right after these we present with pride the women's volleyball tournament's grand finale this is game number one on the best of three series in your season 79 u28p the dream finals officiating this championship game our first referee julinosa international referee [Applause] our second referee chains oliver national referee [Music] this is the sixth year in a roll dear meeting in the finals let us now meet both teams beginning with the antonio lady eagle number nine anna gopiko number 10 cat tolentino number three michelle morente number fourteen pia de leon number 15 johanna team captain number 12 they're starting libero number seven she sail [Applause] and now starting for the reigning and defending champions tell us the ladies spikers number 13 azuki oven sanya fair look gold order now well i've heard from ronnie malapas this is the dream finals and no surprises for both coaches they've got their strongest lineup to kick things off in game number one coach ronnie offense for ateneo defense for lasalle that will be the premium today let's remember game number one last year ateneo was the number one seed 12 and two win loss record lasalle number two seats 11 and three win loss record but lasalle winning game number one of the finals that's correct it took uh three matches last year for uh the title to be settled and eventually lasalle was able to beat ateneo in three games in group two winning their ninth ground in team history ateneo stated two has tasted two titles since entering the uap in 1978 season 74. finals but the last five years or the last six years has been a special moment and of course ninth grade finals appearances quick point for parole she puts away the over receive and going back to your point coach ronnie for ateneo nine final four appearances since the final four era in season 56 but for lasalle 18 final fours since 1993 and nine championships all in all in 23 seasons and if you're thinking no that's nine championships for lasalle seven for fbu five for usd and only two foreign [Applause] in terms of coaches in terms of knowledge in terms of teaching the game and future bundy has been able to develop himself into a difference maker for the mayor in the last few years and for more about ateneo we can go [Music] now the fans and our viewers are no stranger to these three words but today they will be more than just the battle crime of the athenaeum lady eagles but they're minded as well coming into today's game throughout the whole season the girls played happy happy because they played for each other and love of the sport eric and coach ronnie that one week break was very much needed by the lady eagles because they needed time to heal physically this afternoon back to you gentlemen all right thank you according to uh the players they really even for lasalle that the asean and the labor day weekend coaching was a big ripley for them because they allow them to heal injuries minor injuries and respiratory practice even for the coaches and for time to prepare and that's why we expect a lot of fireworks during this first game given that uh [Music] both offenses moving extremely well they're all fluid the fans are loving it the 3-2 lead by the lsu all the three points of lasalle have come from madrid right now she has outscored the entire team good entire start for de la salle looking to hold on looking to fight back looking to take the lead away and that is a plea the ultra fun serve playing in her final season obviously she wants to go out with a bang let's go to veya escudero american coach ronnie finding themselves in a very familiar setup the latest fighters are entering their ninth finals appearance with a different kind of attitude and a whole lot of motivation now as these girls go head-to-head against the ladies fighters mentioned to show their full potential as a team but more importantly to play for each other we don't argue tron this afternoon it's not just a normal game for the lady spikers because it is also the countless the last few games of the team captain kim fajardo here in the uap and speaking of him she expressed that she is only focusing on keeping her feet strong mentally and giving proper direction on the court so this afternoon we can expect the lady spikers to play with all hearts and dedicate the set in the last few games of the team captain herself campbell more on the lady spikers later on back to you all right thank you uh in the beginning actually i think she was saying that she she wanted to come back she wasn't sure of coming back for their fifth and final season but she came back for the players and now the players the other players are returning the favor and trying to make sure that they she finishes they finish on top but a bunch of errors here also helped by gopiko and her serve and her excellent looking to be more stable with the reception being the best receiving team has catalantina and veda and has fortified the front line here for oh what a tremendous defensive stand at the net but finally d on her third attempt punches through de leon and filipinos blocking nazar's leading scorer former mvp in high school last year's finals mvp 30 points in two matches versus ateneo hitting scorer for lasalle this year against lasalle rather 15 points a game service long for last year's best blocker and going to that to those stats from last season coach roddy it would be difficult for lasalle being despite being the number two season for them to lose last year against ateneo having the finest mvp having the best setter having the best blocker best bigger best receiver i mean they had it all even though they were number two seats but they again they overturned it to the finals and won the championship it was a different lineup remember for lasagna last year they had nickel yes they had sydney [Music] [Applause] [Applause] for the lady eagles here's d attacking valentino picking it up she seems fully recovered from that rightly injury that forced her out for two games the tail end of the elimination takes us to our first technical timeout leading by two h6 versus lasalle set number one former lady spiker chakrus