00:00 That was the only game in double digits for Patio Rendeon so far in the All-Filipino Conference.
00:05 The next best scoring game was 8 against the Pool Smashers.
00:08 And we're off here in the opening set.
00:10 Filipino is blocked. Good coverage by Tang Ponce.
00:13 Battle at the net and a nice hit.
00:15 Sydney Yegos with the first point of the opening set.
00:18 And no ball was able to go through from Choco Mucho on that first rally to Capital One.
00:23 So I think part of the game plan of Coach Roger is to compensate for the height.
00:27 Because we can see that Estrella is also a tall player.
00:31 But that time, Sissy Nundina won the shorter players on the other side.
00:36 What a score!
00:37 That was a perfect shot by Sissy.
00:43 Yet the most extensive PBL coverage for only P149 pesos a month.
00:47 Back to the panel.
00:48 Alright, thanks very much Franny.
00:50 Well, the record speaks for itself.
00:52 At 6-1, it shows you that anybody that Coach Dante Andrucinuig puts on the floor
00:57 really contributes for the Flying Titans.
00:59 But a good save defensively right there by the Solaris Pikers.
01:02 Molde, her second straight point.
01:04 Former Lady Altus.
01:14 Rostovino with a serve.
01:16 Singh down the line. Got it.
01:18 Singh playing very well here in the opening set.
01:21 UAP Season 78 Rookie of the Year, Issa Molde with a serve.
01:24 Good pass by Reyes.
01:26 Clemente with a little drop shot.
01:29 Nundina bounces it off the block.
01:32 Catuno, finding Jhorelle Singh.
01:35 What a dig, Issa Molde.
01:37 Underhand pass from Madayad.
01:40 Catuno back to Singh.
01:42 Cross court. Tang Ponce overpass.
01:44 Reyes, longest rally of the opening set.
01:47 Singh looking to finish it. Not yet.
01:49 Tang Ponce pops it up. Dina Wong back row.
01:51 Issa Molde with a tip.
01:53 Quick hands. Solaris Pikers keeping it alive.
01:56 Chance ball for the Flying Titans.
01:58 Running attack. Madayad, Issa Molde, popping it up.
02:02 Marenda'in back row.
02:04 Terrific job on the floor by both teams.
02:08 Catuno to Singh.
02:10 There's a block. Singh.
02:12 Quick reflexes for coverage.
02:15 Issa Molde setting it over.
02:17 Sissy Nundina.
02:19 Oh, wow.
02:20 1-2 play for Catuno.
02:22 The crowd erupts in every shot.
02:24 Madayad finally puts a stop to the rally.
02:28 But I mean, if that was a preview of what's in store for us in this game,
02:32 then we might just be out for a long afternoon in both teams.
02:37 The All-Filipino Conference, the first one,
02:40 and the Invitational Conference.
02:42 So they're hoping for a much better finish here in 2024.
02:45 Royce Tubino, the new pickup from the Lady Troopers.
02:49 Pati Orendain sending it over.
02:51 Tang Ponce picking it up.
02:52 Wong back to Nundina.
02:54 And she nails it.
02:56 Balls to those areas that the opponent thought would be dead.
03:01 And then suddenly they would counterattack.
03:03 And Sissy Nundina and her explosive hits.
03:05 Because it's different when Pati Orendain is hot.
03:08 One after the other.
03:11 Great pass again by Tang Ponce.
03:13 Tubino, one-handed dig is good.
03:16 Makatuno popping it up.
03:17 Ladicho sending it over.
03:18 So many chance balls for the Flying Titans here in the opening set.
03:21 Tubino with a push.
03:22 Estrella again with coverage.
03:25 Jharrel Singh.
03:26 Nina Wong.
03:27 Ponce.
03:29 Molde is rejected.
03:31 Molde with coverage.
03:32 Chance ball here for the Blue Shirts.
03:35 Estrella blocked by Molde.
03:37 Makatuno back to Singh.
03:40 Great coverage coming from Tang Ponce.
03:43 Another long rally in the making.
03:46 Pati Orendain nears Nina Wong.
03:48 Tang Ponce will play setter for Estrella.
03:52 Great defensive pattern by both teams.
03:55 Jharrel Singh, cut shot.
03:58 Back row.
04:00 Nundina and the crowd getting into it now with each and every shot.
04:05 Wong.
04:06 And Shari Dunak.
04:08 Two in the middle that have entered the long rally so far in this opening set.
04:12 Capital One got the display against Chocomucho.
04:17 Kaya Rabatino smart enough to end that rally with this Nunag hit.
04:24 And I think it also boils down to scouting.
04:27 Kasi we have the top digger in Tang Ponce on the other side.
04:32 Tapos very talented middle blockers who are also known for net defense in Madayag and Nunag.
04:37 So, pumunta dito yung Capital One nang prepare talaga.
04:41 And they needed to compensate in defense just to make up for the counter attack that does.
04:47 Chocomucho will be pulling off today as we see another point from Issa Molde.
