00:00 The top two teams in terms of spiking, squaring off.
00:05 Not the best of second balls right there.
00:09 And the first point belongs to Owele Tamar and NU.
00:11 Of Bugawan.
00:14 Obed Bukhaba, ever so efficient from the middle.
00:19 - Four setters here to really try to get their
00:22 middle involved to get that one man block.
00:25 Need to find a way to score a point.
00:29 - The lead is ballooned out to three points.
00:32 Andre Delicana rejected by Owele.
00:34 Again, that's one of the advantages of having a tall setter.
00:37 But now, Andre gets a check.
00:39 - The net defense is gonna be big for FEU.
00:42 They're off the hand of Retamar to get that.
00:44 - A chance for FEU to trim the lead down to one.
00:47 Nico Almendras with a nice receive.
00:49 How about the elevation by Jade?
00:51 But he's blocked.
00:53 Tiskitado again.
00:54 There's a check.
00:57 - This time going down the line.
00:59 Scraping the hand of Obed.
01:03 - Has a great story, a return story for FEU
01:06 because after being the star in UAP season 81,
01:09 the pandemic hit him.
01:11 Conditioning was a problem for JJ Javilona.
01:15 He wasn't in the best of conditioning after the pandemic.
01:19 Took a year off.
01:20 - He has to go to his leading scorer in Almendras.
01:24 - Receive muna.
01:25 There it is.
01:26 Nico approaches and there you go.
01:30 That's why you're an analyst.
01:31 He hasn't had an ace so far,
01:34 but NU as a team has had seven.
01:37 Kakau looks and sets to the quick.
01:41 There's a check.
01:42 - Now Tiskitado admits that
01:46 that's how important their passing is.
01:49 - Time for Gawan.
01:50 Now a part of the back row.
01:52 So it might be Lyric Mendoza as a response.
01:54 Unfortunately, the response from NU comes.
01:58 - FEU here in terms of offense.
02:02 Arringo with only one blocker.
02:04 - He serves that ball inside carefully.
02:10 And there's the approach and the block.
02:12 Good defense by FEU.
02:13 One more, Tiskitado.
02:16 Recovery.
02:17 Delicana sends it through sharply at that.
02:22 Counter for Jade.
02:25 That drops.
02:26 And NU takes set number one.
02:28 - Great display of teamwork there on the side of NU.
02:33 Lower defense and net defense
02:35 and even their offense have been lethal so far.
02:39 So FEU here really needs to make necessary adjustments
02:43 to be able to slow down a very...
02:46 - Eight to four.
02:47 Havillona sends it in.
02:50 Received by Sumagi.
02:51 Etamar to Obed.
02:53 Just towering over everybody from FEU.
02:56 - Etamar gets an opportunity to set up Mokaba.
03:01 He does because Mokaba really has the advantage
03:04 in terms of offense.
03:05 - Five to nine.
03:07 Mendoza serves.
03:08 Tiskitado receives.
03:10 Set up tight.
03:11 And that's an easy block for FEU.
03:14 - Cacao.
03:15 But Cacao is able to press his hands in.
03:20 - Rotation for them with Owa.
03:23 - On the service line.
03:24 - Right.
03:24 Obed receives.
03:27 Tough attack right there by Bugawan.
03:30 Ball over.
03:31 NU keeps it alive.
03:34 Maringo.
03:35 Rejected at the net.
03:36 NU scrambling and recovering.
03:39 Almendras gets it through.
03:40 A chance for FEU.
03:42 It's Havillona who's rejected.
03:44 Coverage was there.
03:45 Push.
03:46 Longest rally so far.
03:48 Back row.
03:49 Tiskitado.
03:49 It's low.
03:50 Taguibolos now serves.
03:53 He had an error a while ago.
03:55 That goes in.
03:56 Back set.
03:57 Saavedra with the cross.
03:59 - Now we've been starting to be the player here.
04:03 - Why not the leading scorer of the Tamaraus
04:06 with 57 entering this matchup?
04:08 - We had to ensure the safety of my partner first
04:10 before speaking.
04:12 13-11.
04:13 - Netamar set up to a Ringo.
04:15 Blocked by JJ Havillona.
04:17 - FEU.
04:19 More decisive in their execution.
04:22 - Kakao.
04:27 Oh sorry, that's Kodilya batting it out to Netamar.
04:29 Back row hit.
04:30 Hit goes in for JJ Havillona.
04:33 Had three points in the previous outing.
04:35 Ball up by Leo Ringo.
04:38 Owao opens.
04:40 Nice block by FEU.
04:42 - To make necessary adjustments and they did in this set.
04:47 - Service for Ariel Kakao
04:48 who has a full front row.
04:50 Back set to Nico.