enjoying the action and obviously cheering for their respective teams unfortunately you mentioned the different look of lasalle coming into this finals without their key players also for antonio without valdez and they are obviously trying to prove that there is life there is feature there is success without elisa valdez for uh for athene was fully transitioned quickly after eliza has left the nest there's a mcree's instant replay and according to jim they were ripping off for season 79 because [Applause] but they're trying to prove that they're no easy push over despite that and i think that they turned the page after uh figuring in the finals of the collegiate conference of the v league last year they come back [Music] deficit we're tied at eight good set number one we talked about the fact that players coaches at ample time to prepare them for both teams executing so well against each other the third is wide second one for lasagna in the first set earlier it was uh and now it's indeed with another service error remember we mentioned earlier the top of the coverage 67 errors combined in the first two matches versus ateneo and that cost them dearly versus the blue eagles [Applause] fajardo good saga with the tip well nice dig by brente macantini kept that one alive free ball for ateneo morado fajardo picked it up back row attack james again they get it through us came up short on the return first 18 points were tied up nine points apiece teams trying to identify the weak link it's a defense the more than that very sharp players in [Applause] defense by the lady spikers attacking this gopico she's rejected [Applause] what an exchange early on in set number one night all oh spectacular save by morente fajardo that's returned again both teams showing great floor defense here's mariah [Applause] that is the longest rally so far that we've seen here in the first set but more than that that is the kind of effort that you will have to bring in consistently all throughout the course of the finals diving sliding scrapping for every dig and then able to put away still made an attempt to bring it back in that's how tenacious this little girl is but what an ace there for morado giving ateneo their biggest lead once again infoheart morado not only are the top two setters in the last three years but they are also the highest scoring setters and the best serving setters here in the competition aloha 34 accidental 35 sikkim you correct coach ronnie displays that magnificent bld the ultra fun serve yet again biggest lead of latinea right now points prompting coach jesus to call a timeout [Applause] take a look at the form and now the ball travels across the net just making it difficult as well and identifying a probable weak link it's a receiving lasalle right now with three service aces that's all with one lasalle [Applause] [Applause] yes [Applause] scored five points versus the first round hitting did not play in the second round match-up versus lasalle we just saw noel marachi not the bomb of joanna sorry let's look belly and she scores an ace four service aces for the lady goes against the top receiving team right now [Music] [Applause] here comes [Applause] looking for a czech ball will not be given and again the rallies are becoming longer but ateneo's floor defense also solid this allowing assad for finding the whole increase in their defense esme luna early [Applause] [Applause] luna played well in the finals of season 78 had some critical points in that win by lasalle one of the biggest names for lasalle [Applause] also a multiple champion for the dallas lady archers if you think about it through 29 straight finals exit season 70 season 7 since they started going to the finals unbelievable 16-13 that's a three-point lead for the lady eagles over the lady spiker set number one there's a showtime spice on your screen of course right of course uh vice versa that went to fdu always with effie was competing in final four last season of course he was always there speaking of mpu women's division 29 championship right the if you're talking about last nine years i was actually last 23 years nothing but aside nine straight finals out of 23 years lucky break here no coverage of the deflection by ateneo but instead that ball decides to drop out luna scoring against a double block first point off the bench and coach ramirez saying he wants this more for the girls as they try to prove that they can also move on without nada without pika without sit that that they can win for themselves and that's why what motivates him to get these girls to the top that is always top of mind for coaches everything they do for the school and the players of course as major baron commits another service error that will be the fifth fourth or fifth service ever for lasalle in this match so far what an angle for d as she starts to warm up but you've got to commend the serving coach ronnie and these two two a days to practice seems to be paying off with these spectacular serves unfortunately just too good on the attack that is the first line of offense something that you were in control of [Applause] down to one big fight back for lasalle always quiet extremely efficient [Music] soft spoken type but knows how to win [Applause] at the start of the set let's see if the lady eagles can take advantage what a play they drew up for the same decision no touch whatsoever as it is another free point for attorney and that attack but she failed to connect [Applause] another strong attack as d after she seemed to have gotten her groove coach ronnie a couple of errors for her and now it's back up with her biggest lead of four time out here by dlsu a [Music] foreign [Applause] and [Applause] find themselves sitting beside each other uh chang fires it in it's picked up and she has the third time she scores this is now the biggest lead of the lady he goes at five to the delight of the ateneo bands biggest lead five points c 500 best player of the game so far and anytime you give up so many three-point sail attack errors and service errors [Applause] you've got to admire the athleticism of joanna again no knee