00:00 What is gonna be the outcome of this match?
00:02 Both teams 1-0 so far.
00:05 Good showing on their first match.
00:07 But Katalyn Dino making the first point right away.
00:10 There's only really 14 of them now.
00:14 So everybody's definitely suiting up.
00:16 But in the last game they were saying,
00:18 "Oh, so Dina's still not 100%"
00:20 So let's see who ends our rally.
00:23 Who else?
00:24 Then Cicero and Dina, we know what she can do.
00:28 Jonas Abete this time.
00:30 Goes to the line.
00:31 Babalik sa Petrogasambola.
00:33 And this is gonna be a chance ball for the purple shirts.
00:36 Alba.
00:37 To Katalyn Dino.
00:39 Gets it to go.
00:42 Because that red ball now was a little bit late.
00:46 And off the net.
00:48 They're down by four points against Chocomucho
00:51 as Suarez Alba sends it to Kat.
00:54 Short angle there.
00:56 Van Sickle still trying to get her groove here.
00:59 Alba to Sisi.
01:02 Draw score.
01:03 It's difficult to climb, really, but you know.
01:06 But very doable as well.
01:08 Sometimes it's all about the breaks of the game as well.
01:12 Here comes Issa again, avoiding the blockers.
01:14 And Sabete, a little too late to dig that one up.
01:18 More and more variations behind her attack.
01:22 Also, since Deschenk's injury, she has been set number one.
01:27 But since she has the hot hands right now,
01:30 it just makes sense, Billie, for her to start in front.
01:33 But look at that.
01:35 Speaking of hot hands.
01:37 And we need, you know, Sisi Rondina needs some help here in this match.
01:42 That's why we are so excited to see her full potential in this match here in the PBL.
01:48 Sisi Rondina, meanwhile, she is dug up.
01:51 Van Sickle.
01:53 Alba to Cato Lentino.
01:56 Saet to Van Sickle again.
02:00 Alba one-hand set to Maddie with a push.
02:04 What a smart save from Maddie, noticing that nobody was there.
02:08 Exactly, and I guess acknowledging that it was Rem Palma, not Valerio,
02:13 who was playing defense in that cross court.
02:15 That's right.
02:19 Of course, never intentional, as Alba will go to Sisi Rondina.
02:24 To Quist.
02:26 Cato, that awkward spot.
02:29 It's usually return goals are usually...
02:32 Let's see if she's going to make it three.
02:35 Not this time.
02:36 Maris Alba to Maddie.
02:39 Solid connection in that sequence.
02:42 She was talking about her 17 big points.
02:47 A little more quiet on that second set.
02:50 That's what I was going to say, because now we see 11 excellent sets for Maris Alba.
02:56 12 serving 10.
02:58 Saet goes to Van Sickle.
03:01 She's been a little silent.
03:03 Rondina's turn again.
03:06 Off the block for Sisi.
03:08 Check ball through Chi Saet.
03:11 Sisi again.
03:15 Saet to Van Sickle.
03:18 What a good dig by Malde.
03:20 Here comes Rondina.
03:22 Stuck it in the block.
03:24 Once again, Chuse to go Chi Saet.
03:29 Nunag serving.
03:33 Saet, bump set to Chami, who is back on the court.
03:37 Alba to Sisi from the back row.
03:43 Cannot be handled.
03:45 Right now, Z, we have set number four.
03:49 Chocomucho versus Petrogas.
03:51 Here comes Jonas Zabete with a wind-up.
03:53 Unsuccessful, though.
03:55 Alba will give it to Kat Tolentino.
03:59 Gets the first point here in our fourth set.
04:04 Playing defense, giving that much energy and joy inside.
04:09 They did lack that sense of urgency in that third set.
04:13 Right now, the score is tied at four.
04:16 But not for long.
04:18 Maddy Matayag, her game.
04:21 I think it did, Milly.
04:23 Before, I would...
04:25 Back to the ball.
04:27 Play continues.
04:28 I'm sure Ivy would want her team to fight on for her.
04:32 It's a one-point lead now for the Flying Titans.
04:35 Here comes Isamode.
04:37 Finding that hole in the defense of Petrogas.
04:42 Isamode, a little conservative.
04:47 Now with 14-3, Angels in double digits.
04:51 Alba back set to Maddy Matayag with a running attack.
04:57 Another running attack by Maddy Matayag.
05:00 This time, he went for...
05:03 It's like no one is smiling in court.
05:05 Three-point game.
05:08 Alba gives it to Sissy Rondina.
05:11 And always...
05:14 I mean, no time but now.
05:17 Once again, she's under the ball.
05:19 But again, great adjustment.
05:22 Alba back set to Kat Tolentino.
05:27 And Tolentino puts Chocomucho...