04:52 Hole at the back row.
04:54 Good for him to deliver.
04:55 Four points now for Martin Bugawan.
05:01 Sumagi receives.
05:02 Jay.
05:04 Another point for Mr. Disketado.
05:07 Leo Ringo.
05:08 Serves that ball inside.
05:10 A good chance for FEU.
05:11 Saavedra will get the point in the set
05:15 for Far Eastern University.
05:17 We are back to square one.
05:19 Who will NU use?
05:20 - Oh that's really a good problem for NU then.
05:22 (laughing)
05:24 - Kakao.
05:24 Combination.
05:25 Nice block by Nico Almendras.
05:27 (crowd cheering)
05:30 - Only one blocker went with Bugawan.
05:33 Almendras reading that well.
05:35 A winning mindset.
05:37 - Taguibola serves.
05:39 Bryce not the best of receives.
05:41 And that's blocked.
05:42 - No and with a faulty passing.
05:46 - Beginning to be predictable here.
05:50 Of Cabo with a killed block.
05:54 It's easier time that starts from good passing.
05:57 - Still a bit of a chase for Kakao.
06:00 And there's the block.
06:01 - Again, play making.
06:05 Saavedra trying to go first for their team.
06:15 Almendras receives.
06:16 Owa to the quick.
06:17 Nope.
06:18 Good defense by Salahes.
06:20 Push for Jamel.
06:22 Saved by NU.
06:23 (crowd cheering)
06:24 Nice read right there by Leo Arringo.
06:26 - Or there to extend his arms for a tamar.
06:31 But Arringo, quick thinking.
06:33 - It's a comfortable position.
06:35 So they're allowed to make that error.
06:39 - Oh ho ho ho.
06:40 What a response.
06:42 But FU keeps it alive.
06:44 Great effort by Salahes.
06:46 One more time.
06:47 Nicole Almendras puts it away.
06:49 - To play faster in the set.
06:54 And that the speed of their offense
06:56 started to be a problem here on the side of FU.
07:01 - That ball went straight down.
07:03 They had an eight point turnaround in set number two.
07:07 Having trailed by as many as four.
07:09 And they won the set by four.
07:11 Arringo.
07:12 How about Salahes?
07:13 Keeping that ball alive again.
07:15 Codillo with the cross.
07:16 Sumagi with the dig.
07:17 Back set.
07:18 Arringo rejected.
07:20 Also made his name in the Champions League.
07:25 Actually, that's where coach Dantelion Sunurin recruited him.
07:29 As FU scores from the left pin.
07:32 I'm sure they're anticipating his presence
07:35 in the front row later on.
07:38 Owa opens up.
07:39 Almendras soaring for that ball.
07:41 Nice rejection.
07:42 Sumagi.
07:43 Back to Nico.
07:44 Tipped.
07:45 Yes, sir.
07:46 Almendras.
07:48 Ooh, the ball hit the net.
07:52 Or the tape of the net.
07:53 Leaning onto an ace.
07:55 Let's see if FU can regain its composure here.
07:59 Can't be disheartened off of that sequence.
08:03 Nice block for MU.
08:04 And that's it for set number three.
08:12 Retamar.
08:13 Back set to Arringo.
08:14 He's blocked.
08:15 Ariel Cacao will start warming up.
08:21 Let's see if they will ultimately go with that substitution
08:24 as Taguibolo's response.
08:26 He's the second top scorer of FU with 54.
08:30 And that's with a 60% attack efficiency, by the way.
08:34 As Arringo scores for MU.
08:36 Three excellent sets so far from Benny.
08:41 Back set.
08:42 Tisketado.
08:43 Hammers it home.
08:45 JJ Javelona.
08:48 He serves that ball straight to Sumagi
08:52 with a misreceive.
08:54 Approach by Leo.
08:55 There's a check.
08:56 Arringo attacking on top of the blockers.
08:59 Safe serve.
09:03 Attack for the middle.
09:06 There is the Teng Fugawan that we know.
09:09 Did you see how high up his legs were?
09:12 19-18, FU again with the lead.
09:15 Choi Diaw.
09:16 Nice dig by Fugawan.
09:19 Back set to Drix.
09:20 Down the ball goes.
09:23 Here in set number four.
09:25 The TFN you can execute here.
09:27 Owa.
09:28 To Choi.
09:29 Hole in the middle.
09:30 An easy point there, actually.
09:33 Ball out for JJ.
09:37 Drix again.
09:38 Wow.
09:39 That's Sumagi.
09:40 Counter block.
09:42 They have Drix Avedra who has to be careful there.
09:47 Serving.
09:47 Straight to Jade.
09:50 Quick attack for MU.