problem whatsoever attacking jumping back up keep these scoring against a single block of paragraph but the damage has been done that's right looking to fight back later in the first set good misdirection by kim jong kindly needs to find more points for de la salle she is the top attacker for the sun all year long what sir but what a great save by giselle tan okay picks it up [Applause] university checks in [Applause] 23 points for the dallas algorithms also seeing action in the field oil that's right from that mistake uh a loss that's why you played the pre-season to fine-tune your uh entire package still keeping the lsu within striking distance set number one wants to talk things over as you take a look at that last point by the lady spikers [Music] my [Applause] one of their strengths today within three and this combo of coach ramil jesus conspiring to not only shin the deficit and slaps into a series of attack hammers right now right now i see i still see people just walking into their seats here after spending so much time in the queue outside of the iraneta policy hail end of set number one 23-20 biggest lead of ateneo was six lasal led by just a single point early in the first set another long rally in the making dan sets it up the former setter now turned libero [Applause] [Music] gatorade spike of the game from joanna maraguino redeeming herself after a couple of errors and nathaniel needed that and that last attack point coming from one of the best quarters in this year's competition is pushing antonio to a four set point advantage versus [Applause] and it will require a perfect three rallies for lasalle in their bid to lengthen this first set well this is the closest the lady spikers have been in a while three points but again like what you mentioned ateneo shows the point away from closing out [Music] and that hurt them allowing ateneo to control the tempo be more confident on their attacks and carve out a 25-21 win in set number one versus the lsu set number one of game number one in the books ateneo winning 25-21 versus the lsu let's take a look at the numbers and break it down the early lead versus ateneo but early service errors and inability to be precise whether attack attacks or spikes did them in 11 of ateneo's 25 points coming from lasalle's unforced [Music] [Music] all throughout the course of the year blocking and receiving for culture [Applause] but still no effect goes running it didn't spark the offense it didn't change the tempo and again the 11 errors hurt them obviously as you see another b elite the ultra panzer and this is what we want to point out the serving about the nailing set number one continues on how solid it's been and you know such such a benefit for them on offense as they you know kick off a game every time you have the first line of attack working for you chances are it puts pressure on the defense right away but remember lassals major strength on defense is their receivings right number one they have don mcconaughey they have desolation [Applause] they sprayed their service and they gave up a lot of points service errors as well [Applause] unable to get it through there's goes long as we check it with the east inside that they are one but each of them are different parts represent different parts and they must all be the best of their abilities so that they can win snapping this is all about being in sync with each other and having open communication on the court more about the lady eagles later gentlemen back to you all right thank you denise you've got to command the way she's been distributing the ball and uh using all of her many offensive players there's a a checkpoint fight he didn't want but because seems like there was step number two that's a good break for the lsl and now they tie this match at uh two points a piece here in the second set [Applause] not allowing themselves to be in a deep hole early going into this game one i think coach revealed this knows for the fact that ateneo is the best serving team i believe has at least 29 more aces or 19 more aces after the two rounds scoring there it hasn't shown yet that improvement that all that practice in the reception and let's see the adjustments after losing set number one of the lsu as we go to bay leading up to the finals the lady spikers did not waste any time and focus on reviewing old games and kept their attention solely on their movements which they say may help them as they enter game won this afternoon now tintin's unmentioned that she and the girls are using their back to zero mindset because like she said it's anybody's ball game this afternoon now given that this is the sixth finals match in the blue and green the defending champions are more determined and eager to go home with good news but they are reminded that this goal will not come easy and in order for that to happen the girls must learn to keep the camp of their game consistent and show a smart and fierce theme inside that's all for now back to you boomin all right here's prince rivero ben and bottom checking out middle blockers are they expecting to really propel her team in terms of offense they need her to be more efficient they need her to be more consistent primary point of attack on offense and likewise imagine us to recover her bearings that makes legendary after starting out so well for lasalle scoring the first three points for lasalle in the first season of the [Applause] good catch the quick explanation by vanossa first referee to give fajardo but the point is awarded to ateneo and they lead by one five four set number two another good serve gets it up by two very shaky first ball once again for de la salle and to think that destroyed is in the top 10 in terms of reception efficiency suddenly a 45 the first ballpark all year long to give up that nice pass [Applause] foreign [Applause] nearly 20 points per match versus lasalle this one to come back in mitch morente brings was not a part of our ateneo last year looking to help out ateneo regained the crown from lasalle rare service error for ateneo who's been on point the service area the entire first set [Applause] way