00:00 A lot of power being given out on the attack.
00:02 So I think, you know, your first game and really, you know, you want to give it your all.
00:07 The Jitters may be playing in here as they set this one up to Encarnacion again on the other side.
00:13 Bakanke popping that one up.
00:14 The hit there is blocked by Yupi.
00:17 That block goes out.
00:18 So the point goes to the Tamarau still.
00:21 On the side of F.E.U. coming from Ubaldo.
00:25 Ubaldo has been very steady force already here. A solid block there.
00:30 And Petalio is one of the names that she gave out.
00:34 So early showings here.
00:39 But Petalio not really the tallest player there for F.E.U.
00:43 But well, if that block was an indication of what's to come.
00:47 Five straight points here for F.E.U.
00:50 as we check in from the Moraita side of things with the Aries.
00:53 Well, Sinjin and Ivy, but aside from beginnings, from the eyes of senior Tin Ubaldo,
00:58 the team is no longer rebuilding pace.
01:00 So they're more resilient this time around.
01:02 Tin also told me that with their overseas trip to Thailand, their bond and closeness has...
01:07 The skill will always be there.
01:09 That's why they recruit these players.
01:10 It's just like the serve coming from the side of Yupi.
01:14 On the other side, Ubaldo goes up to Bakanke.
01:17 Popped up there by the libero of Yupi.
01:19 Backcourt hit coming from Bustillo.
01:22 They put this up to Tagkaod.
01:26 Ubaldo.
01:27 And we will see that continue here as Monares on the side of Yupi denied there by Asis.
01:34 Monares will try again.
01:35 This time it gets through.
01:36 Look at that again.
01:38 Going a bit off script there.
01:42 Five point deficit for Yupi's serve coming from their setter Magsumbol.
01:49 The tip works.
01:52 That's the first line of attack that you have here in volleyball.
01:54 As Ubaldo goes to Bakanke.
01:58 On the other side, Magsumbol going.
02:02 Off MPU.
02:04 This is now tripped down to a two point gap.
02:09 But you know, that has been...
02:10 That is what actually, what helped Yupi, you know, catch up or inch closer to the score.
02:18 They go to Asis.
02:21 That works.
02:22 That goes off the block of Dan Loselis.
02:24 Nikka Kabasak to serve.
02:26 Straight to Tagkaod.
02:29 Ubaldo goes up to Tagkaod.
02:31 Going for the press play and that works.
02:33 For the squad from Maraita, the exercise and sports sciences major.
02:38 Monares on the other side.
02:42 Gets that through the blockers.
02:45 Here in the UAP is very different.
02:49 What a hit there coming from Chintagao.
02:55 Getting that through the blockers.
02:57 Serve coming from the tourism major.
03:01 On the other side, they go to Encarnacion.
03:05 Kept alive there by Monares.
03:07 Petalio hitting that over.
03:09 Encarnacion will go off speed.
03:12 Ubaldo going to Petalio.
03:15 Kept alive by Capistrano.
03:16 Celis going for that tip.
03:18 Wide open space in the defense of FEU.
03:21 FEU was 14 and UP was only at 5.
03:28 Encarnacion will set this one up.
03:32 Back row play there coming from John Monares.
03:35 On the other side, Petalio getting that one through.
03:39 Kept alive there by UP.
03:40 Great scrappy floor defense here from UP, but Petalio on the side of FEU.
03:47 That goes straight to Capistrano.
03:49 Dump ball there for Magsumbol.
03:52 They go up to that Panangin running.
04:03 Kept alive there by UP.
04:05 Tagaud from the pipe on the other side.
04:07 They go.
04:09 Magsumbol will serve.
04:12 They're down just by one at the very tail end of this first set.
04:16 Petalio in that one through.
04:18 Popped up by Capistrano.
04:19 On the other side, Encarnacion off the block to the celebration of the running coach Oliver.
04:26 You know, her wise words could change things up here as we see the serve coming from Magsumbol.
04:31 Ubaldo going up to Petalio.
04:33 Gained that swing of momentum from left to right as we see that serve coming from Tagaud.