09:53 By the way, had six points coming off the bench
09:56 versus UST.
09:57 Javelona with the receive.
09:59 They go onto the opposite.
10:01 That looked good for Andrei Delicana.
10:04 22-20.
10:07 Etamar to the open.
10:11 Nice response by Jade Esquitado who now has 21.
10:15 And they have a middle blocker doing it.
10:17 Dirik Mendoza played it safely.
10:19 And here's Jade.
10:22 Ooh, it's tight.
10:24 It doesn't go through.
10:25 Good patience by Kakau.
10:27 And Delicana is blocked.
10:28 Taguibolo celebrates.
10:30 That's in.
10:33 Sumagi with a beautiful receive.
10:35 Back set to Jade.
10:36 That goes down.
10:38 23-24, Jade.
10:43 That's in.
10:45 Back set.
10:46 Saavedra against one blocker.
10:47 Sumagi keeping it alive.
10:49 Nico's turn.
10:51 Blocked.
10:52 That goes through.
10:53 FPU from the back.
10:55 That's a point for Andrei Delicana.
10:57 And they will send us to a set number five.
11:01 Lead is back up to three.
11:04 Benny opens up.
11:05 Delicana had to extend.
11:07 Etamar keeping it alive.
11:09 The ball goes over.
11:10 FPU chooses Saavedra.
11:14 Deflection.
11:14 Owa.
11:16 Back set to Leo.
11:17 Havillana puts it up.
11:19 Benny.
11:20 Andrei down the line.
11:21 Oh, Etamar continuing to talk to his team.
11:26 Where will he go?
11:27 It's Jade.
11:28 And that's a point for FPU.
11:32 Derek Mendoza serves that ball inside.
11:35 Almendras with the receive.
11:37 Back set.
11:38 Arringo against the blockers.
11:41 The ball hit the tape of the net.
11:42 And there's the counter.
11:43 Sumagi with the dig.
11:45 They go to Jade.
11:46 Ball deflected.
11:47 Good chance for FPU.
11:50 Bugawan will score.
11:52 Martin Teng Bugawan.
11:54 Seven-nine.
11:56 Nice receive.
11:58 Jade.
11:59 Ball dropped by Andrei.
12:01 Can they convert?
12:02 (crowd cheering)
12:03 Good effort by Sumagi.
12:04 Unfortunately, that ball went to the other side.
12:08 That's in.
12:12 Bryce receives.
12:12 Kakau.
12:14 On to JJ.
12:15 Ball put up by Arringo.
12:17 Back to Jade.
12:18 Yes, sir.
12:20 What a game for Jade Disketadon.
12:22 - Now, he's been that player for NU in today's game.
12:26 - Choi Diao serves.
12:27 JJ receives.
12:28 Back to Havillana.
12:29 And he scores.
12:31 A badly needed point by FPU.
12:33 - FPU here.
12:34 - And they capitalize.
12:35 Kakau serves it in.
12:37 Here's Jade.
12:38 Ball sent back.
12:40 The lead is one.
12:41 - Three blockers in front of Disketadon.
12:45 - Served by JJ.
12:48 - Out of system.
12:49 - Back set to Jade.
12:51 Over the blockers.
12:52 Chased by Bryce.
12:53 And here's Trix.
12:55 That goes down.
12:57 - They make their biggest statement in the season so far.
13:01 Retamar.
13:02 On to Jade.
13:03 Retribution for Jade Disketadon.
13:07 29 points for the rookie.
13:10 Ball up for FPU.
13:12 They send it to the open.
13:14 Pelicana responds.
13:15 The rookie on the other end.
13:17 This game has boiled down onto a virtual race to two.
13:21 Sumagi.
13:22 Retamar.
13:23 Nico in front.
13:25 He will score.
13:27 - First appearance, first serve.
13:30 And it's for the match.
13:31 Received by Bryce.
13:32 FPU opens up.
13:34 And there's a check.
13:35 It's also in.
13:36 And we have Leo Arringo doing the honors
13:39 on the service line.
13:40 That is out.
13:42 Now it's Andre Delicana serving to break the deadlock.
13:47 Ball up for Jade.
13:49 And here's Nicol Mendez.
13:50 Rejected.
13:53 - That was well read by Mendoza.
13:57 - Ball in for Delicana.
14:00 Retamar.
14:01 Nico again.

14:13 He sends the ball in.
14:15 Received by JJ.
14:16 Jabilona.
14:17 Ball up by Nico.
14:19 A chance for NU.
14:20 It's their top scorer.
14:22 Dive.
14:24 And it's saved.
14:25 We shall continue.
14:26 O-wa will go to Joy Deo.
14:29 And that's it.
14:31 NU hands FPU its first loss of the season.