04:53 Today, Ganina different angles this time.
04:56 Off with a tip shot.
04:58 Madayag but just going all power on that last hit.
05:01 Almost an overpass there by Cicero Ndina.
05:04 Mati Orinde sets it up for Rolly Estrella and she is rejected.
05:09 We saw it right in front of our eyes. Talaga ang ganda ng payong do ni Molde.
05:14 Makatuno.
05:23 Goes back to Patty.
05:25 Yes! No, it's wide.
05:27 Could have been back to back points.
05:30 They're not going to challenge the call anymore.
05:33 Meanwhile, Nunag with three.
05:35 Beg your pardon, I think that's four points already.
05:38 Des Clemente got it.
05:40 More offensive weapons, self-defense.
05:43 Makita na natin what they can do.
05:45 After that call, more players are stepping up for Coach Roger.
05:49 Good pass by Orindina.
05:52 Dina Wong to Issa Molde.
05:54 First point for Issa Molde in second or two.
05:56 She's picked up eight already.
05:58 Kapital one, let's see if kapital one gets to capitalize on that.
06:03 Underhand pass by Dina Wong.
06:05 Issa Molde is turned away.
06:07 Des Clemente with a monster block.
06:10 By the hands of Des Clemente.
06:12 Look at that.
06:13 Really roofing Issa Molde.
06:15 Mas madevelop pa nila for the next round, for semis.
06:19 Mati Ndina.
06:20 Back to back points.
06:22 So constantly, nalilito din.
06:27 Four points now for Mati.
06:29 No kapital nila dina today.
06:31 She's dealing with a personal matter.
06:36 We hope she gets well soon.
06:40 There's a nice block by Cheney Luna.
06:42 Nagkaro na kasi sila ng run eh.
06:45 So, you know, Coach Roger wanted to still hold on to that momentum that they built.
06:51 Makatuno to Nafaro.
06:54 Finds an opening and scores.
06:57 Parang very easy for Choco Mujo to just pick up.
07:00 Kapag umalik sa katila, bongba.
07:02 Andaming na mostly it's Jurel Singh, even here in the second set.
07:06 So getting Dai Navarro involved has been such a good spark for them.
07:11 Good dig, but an overpass from Jurel Singh.
07:13 Running attack, Cherry Nunag.
07:15 Coverage by Tubino.
07:16 Dina Wong will spike.
07:18 Rivera pops it up.
07:19 Heather Ginuo, blocked by Nunag.
07:21 Makatuno, back row, Singh.
07:24 There's Molde popping it up.
07:26 Tangpon say a little late, but still got it.
07:29 He got the pass and Rivera couldn't get it.
07:32 Needs a lot of spikers to be highlighted here at the sign of Choco Mujo.
07:37 Five-point game.
07:41 10-15, set two.
07:43 Makatuno passes.
07:47 Rivera to Navarro.
07:50 Tubino, blocked.
07:53 And that one.
07:56 Rivera passes Jurel Singh.
08:00 Back row, Cicero and Dina.
08:04 That's popped up by Ginuo.
08:06 Navarro with a tip.
08:08 Oh, great play by Navarro.
08:10 That may have already been a floor touch, but no call by the officials.
08:15 Navarro is blocked.
08:16 Makatuno goes to Singh.
08:19 A fast shoot set.
08:20 There's a tip by Umandal.
08:22 Rodina again, big smile on her face as she flips the line.
08:26 I don't always see players go for the attack and on their way there.
08:31 Her form is also beautiful, both in reception, especially in spiking.
08:36 Nine points now for Issa Molde, matching her output against the high risers.
08:41 Tangpon say, "What a stunning spike."
08:44 Makatuno, kes Clemente is blocked.
08:47 Jurel Singh trying to save it.
08:49 Navarro will send it over.
08:51 Flying Titans asking for four touches.
08:53 There's Maddy Madayad right on the line.
08:56 After only scoring three against the high risers.
09:00 Good serve by Tubino.
09:04 Little play on the ball by Patio Rindon.
09:07 It's a tougher competition.
09:09 So you want more of your players being involved and gaining experience.
09:15 Another short pass.
09:16 General pops it up.
09:18 Regine Arrocha is turned away by Navarro.
09:21 With a block against Arrocha.
09:25 One all.
09:27 Alba, one-handed set.
09:28 A very high push coming from Madayad.
09:30 Navarro counters with a push of her own and scores.
09:33 And the Solar Spikers are on top 2-1.
09:37 Sometimes when your feet are even, you can't move to go closer to the ball.
09:45 Good kick coming from Patio Rindon.
09:48 Chance ball on an overhead toss by Jurel Singh.
09:51 Tubino off-speed.
09:53 Jel Kizon pops it up.
09:54 Rivera passes.
09:55 Another chance ball for the Flying Titans.
09:58 Alba, Maddy Madayad.
10:00 Kizon pops it up.
10:02 Jurel Singh adjusts.
10:03 Puts it in.
10:04 Madayad with the up.
10:07 Off-speed coming from Arrocha.