that was going through believe it or not that is the first offensive block for lasalle in this match they have none in the first set of gonzaga team fajardo had about 29 [Music] versus the eagles game number one of the finals attracting so many personalities u.s ambassador to the philippines [Music] we just had a drink of water because of the hot action you're seeing here at the arnetto coliseum also so many people watching from all over the philippines right francis of course together with uh something together with butch ramirez that's right [Applause] we pray for your quick recovery sir perfect connection between team fajardo and one of the best fiddle blockers little flippers because i think competition major baron now on top of its biggest margin here in the 72-point league matches the biggest lead of ateneo in set number two morado they go back that but just enough force to be able to beat the big defense of our king good reception underhand set for fajardo wow poured it all in right there but just went they had four service aces out of the 25 points that they scored in the first set from the baguio city national high school out of tarlock that's playing in her fourth season for the lady spikers wow another great blue format everybody knows that's in her arsenal but you can never really be prepared when she does it mcfree's instant replay twice in the first set her dumb plays were she defended well but this time she finds the donut in the defense of pilasan second best spotting setter this year from san agustin a four-year player only 21 years old and many time member of the national team already not again that is long well folks would be asking for a check ball and he's pointing with someone but none of the lions judged and none of our umpires saw anything for us we have the benefit of the review but for our two referees and our lines man [Applause] [Applause] going to their big gun two players collide in an error committed by lasalle we are tied at 11. three points unforced errors they have to be at a minimum just to make sure that you stay close to your opponent something that lasal was not able to do and you've got to you know imagine and think about the what ifs go johnny and uh for lasagna what if we can lessen our errors and where would they be in set number two that's why uh hindsight is the perfect site but you have to stay in the moment recover right away rebound place right away and move on to the next play or else before you know it he's outside going outside outside so we're gonna say yeah i'm sorry another explanation for a similar play from first referee race right now pointing at someone she takes one after a committed [Music] [Music] another deadlock at 12 more ronnie a few service errors by ateneo here is set number two that's why it's it's been a close one compared to set number one correct and this is where lasalle gets three points this time coming from ateneo's unforced error so that's why we're tied right now with 13. quickly rejected both teams with four service errors here set number two off speed by morente and this is what you like about the attackers about today you mentioned morado and how good she is in terms of setting up the office but again also these these players they have an arsenal of styles and ways to set the ball across coach running and he hit up with the blockers found a way to get it through and from a difficult angle as well take another loop here excellent back set by key bohardo the chamfer tight once again at 14. oh service long for the absorb this is the part of the competition where you have to temper your emotions because sometimes you tend to overdo things if you're a little bit too excited comes with [Applause] point right back five service errors apiece and we're tied at 15. almost impeccable serving from happiness at the resources and need as high as seven points but not here the second set that's all benefiting from maternity service errors as uh michelle trump is a designated server right now coming up for the archers a walk-in uh rookie cop and the future of lasalle's playmakers yeah could be how good she is she does the setting right now even even though kim bart is in an oh what an attack that's a pipe play that scores the 16 point for ateneo as we head into the second technical timeout back here at the big dome for game number one [Music] as they move themselves only one win away from a three people versus the hard fighting engine and if it turned out any other way earlier so johnny that would have been the first loss oh yes [Applause] gets their biggest lead again two point seventeen fifteen makiana comes in this is the part of the set after you reach the second tactical timeout [Applause] [Music] defender good pass coming from [Applause] yes rare do you find an attacker attracting three blockers or a triple block when you go back to the time of elizabeth it takes a triple block to be able to stop a superior attacker at that time beating the triple block giving ateneo another two point advantage poor reception from shang as maya deleon gets a pld number two foreign me coach ramirez wants cop to really call it out define the place so that there won't be any confusion but that's up to the office that's one reception is a 41 [Applause] she was able to identify that cheng was moving forward leaving the gap during the zone one another ace another point over a c over a lucky break continues to be flustered in the last three sequences three straight the problem and that even the best receiver can salvage the second ball paradisa made the archers and now the lead is at its biggest and it has balloon to fight for the ateneo lady eagles [Applause] magnificent serving so far ogunsaya gets it to crawl across the net [Applause] has to be able to fight back chased down a four point advantage service has to be precise defense has to be solid they needed to score but they throw away any sort of tiny momentum that they build with these errors and we talked about how they minimize their errors at the start of set number two but they're back to their old ways again 67 errors in the first two matches