00:00 It is the default. If you're a lefty, you should feel comfortable at the right pin.
00:04 And it would be harder to try to block those attackers as Kayuna sets up Ces Molina,
00:11 who should be used to that angle as well.
00:14 Ces Molina, she has really come into her own as well as Ces Molina.
00:18 She's more vocal as well and also leading by example.
00:21 She is the leading scorer of Signal HD, number 6 in the league,
00:25 and had 19 points in her previous outing as Vali Gander gets her first point.
00:30 And just her leap, her elevation, and the smarts has gained extra work,
00:36 which just goes to show her passion for the sport.
00:40 Later on, I'll let you break down that extra work even more for us as we continue.
00:45 Gonzaga met at the net.
00:47 Signal HD now up 4-1. This is a good start for them.
00:52 Molina setting it in. Misreceived.
00:55 Now, Kaitlyn Diray will give up a chance ball.
00:58 Jove, Jell, Gonzaga, yes!
01:02 Smooth sailing on the side of the Signal HD Spikers heading into a timeout here called by Coach Derry.
01:09 Pay attention to the small details, which is also defense and setting and receiving.
01:17 All the qualities it takes to help. Well, on your screens there, Ses Molina with that service ace.
01:24 Right in their last match against PLDT.
01:27 So, especially, they're going to target Louie Romero if she's in the front row because she's not the tallest.
01:32 Right. That's one of the adjustments also, by the way, with this new positioning as Ses Molina scores again.
01:39 You have to adjust in terms of your attacking and also your defense.
01:42 And also, this is the first time that game setting.
01:45 This is where you really need to find that killer instinct because how you train, it's not always what will come out in the game.
01:52 And you're also going up against Signal HD, no less.
01:55 Battle at the net. That's sent back by Farn Presh.
01:58 Jell Kayuna tried to drop it to no avail. Valerio keeping it alive.
02:02 A push. Kayuna onto Rose Doria who knew it that she was going to score.
02:08 Set to Rose Doria was a little bit too low.
02:13 The spike of the set is brought to you by Duncan.
02:16 But she was able to go for that quick attack. A better set from Jell Kayuna.
02:21 Mia Meneses will be serving. She did have an ace already.
02:25 Ball up for Farn Presh.
02:28 Arroyo, this time from the left pin and that drops.
02:31 Offensive position here for Kinney Arroyo is much needed in the scoring department because you have Tagsip, you have Cruz.
02:39 They need more in terms of the offense here.
02:43 A little scramble there for the Foxes. Kayuna again as an attacker.
02:48 She really loving it by the way.
02:50 Well deflected by Signal.
02:52 They send it to Rose and there's a hole in the middle.
02:56 That's also a great smart play by Rose Doria and also Jell Kayuna was already on her knees.
03:03 Would you say that that's her most unique trait?
03:09 Yes, I mean she, there's a lot of setters that do that as well, but with Jell Kayuna she's very calm and collected.
03:16 She knows the specific set that her setters want and not that her spikers want and not only that.
03:22 Those are just funny reactions. We'll gladly take it.
03:25 And they do have a good cushion.
03:27 Nice receive by Jell.
03:29 Not the best of set ups. An easy ball though.
03:33 Jull couldn't drop it.
03:35 Here's the counter. Kaitlyn Veray down the line.
03:38 Player here on the court, Louie Romero setting her up perfectly.
03:42 Again she has good versus PLDT. That was her highest scoring total so far for Farm Fresh.
03:50 Service in for Riza. Here's Rhea from the middle.
03:53 You see Jell Kayuna setting Doria, setting Rhea Menezes.
03:57 Also too high. So you see that their tandem, their connection has really elevated after each game.
04:03 It's now a 13 point advantage. Good save by Jov Vanni tipping it over and she found a hole.
04:10 She was able to find a way above the blocking of the farm.
04:15 No urgency coming from the side of the Farm Fresh Foxes.
04:18 14 set points for Jovelyn Gonzaga and company.
04:22 Back set. Is that a slide on the back row as Jell Kayuna wins set number one with a 1-2 play.
04:29 The familiarity, the chemistry is there especially with Dawn now in the mix helping in the non-scoring department.
04:35 And seven on the side of the Farm Fresh Foxes.
04:37 But that just goes to show that the attacks on the side of the Farm Fresh Foxes need to be converted into points.
04:44 That was a good hit by Bertolana from the back row.
04:47 And Signal HD is ready to counter.
04:50 Just a free ball given up. Can Louie maximize this?
04:54 Arroyo tried to go across. It's quite low. One more for Chini.