04:40 That hit coming from Itang on the other side.
04:44 They go up to Encarnacion, kept alive by FEU.
04:48 Petalio tipping this one over.
04:49 That goes in.
04:51 Let's take a look at that last attack, that drop, that tip.
04:56 It's right on the line.
04:59 Good call there coming from the young setter of UP, Magsumbol.
05:09 Petalio going deep cross court.
05:11 Red well there by UP, Encarnacion away from the net.
05:16 Ubaldo going to Tagaud.
05:18 It's Tagaud with a smile.
05:21 They really look like they're enjoying that game.
05:24 That's when you know it's going to be a great game.
05:28 Right, that's right.
05:29 That set up coming from Encarnacion to Bakanke.
05:33 Ubaldo going to Tagaud again on the other side.
05:36 Capistrano was there.
05:37 Magsumbol going up to Kabasak and Kabasak gets that point of UP.
05:44 She already has six points, four attacks, one block and one ace.
05:48 Petalio, blocked there by Itang.
05:53 That's something you've missed in the first set,
05:57 blocking from the side of UP this time.
06:06 Capistrano will pop this one up.
06:08 They go to the left pin as Tagaud is denied there again.
06:15 It was Magsumbol who actually had a hand at that.
06:21 No coverage.
06:22 UP's Joan Monais.
06:24 Poor reception here coming from FEU.
06:30 Magsumbol pops this one up to Encarnacion off the hands of the blockers.
06:35 Oh, everyone here at the second.
06:38 Sneaky move from Ubaldo.
06:42 And it keeps all the leagues, both leagues very much exciting
06:46 because here we're meeting a lot of new players.
06:48 Players are gaining confidence, just like Tino Ubaldo.
06:51 We're seeing the exciting collegiate players mature as we look at the fall.
06:57 The playmaking, but she can also score points on her own.
07:01 And she's also a very formidable blocker.
07:04 As we see that hit coming from Asis on the other side.
07:07 Catayo, solid block there.
07:10 Look at that.
07:14 Breathing Kapasang Ubaldo.
07:18 That's a very tight tackle to get that.
07:21 That's where everything starts, just like, you know, a service reception.
07:24 You know, if you have a poor first ball, it's going to be very difficult
07:28 for you to execute any form of attack.
07:30 And, you know, first ball is that's why it's called first ball.
07:34 You need to start with that.
07:35 But she's not the tallest of players, Ivy.
07:38 But that block reach is just solid.
07:41 And she also reads the attack very well.
07:45 The hitter.
07:47 Nakakapanya.
07:50 Asis adjusting there.
07:53 Great B-quick here.
07:57 We're waiting to explode here on the side of FU,
08:03 but UP looking really different compared to the first set.
08:07 Magsumbol almost getting that one.
08:09 Nagayaklamo dito sa gilid, Coach O, but on the second try, Magsumbol.
08:15 You can see that it really hit the floor.
08:19 Let's see. Let's check it on this replay.
08:21 Off the maroons.
08:27 Serve coming from Celis.
08:30 Say to Petalio. Petalio, well answered.
08:32 She's denied by Magsumbol.
08:35 She now serves for FU.
08:37 Good serve.
08:39 Running hit for Itang and she scores for UP.
08:44 That slips the line.
08:45 Ubaldo has three points already, two on attacks, one on ace serves.
08:50 Bustillo tipping that over.
08:54 Incarnation keeps this one alive.
08:56 Petalio getting that one through.
09:00 Oh, there's a lot of quotes.
09:02 There's a lot of them. The list goes on.
09:04 And Bustillo goes, gets that one through.
09:08 Ubaldo finding the corner there.
09:11 You know, I won't be surprised if because her mentor is Tina Salak.
09:15 So where will she get that?
09:18 And you know, the more we see her, the more confident she starts to become.
09:23 She's part of several iterations of the national team.
09:28 And she's made a name already as coach.
09:32 Yes, we see the solid block coming from Anne Aces and
09:35 serve coming from UP.
09:40 Ubaldo going to Bakanke.
09:42 Bakanke trying to get a rebound.
09:44 On the other side, Itang.