10:08 Another long rally.
10:09 Singh.
10:10 Villa-General with a dig.
10:12 Back row, Sissi Rondina.
10:14 Rivera.
10:16 Here's Singh.
10:18 To Rondina.
10:20 Alba on a one-two play.
10:21 Kizon was aware and defended pretty well.
10:24 Patty Navarro, yes!
10:25 For Janine Navarro.
10:27 Puts it in.
10:28 The last rally coming from Jurel Singh.
10:30 But prior to that, Maika Ortiz making her presence felt.
10:35 Arrocha.
10:36 Navarro with a pass.
10:39 Singh.
10:40 Alba with the first touch.
10:43 Tubino.
10:44 Pass coming from behind, but didn't bother.
10:47 Large tubino.
10:48 This is a much tighter beginning of the set for both teams.
10:53 But the pattern usually is when the lead is big enough,
10:56 the coaches field in more players.
11:00 And Madres has not played in the last two games of the Flying Titans.
11:05 Back row, Rondina bounces it off the net.
11:07 Good dig coming from Navarro.
11:08 Patty Ortiz in.
11:10 And Rondina has been digging so well in the back row for the Flying Titans.
11:13 Tubino and Navarro also defending so well for the Solar Spikers.
11:18 There's another pass coming from Rondina.
11:21 Ortiz.
11:22 Popped up by Jel Kizon.
11:23 Rivera to Singh.
11:25 Yes! Jurel Singh with a little help from the net.
11:30 Nine points already today after scoring only one in their loss against the Angels.
11:34 Great pass.
11:36 Alba.
11:37 Allowing Alba to be creative on a one-two play.
11:39 Ortiz scoring an ace earlier.
11:43 Singh.
11:45 Alba to Rondina.
11:48 Nowhere to go!
11:50 So for Tubino, she has very big shoes to fill.
11:55 Especially because Kat Tolentino is the second top scorer of the team.
12:00 Number eight overall.
12:01 Great save by Singh.
12:03 Kizon sends it over.
12:05 Underhand.
12:06 Madayag with a pass.
12:07 Ortiz.
12:09 Power tip.
12:10 Picked up by Kizon.
12:11 Here comes Navarro.
12:13 Cross-court hit.
12:14 Tubino.
12:15 A little confusion between Madayag and Ortiz but they still got it across the net.
12:19 Singh.
12:20 Blocked.
12:21 Singh again.
12:24 This time connects.
12:25 And it's check-in with Franny Reyes.
12:28 It's over to Spikers but she is subbed out once again.
12:30 I believe Coach Gureyev has fielded everyone in the lineup.
12:35 Ortiz plays center.
12:37 A little confusion there.
12:39 Pia General will send it over underhand.
12:41 Nice shot by Navarro.
12:45 Straight to the corner.
12:46 Ten points already.
12:50 Ten points already.
12:51 Carrocha.
12:55 Blocked.
12:56 We're tied at 14 on a two-point run by the Solar Spikers.
13:00 Rivera to Singh.
13:02 Blocked.
13:04 Great coverage at the net.
13:06 Flying Titans inching one point ahead.
13:11 Clemente is blocked.
13:12 Makatuda with coverage.
13:13 Clemente.
13:15 Diving for it.
13:16 There's a spike by Ortiz but Solar Spikers keep it alive.
13:19 And Jorelle Singh once again getting through the block.
13:21 But great coverage defensively by the Flying Titans.
13:24 Singh.
13:25 Off the chest of Pia General.
13:27 One-two play for Cece Rondina.
13:30 Two-point lead for the Flying Titans.
13:33 Makatuno to Orendain.
13:35 Catches the corner.
13:37 So it's back to a two-point game.
13:41 19 serving 21.
13:42 Solar Spikers still in a position to steal a set here.
13:47 Soft block coming from Kat Villegas.
13:49 Landicho sends it over.
13:50 General.
13:52 Back row Rondina.
13:54 Off speed.
13:55 One-handed dig is still good.
13:57 What a save.
13:58 Solar Spikers still in the play.
14:00 There's coverage.
14:03 Arrocha.
14:04 Landicho pops it up.
14:05 Navarro.
14:08 Got it.
14:09 Back to back points for the Solar Spikers.
14:11 And it's a one-point game.
14:13 Very impressive game for her against Chocomucho.
14:16 11 points now for Navarro.
14:18 Rubino with a push all the way to the back.
14:22 Landicho will set it up for Jharrel Singh who has the hot hand.
14:25 Peder.
14:28 Underhand pass.
14:29 Arrocha will hit.
14:30 Fives!
14:31 The opening and scores stopping the run of the Solar Spikers.
14:34 At the back row.
14:36 Just like how she scores in the front row.
14:39 Clementes blocked.
14:41 And that's gone.
14:42 [crowd cheering]
14:48 Navarro.
14:49 Overpass.
14:51 Clemente loses the joust against Marius Alba.
14:54 And the defying Vikings get a three-set sweep of the Capitals fight.