04:59 Ball bouncing off. Signal recovers. Back row hit for Vanni. And yes it works.
05:04 The Ilonga says it's the management or yung mga nag-aalaga at walang sawang nagtitiwala kaw sa kanila. Ano man ang manyare.
05:11 She walked me through what happened last game against Greenline and told me that through it all she did not lose her file.
05:17 And the first set as well.
05:20 There's the receive by Jovalin Gonzaga leading on to a hit by Rhea Meneses.
05:26 Counter from Lai. Great block.
05:29 And you have Rhea Meneses here in the front row who is very stable.
05:33 Let's take a look at this sequence here.
05:36 Perfect formation.
05:39 Only on NBA TV Philippines. One Sports and Filipinas Live.
05:43 #EveryonesGame #NBAonsignal
05:47 Trisha Tubu could not score.
05:50 Now it's Ces Molina.
05:52 How about that effort by Dawn Makandili Katindig.
05:56 Yeah signature from her.
05:58 There she is again. Vanni Gandler.
06:01 Ball put back.
06:03 Jelkayuna.
06:05 Would that be her first attack point? Yes.
06:07 She has been trying to attack in this match but she's successful.
06:12 Talk about Dawn sacrificing her body everywhere, diving for everything.
06:17 That is the goal and role of being one of the best liberos here in the Philippines.
06:23 I mentioned this earlier in terms of familiarity.
06:26 Take a look Vanni already with 7 points.
06:28 Very high efficiency in this match for Vanni.
06:32 But I mean smooth sailing coming from the side of Signa.
06:35 Your point actually makes me think that this could be an effect as Shili Arroyo drops the hammer for Farah Krish.
06:43 Leading up to it.
06:44 I think that could be an effect of the addition of Dawn Makandili Katindig.
06:49 Vanni mentioned that she's very happy with having Dawn by her side.
06:54 Because also Vanni doesn't need to focus so much on receiving.
06:58 Not only Vanni but also the others because they know Dawn will do the job.
07:02 It gets to the point where Dawn actually gets balls that are not even for her.
07:07 And that helps and set her connection that is slowly mastering here.
07:12 Mastery. Shili Arroyo has been playing well lately and now Trisha Tugo gets an ace.
07:18 This is the best sequence.
07:20 Targeting that corner pocket of zone 1.
07:23 And that sequence as the ball actually dropped in that zone 1.
07:28 Getting set for Jel Kayuna. That didn't work for Rili Meneses.
07:32 The counter comes from Shili and that drops back to zone 1.
07:37 Nice receive by Jove. Talk about her being targeted.
07:42 Signal couldn't score. There's the counter for Farah Krish.
07:46 And it's Rili Meneses reaching to the skies.
07:50 Try and win right away because they've been in experiences where they have lost and they're up 2 sets.
07:58 Here comes Signal HD. Where's Doria? It's been quite a while.
08:05 And now she sends that ball in. Delario with a receive.
08:11 Attack from the right. And a chance to counter.
08:14 Jovalin Gonzaga tips it over. Delario keeping it alive.
08:18 Bit of a scramble for Signal. Hits Vanni from the back.
08:22 Ball up by Lui Romero.
08:24 Bertolano.
08:26 Montereza. Chase for Dawn.
08:29 Just another day at work for her.
08:32 Ball to the sky. Chance for Farah Krish.
08:35 And to the slide. And yes, it is a point for the White Shirts.
08:39 ...field and more attacks coming from the middle.
08:42 Not too much on the left pin because we know the blocking of Signal.
08:45 18-10 now. Chance ball for Farm Fresh.
08:49 Not the best of digs though.
08:51 Practically a chance on the other end.
08:55 Gonzaga. Chase for Delario.
08:58 Riza. Good rally.
09:00 Dawn sends it to Jov. Cross court. Very sharp.
09:04 And that is the attack that Jovalin Gonzaga was actually trying to do.
09:09 Good to have her back by the way, talking about Jovalin Gonzaga.
09:13 Back row hit. Healthy as well.
09:16 Chase. Jov keeps it alive.
09:19 It's Dawn Makandili Katindig who will send it over.
09:22 Bertolano. Wow, what a dig by Dawn.
09:26 Gelled back to Jov. Again with a sharp angle.
09:30 Service inside. Dawn receives.
09:35 Kayuna on to Doria. She's been very efficient.
09:38 Doria and the rest of the Signal HD spikers in set number two.
09:42 Delario receives. And here's Bertolano down the line.