combined 11 errors of the first 25 points by athene in the first set with the spilled over here all the way to the second set for lasalle morado goes to mourinho this time fires they're a check ball looking for a check we're looking for a touch [Applause] including second referee oliver mora another missed call right there as that was clearly a check wall if you don't get the chance to see it then you're relying on your linesman and again we don't have the benefit of replay here ace [Applause] a bit of momentum a bit of confidence but i thought cyborg wants to help that pulse time out right away yeah after two straight points by nassau okay while trying to shift the momentum back on here to approach it calling in timeout but that's of course austria with mount derby blue eagle precarious situation right now with your dlsu you want to get a string of points and they get lucky that was on the line he says the lions judge point for nassar and this could be the start of a mini run for the lady spikers i believe this will already be three straight points for lasalle and infamous the best person to be able to try and inspire the rest of the lady archers come out of this rock that they are in you can hear the raid of booze here you be the judge for the replay and where that ball is but that is clearly out from foreign asking for a check ball they don't get it and lasalle needed a run they got a run they are within one after trailing by five against adeno momentum but one thing going for ateneo they're only three points away from a two set advantage and they're still a ahead of uh the archers and again who's echo all around a big dome but unfazed is skipped but hardware scores another ace completes a five point run to tie the game but 22 this is the best center this is the number one player in terms of service asus this year so far with 35 asus scores heading into the finals [Music] reception problems hounding both teams it killed lasalle's chances in the first set to overturn a late first set deficit but right now reception problems also hitting ateneo as they allowed nasa to be able to catch up entirely by 22 points they've got a shot here in set number two both teams three points away from taking this one ateneo winning set number one 25 21 what a block but what a save as well by tan and that tip going wide six point run by the graduating player making sure that lasalle stays in the hunt i looking to recover as they attempt to have a very good first ball versus game fire this excellent service barely reached by gopigo but she gets it across d morado with the up [Applause] [Music] [Applause] um third year player checks in the service specialist good play a good defense by ateneo what a save from fajardo one-handed save by morado valentino attacks that's wide and nasal is at set point 24-23 that valentino was the best player for atlanta in their first round win versus lasalle but so far she has not connected and the sea of green behind us exploding as lasalle gets his first set point versus nothing else here in the second set lassa's biggest lead only two points goes ronnie led by as many as five but a six-point roll back but [Music] with the biggest error in her young career so far a service error and we're tied at 24. currently checks back in [Music] you have to be able to navigate your thoughts through the voice you have to be able to compose yourself in tight points [Applause] copico with a good serve but [Applause] rebounds and gets set point 25 24. and now the shoe is on the other foot terrific solo block single block coming from bdl de leon just like that they erase they said and now they have their first set point of the second set as they attempt to build a two set advantage courtesy of a haymaker from folks time out here by dlsu we're listening [Applause] okay lsu let's see if they could really set one up because i put it you can see at the bottom left of your screen is calming down gopiko so she can get a good servant and that's what happens oh what a big break for an assassin this this is about 21 000 people inside the colosseum and when you hear the noise inside the colosseum sometimes players do get distracted once again you have to navigate your way through the noise and compose yourself especially in tight points set point of fatima arranged with that service error we're tied at 25 points second set point [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that's a good play point the lsu we're tied at 26. that is a picture of an attack with conviction another point erased we are at 26 second set point for the lsu oh they were looking for it but they didn't get it is back and they're at the their third set point here 27-26 what a big break [Applause] loves it and the fans do as well and that's a big boost in the confidence back of extracting still looking for their second set point is the lsu we're tied at 27. but with five points [Applause] number two for the lsu chakras they're going on their feet beating up the net with two straight points the third set point of ateneo but more than that creating another set point for the green shirts oh this is what the finals is all about block kept alive but no longer as dlsu and they're running around like they won game number one the fans are going crazy and i can barely hear myself here as dnsu equalizes the match one set a piece through great defense and despite all the errors coach rodney they managed to come from behind and take this one away well i thought that came fajardo's thumbprint was all over the second set rally young lady archers it took him fajardo to bail out assad and they completed a huge fight back and now we're equalized with both teams having one set each dlsu bucking the errors and bucking all the problematic issues they encountered in set number two they were down by five clawed their way back and in an extended set number two took it away from antennae well this number is uh a slight picture of what happened with concept [Applause] but suddenly they came for her to happen and the rest of patella salvina just rode her shoulders second set when lasalle tries to just reach that