09:46 It's Petalio with 13 points.
09:48 Para Haboneta, the outside hitter who is a tourism major.
09:53 With that serve, Ubaldo trying to get that one off the block.
09:56 UP keeps it alive.
09:57 They go up to Tagawad again this time.
10:01 Putting an exclamation point in that hit.

10:11 Thank you so much, May.
10:14 For FEU, they're up by two.
10:18 She's been very quiet here so far.
10:22 So Ubaldo now goes up to Tagawad.
10:26 Tagawad finds a donut hole.
10:28 With the song "Lover" by Taylor Swift.
10:31 And it was so special with them listening to it
10:35 that it became part of their pre-game ritual at the game.

10:49 Solid spike there earlier from
10:53 Jean Assis.
10:55 Abigok in the ballgame here.
10:57 Getting a point for the Maroons.
11:00 That's straight to Ann Monayas.
11:04 They go to Juris Petalio.
11:07 Petalio will try again on the other side.
11:10 Set up.
11:12 They go to Encarnacion.
11:14 Ubaldo going to the running.
11:16 Assis kept alive by UP.
11:18 Great coverage here on the side of UP.
11:20 Free ball coming from UP.
11:22 On the other side, Ubaldo goes for a dunk
11:24 and becomes successful.
11:26 The second year,
11:30 but second year student,
11:32 but first playing year for UP.
11:35 She's very agile.
11:39 Kept alive there by Ann Assis on the side of FEU.
11:41 The guilla going to Encarnacion, getting that one through.
11:46 Your momentum, your and especially if it's not your usual pace.
11:51 That's the key there.
11:52 It's really playing at your own pace, as we see.
11:55 Their blocking has also been very good.
11:58 Good hit coming from Itang on the other side.
12:05 Bakanke!
12:06 Not close to the net.
12:09 Not close to the net.
12:10 Because that's when she got a very clean hit.
12:12 They go up to Bustillo on the opposite side.
12:17 But great.
12:19 Just the right spots as Ann Assis goes for that serve.
12:22 On the other side, Hart Magsumbal sets that one up to Bustillo.
12:26 Magsumbal going to Itang on that angle.
12:28 We've seen a lot of great middles like Itang, you know, not to compare,
12:34 but just for the historical reference, you know, Kathy Bursola.
12:38 Very agile, very great at pounding the ball on angles as
12:43 FEU keeps that ball alive.
12:46 Magsumbal going to Nicaseles.
12:49 On the other side, Bakanke denied by Abigom.
12:53 Under her name, Tenon attacks one block and one ace.
12:56 Let's see if she gets another one. Petalio
12:59 keeps that alive.
13:00 Bakanke adjusting and finds the corner.
13:03 She also has a very different approach or reach.
13:14 Tagaod getting that one through on the other side.
13:17 They go up to Bustillo.
13:20 Oh, what a...
13:21 So she already has three points to her name.
13:24 Obaldo goes up.
13:29 Confusion between Assis and Tagaod.
13:33 Assis there with the block.
13:36 I like the reaction of the ball, it's so angry that it's still alive.
13:39 Assis, third time going for that block.
13:43 Assis now going for that tip and finally gets that point.
13:46 From Jaboneta.
13:50 They go to quick to Ann Assis.
13:54 They're slowly inching closer.
13:58 Service has been key earlier to play catch up.
14:01 Obaldo goes up to Petalio.
14:03 Petalio off the block.
14:05 Will serve again.
14:07 Block, better reception this time.
14:10 They go to Encarnacion.
14:12 Let's take a look at that attack.
14:18 In between the two blockers of FEU.
14:21 Seven point lead for FEU UP.
14:26 Still trying to catch up here.
14:28 Petalio adjusting, double block, no coverage on the side of FEU UP.
14:32 Serve coming from Encarnacion.
14:37 Oh, that's an ace.
14:41 In this set.
14:43 Ann Assis with that serve that goes straight to Encarnacion.
14:47 Magsambol going to Itang that goes straight to the net.
14:50 And that becomes a win for FEU
14:56 as anticlimactic as it could be.