09:47 Signal HD spikers in terms of best score, you have Molina, you have Doria, Gantler, Menezes, Gonzaga.
09:54 In the top 27 of the league.
09:58 Bertolano will be serving off of their point. 14-23.
10:02 Nice receive by Dawn. Menezes again.
10:05 See that flick of the wrist on that back hook attack.
10:09 Well Dawn Makandili Katindig is number one after all in the PBL in terms of receptions.
10:15 Romero on to Tubu. Blocked.
10:18 And guess what? That's it for set number two. Signal HD again.
10:24 Also Chin Chin Bases has not played as well.
10:28 Farm Fresh will choose the middle for their first play and it works.
10:34 Kyle Tagsip scores. Let's see if she can score more.
10:39 Ball up by Chini Arroyo. Romero sending it through.
10:44 Ooh, a miscue for Signal. Back to Jov. Cross court.
10:48 Dug up by Louie. Delario sending it to the left.
10:51 That's a push. That didn't work for Kate.
10:54 Counter with Jov. It drops.
10:57 Jovelyn Gonzaga, the ever so reliable lefty opposite spiker.
11:02 From being a nonchalant setter to a not so OA, but more vocal or louder player.
11:11 Now that's a testament as to how the Foxes primarily composed of young yet...
11:16 A volleyball team.
11:18 It's now 5-3 as Jovelyn Gonzaga serves. Trisha Tubu coming around.
11:23 This is why they fielded Trisha Tubu here. I have not seen enough sets given to Trisha Tubu yet just to gauge.
11:34 But Cassie as well, I mean, being a rookie there in UE, one of the best so far.
11:41 Let's go back to that later on as this rally goes.
11:46 Tubu tipping it over. Dawn is back.
11:49 And she kept that ball alive. Off speed. Great read by Ces Molina.
11:54 In this game, only the liberos have been changing for Signal HD.
11:58 Open hit. And there was a miscue at the back line for Signal.
12:05 Trisha Tubu sending that ball in. Jov receives. Molina with her left hand.
12:10 Romero, that's a back row hit.
12:13 Chance for Signal.
12:15 Pipe. Nope. At the net. Regalo para kay Ces.
12:19 Who has performed oh so well. Plus four in terms of her sets versus Luis Romero.
12:25 Who now gives that ball up for that down the line hit.
12:28 And was it inner out for Chini?
12:30 Chini Arroyo with the point. And now it's her teammate Riza Cruz who delivers.
12:34 You see Riza Cruz going for that almost like running attack here early on in this third set.
12:40 13-11. Ces Molina will now be doing the honors.
12:44 Again with the float. Delario receives it. A chase for Luis.
12:49 Back row for Chini.
12:51 Jack Jack. Jell Rose. A better hit this time.
12:55 Going for that back quick attack.
12:57 You have, you never know. It can't be a double contact.
13:02 Because, I mean, given that it's not their strongest skill set as well.
13:06 At least they have the initiative. As Vanny Gander totally showed initiative right there.
13:11 I think that also comes with maturity as well. I did say this earlier.
13:16 These are things that can't be taught.
13:18 Makes it really is learned over time through experience.
13:21 Experience that the Signal HD Spikers do have already.
13:25 And a lot of that as Romero back sets to Trisha Tugo and it drops.
13:30 Finding that hold. But Luis Romero fielding in Trisha Tugo.
13:35 Outside of Chini Arroyo.
13:38 Nice receive by Jove. One hand it's set to Jackie Acuña.
13:42 Acuña getting her first point.
13:45 Teammates play and now you can help in some sort of way.
13:49 Bertolano trying again. And she prevails.
13:53 But I see the efforts coming from the Farm Fresh Foxes.
13:57 You can see that there is still glimpses of hope for the squad.
14:02 By the way they haven't gone over 15 points in this match as Vanny Gander scores again.
14:09 Ball through. Romero to the open.
14:13 Led by two blockers. Giselle, Jackie, Jove.
14:18 Quite low. One more time for Signal.
14:21 Lodin Troncoso. Not much power there.
14:24 Romero on to Chini. The rally continues.
14:28 Giselle back to the left. Troncoso.
14:31 Quite tight. Romero setting it through.
14:34 See. On to Troncoso again.
14:37 There's Valerio with an easy up.
14:40 And it's Chini going down the line.
14:42 I believe that is outside coming from Chini Arroyo.
14:46 So that's it. Very unfortunate for Farm Fresh unless they challenge.
14:51 But it seems like they're willing to let it go.
14:54 So Signal HD wins in double figures in all of our set points.