second set success as a springboard this year getting a taste of their own medicine after they won from behind right several sets in the elimination route against the united states remember that in the finals you cannot dwell in terms of when you make the mistakes you have to go to the next play move on to the next defensive stop and focus on what lies ahem [Applause] checks in still heart strong even though this is the final appearance [Applause] [Music] 29-27 [Applause] in the finals once again but rather a team in the finals trying to defend their crown now uber at the huddle constant discussions about about challenging themselves and pushing their capabilities to the limit we're things coaching this has gave us motivation for the girls after three sets this afternoon which is why as we get into the third set of this match the ladies bikers are expected to show a high spirit instead of players that are not going to give up until the very last point and lastly to show them anything that wants to borrow back view eric thank you well it's awesome that the coach ramil had to point out now you're no pushovers you're the defending champion so you're looking for a back to back and let's let's go back to our roots what we're good at and let's show what we can do i always believe that it's mandatory for players to be able to hear the voice of their coach amidst all this noise masala they three one did earlier and they laughed into another series of unforced errors through their services [Applause] [Applause] they have the best center so far in terms of rankings [Applause] [Applause] over the mark she was under the ball that last attack unable to make the necessary adjustments assad had an early lead here in the third set could be the pivotal set that we're looking at [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] trying to save every point trying to play every ball ready [Applause] and just yeah i've got to be impressed how fast-paced the [Music] [Applause] reception by giselle that results in an easy over for the lady eagles nice reach that was really up top for barona she scores one here except number three ever gonna miss him but unfinally scores ben bala and rivero that's an approval so hearts uh the eagles [Music] it was nowhere close for the first year player who's having a hard time fighting her scoring video here today versus las alvonte net defense two-point lead for dlsu matches the biggest of the game versus ateneo step number three oh the fans of both teams are all fired up and former lady spikers getting some selfies in in between uh points and uh obviously fans uh they've got to be happy they're getting their money's worth here go through one one set all and lasalle is up by two in set number three well i guess when you're a year champion you've got the benefit of taking selfies with each other and of course with their school fans and it's not uh always that you see these players being able to come out it's a work day today once again they say three point three for lasalle enjoy the biggest third [Applause] the house toledo from the same play back to a three-point lead for the lady spikers wins that one and nobody touches the ball for the lady spikers everyone walking away from the flight of the ball looking at the sequence [Applause] another good serve from morado who's been serving very [Applause] you have to convert right away from offense to defense or transition from defense to offense as quick as possible [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that's too close to the net even for uh season 77's best seller eleven letters for lasalle in the first set turned out to be disastrous for them they lost the first set the second set of 14 arrows for the lady eagles and they lost the second set after nearly leaving for three fourths of the way their turn to have some unforced errors three points given to lasalle in set number two that is off the table a quick two-point run to bring back a three-point advantage because i'm able to weather the first storm thrown at them [Applause] 12 79 can you say that lasalle is in concern of this set overrated [Applause] [Applause] limited floor time all throughout this year but in the finals getting the knight from coach type of bit they need to level up with vassal's blocking efficiency and it's closest and they get an ace as two players again the same players who were confused with their positions and their roles in set number two commit the same error check and machandini and coach timeout as ateneo erases a three-point deficit and ties it at twelve suddenly your three-part advantage has already evaporated and the swing of momentum is swing of the rhythm and the swing of advantages and these are many players at the championship caliber teams changes very quickly the player they all know how to win i'm turning things around make it difficult for any team as you can see the effort for all of these players trying to get a critical point ball bouncing balls [Applause] back on top by one make that two off a misreceived that's a drone-like serve by this year's leading server it's abina close to 40 aces so far for the number one spotting sample of this year service error from pajardo but what a reply after the deadlock at 12 coach ronnie what a reply by the lady spikers off a timeout by coach ramirez quick two-point run in as much as there are quick momentum swings their ability to focus and re-focus time and again very crucial [Music] [Applause] and that would have been good had more [Music] [Applause] getting that nice quick play able to rebound quickly and look at morado approaching [Applause] yes [Music] for dlsu 1614 leading in both technical timeouts here in set number three well lasalle may not have full control of set number three but they have been on top for majority of this set uh tied at 12 led by one early in the set but always on top and their biggest lead was three one-handed saves on no good ateneo again within one remember that technical timeouts enable coaches to restore sanity it's about motion among players you're able to talk to your players clearly you're able to map your attacks more clearly as well right now rebound point parallel to one for the lady archers checking in oh that is over very rare overpass and that allows ateneo to tie the count at 16. two straight points for the lady eagles after the second tactical timeout [Music] [Applause] that time gets the point for the ls this is why destination is so critical to lasalle's offense another person that they need to guard someone who can produce the functioning points takes the much more predictable because we have seen more blocks running than from [Applause] but if you're really so good then you're so precise to play naked depends on the straight points lady archers after attending the conference 16 masala on top right to what 18 16. both points coming from shang and then the ace for d yes lasalle restores their biggest lead at the three points 1916 time out here by thai good dip you listen to the lady eagles oh [Applause] able to make runs to tie the game earlier let's see if they have another one in them viewers [Music] at coaches to do quick thinking compose themselves and play the next point [Applause] after helping out antennae with the first set [Applause] [Applause] this time change scored at least three points in the last five minutes for the lsu it took a set and they have to regain her fighting form and right now that fighting form has been a big thought in nathanael's defense she provides a lot of firepower and the swagger for the lady archers all hearts yes they change as she restores a three-point lead now the biggest lead on uh this received by ateneo 21-17 the lady spiker is on top by four saga is about to come in for the first time for king kiana day [Applause] [Applause] uh and look at this last call would be a pivotal call but this time it goes in favor of ateneo gotta move on to the next play that goal has already been made let's take another look at the last secret a lot of boos ringing inside the big dog making sure that they play the next point quickly good first ball excellent serve excellent set rather for tokyo gonzaga delivers another point [Applause] lead is three for the lady spikers a chance for them to go up two sets to one trying to inspire and extract more energy from the lady eagles it's a heart strong happy happy group the first type of them always wants to see but right now they are under heels they're behind by two points 22 [Applause] she finds the mark [Applause] the biggest thorn in ateneo's first ball or serve to see is on deck and king farther scores another race gives rasal force head points versus the lady eagle back to the biggest lead of the lady spikers as well chance to go up two sets to one 24-20 valentino off the chest of macadilly here comes what a block by mattaya who has been instrumental right off the bench defensively going back to kim farah though six aces today for the number one serving athlete in the competition double wall roman one versus champs a point [Applause] that somebody asked for it wanted what the responsibility to score score the final point to get lasalle the second set of game number one number one he respects capacity and ability to fight back number two they only need one point to close out they said if you slide here two times what defense at the net by atheneo big play big defensive plays and this is an offensive block courtesy of the two-month wall once again given by delay on nbc for a team that's ranked fifth in block to coach running stepping up huge here in set number three there's that flapper all year long whoa gets it off the tips of the fingers of the ateneo defenders and closes it up for the lady spikers and that ball was deflected this allowing giamorado from keeping that ball in play fist pump for coach ramil and why not for the first time this season has a 2-1 advantage in terms of set count versus the lady eagles may have pursued lasalle relentlessly in step number three and although lasalle did not have full control they had the presence of mind and the strength to maintain lead keep a lead and finish off ateneo 25 22 to get a two sets to one advantage set number three seven attack points in terms of advantage and even if lasalle had more enforce errors and even if ateneu had more kill blocks than lasalle was a huge problem for ateneo all set low and eventually going back to the tight points dunstan on third set lassa's composures one composer once again enabling them to be able to hold forth as ateneo furiously tried to chase them down and at an airspeed to extend the third sector right now for the first time this season ateneo is a set away from a win the panelists from the ncaa are part of course of the abs cbs sports family [Applause] just about to get underway game number one of the finals there's an ace to kick things off for the lady eagles i believe that lasalle almost went wire to wire in that third set win they had a very good start to open up the third and this is one thing that gm morado is trying to bring for that bearded early push-up put pressure on the green shorts first adventures to chase them down good block again at the net by morocco this time around is from this time on the jump by ateneo and a point for dlsu lasalle already with 31 unforced errors with a total of 26. but [Applause] but you gotta be invested 11 points to lead the way and adjust the sophomore and she's really showing her leadership and her skill let's go to denise inside eric and coach ronnie more so now than ever need to keep their cool and maintain a calm presence of mind to avoid unforced errors eric you mentioned a while ago that veya de leon's block were nicely timed well aside from telling them to always meditate coach type wizard also tells the girl then they must find the rhythm [Music] here's an easy over by the lady spikers [Applause] gets it off the block up by one three two ateneo's defense has to be better for gm morada to be able to locate peach [Music] foreign [Applause] soft touch no problem and we have come to know that this has been a constant reminder for the girls in every single film because those things for a little while also tells the lady spikers how important it is as well to stay positive and avoid situations from affecting them because that only shows maturity and focus among the girls so with that with a crucial set on the way the lady spikers are hoping to fight with consistency and most importantly power more more the lady spikers later on back to you eric all right thank you bail well they want the clothes out they want to show the fans they want to prove to themselves they have that killer instinct and you know that drive to close out the step but nothing's going to be easy for me at all that's true samantha seeing action for the first time what's the biggest hero for ateneo in their second round win versus in that match she scored a total of 10 points to be one of three players he scored in double figures first time to serve for jules amante stand out who comes from and in fact i was looking for that and apparently she was being recruited as well by lasalle but they just didn't like what was offered in terms of position in the play for her as and they they liked her role for ateneo [Applause] second referee oliver mora i think they want the ateneo bench to back up support as it may distract the players who are on the floor five all set number four masala up two sets to one samantha was huge off the bench with 10 points so the last leading locked finding the opening that pass was too tight for close [Applause] looking to win the fourth set and extend this match [Applause] after being blocked twice and an error in the end she guess what it the excellent touch underhand pass coming from team fajardo pinabawi [Music] and this is going to be a hard return and it's not it doesn't get across from giselle no matter how good your setters are first [Applause] [Applause] offensively leading the way in scoring for the lady spikers they're up by two eight six versus the lady eagles [Music] there's desiree chang with a point right there these two players are really doing all the heavy lifting for the spikers here in set number four after being down by a point they are up by two already trims the definition to what [Applause] kept alive easy over for the lady spikers a good rally here not in position and dlsu with a point you can just imagine the thought process going through the minds of the setters two steps ahead of the defense [Applause] their transition has been having problems and keep heart was making them pay [Applause] hey that's it and now more expressive and total voice much higher because he knows that uh not only are they behind the reset and the three points sorry for [Applause] uh big time and the confidence of the ladies spike was much higher since [Music] ready to serve down by two another poor reception from chang who's really struggled over received but obviously unable to take advantage identify the quick points of attack for the lady eagles [Applause] [Music] kept alive and saved almost by manya back to a two-point lead for the ladies fighters well kept alive keeping [Applause] 11 serving nine set number four ateneo up two sets to one samonte with the tip the harder was right there tremendous adjustment by morado that's off the tape of the net four touches against the lsu and don't do it trying to massage [Applause] this has been the hardest comeback for ateneo so to speak they're only down by three maximum and they have struggled coach rodney it's different when you're ahead especially by lisa compared to being when you're down quite this much 13 points already as compared to only 15 combined in the first two meetings against the only one averaging aside from kin d in double digits versus ateneo but chang was nine points a game and champshot was seven points per game versus [Applause] shang she got it through the blockers but her momentum carried her towards the net to the delight of the ateneo and we're tied at 12. slowly but surely i've been regaining rhythm their defense has been rock solid right now they're staying away from defensive mistakes [Applause] wow great serve but better floor defense by and then again they get the up on the deleon attack corrado [Applause] tremendous defense lasalle that was all hard on defense as three times they were attacked three times they replied and they came out on top and they get back a one point advantage but freeze instant replay pancake saved by fajardo and who makes that play once again game fajardo hitting the ball alive chang pushing that ball long enough wide enough beyond bridge of ateneo offense which arrived for ateneo right there samantha with a dump by one chang makes it a two-point advantage wow that's right has been huge gatorade spike in the game she and tinty amazon goes running been excellent for lasalli set number four we talked about the need for chances to be able to help out indeed in the south offense [Applause] [Music] offense [Applause] [Applause] finally bdl connecting with giamorado and that's been a money play for atheneo the last two years quickly delivers only one point behind valentino back in the game replacing jules samorte [Applause] free boy put away by peleonas he raises a two-point deficit and bounces right back it seems like a matter of seconds with a poor reception perfect time for tbl to string up on second importance has struggled with her service but has come up with two big ones at ateneo three-point run to take the lead away from lasalle 15-14 first volvo's this time hurting de la salle edl with three straight points just like that in front of the lady spikers all fired up she is so to speak part of this offense there is

finishing touches of this magnificent game one win by the defending champions lady spikers of dlsu versus the lady eagles of madeneyo in practically the same fashion that they lost the uh first two games in four sets and they were able to rediscover themselves especially in the second set and i believe that it took the heroic efforts of kim johardo to pick masala from the ground they were on the brink down two sets almost but kim pardo made sure that lasalle was in the hunt and that second set win set the tone in the next two sets as altenew was not able to recover the reception suffered
