00:00 And she also told me that for their recent games and for today, the team has had to avoid being on their phones before games.
00:07 But as a result, they've actually been able to talk and interact more.
00:10 Part of this routine that keeps her grounded is her habit of reading Bible verses daily, which she started when the season began.
00:17 This morning, she told me that the verse that she read was about trusting the prophet.
00:21 So no Angel Canino for La Sala and a compromised Bella Belen, who says she's perfectly fine. Well, I'm sure no player will tell you that, you know, that they're not feeling well.
00:33 That's Alisa Solomon, who, by the way, Alisa Solomon has been the puzzle for Coach Ramil De Jesus.
00:41 She's just so good.
00:43 Goes through.
00:48 Won't allow an up referee. Romulo Reforzado says no. Coach Ramil checks with Coach Noel.
00:54 Patas ng patas from season 84 to season 86. That's why she's also one of the top picks of Alams Lamina when it comes to attacking.
01:02 Another one from Bella Belen. A cut shot from the other side earlier, the right pin. Now the cut shot from the left side.
01:11 All in attendance, all La Sala champions. We're going to see a lot of them here in the venue.
01:18 Their team is a victim of a 5-0 run right now.
01:22 Ah, the power tip by Provido. She really has some force on her. I don't know.
01:36 First ball there. Off the rebound. Coronel goes to Malaluan. Denied by Solomon.
01:44 Basketball. I believe that's Shivana Laput's mother also that is in front of Coach Topex.
01:51 As we resume play here, Alinsug goes to the runway. That's dropped onto the line.
01:59 Alinsug who averages 15.1 points for National University. It's good first ball by Deleon to Malaluan this time.
02:08 She's already consistent sa harapan. But if she gets that pipe attack really going, that will be trouble for NU.
02:17 Alinsug was there for the dig. Pombita by the way came in on that double shot. Oh, great exchange here.
02:25 Bono opens up to Belen. Belen goes behind the block and it's in, out, in, out.
02:34 That is inside. 19-16. That's just smart hitting from Bella Belen. Correct.
02:41 Shivana again from behind unleashes one. Perfect height this time. Our DJ was thinking of a timeout.
02:51 Perfect pass. Laput and a block out and NU unable to protect their four-point lead. Lasal takes set number one.
03:02 Alinsug off the runway.
03:05 Dea Cagate just drooping, bancho de todo.
03:16 Lamina will go to Alisa Solomon. Dea will go for the power tip.
03:22 Sheena Turing by the way in the match for the very first time. Combination play. Unable to hit that cleanly was Sorenyo.
03:32 Loose ball now here for the Lady Spikers.
03:36 Belen. Solomon gets the first point for National U.
03:43 To quickly overcome the frustrations and move forward.

03:56 Now back to the pad.
03:58 Very appropriate report there.
04:00 They're stepping up when it comes to net defense. They've already registered two kill blocks.
04:06 And the one service ace after that three aces.
04:10 Notice that she was struggling with the pressure and feeling down recently after those last two games.
04:15 They sat her down and in Shavonna's words they told me, "Let us, your athletes, take that pressure from you."
04:20 You're still young especially in terms of learning volleyball.
04:23 But it was hard fought. I think I and I mean we make fun of it but we understand where they're coming from.
04:29 Again, we did talk about how their game against UP and UAE was not the sharpest by the standards of LaSalle.
04:38 A high ball there.
04:40 Kitang-kitang yung pasa.
04:42 Belen from the middle.
04:44 Belen will go to Alinsug.
04:49 Alinsug will send it over.
04:51 Gets us going for this rally.
05:00 Lapot.
05:04 Right on top of that ball.
05:07 Couldn't do anything about that.
05:09 Belen, who's crossed. De Leon was there.
05:18 Shavonna again.
05:20 And she continues to fire away.
05:24 Lamina will go for it.
05:31 Saved by LaSalle.
05:33 Very tight.
05:34 Naibalik ni Lam's Lamina.
05:37 Back to the UAE.
05:40 The 8-7 and U.
05:43 Coronel.
05:45 Running attack back.
05:46 Oh, Leo.
05:47 Yan yung kanina pa.
05:49 Hinihigit ni Jorge Ramil de Jesus.
05:52 Coronel.
05:58 Malaluan will go for the cut.
06:00 And it drops in.
06:02 Tonight she has already registered five points.
06:05 Again, last game, two points lang.
06:07 But they still won that match against Ateneo.
06:11 All part of the four-game winning streak that they have.
06:15 Great timing by Erin.
06:23 Soreno.
06:25 Again, synthesizing the cross.
06:28 By the defenses of LaSalle.
06:32 But she came in, made some impact.
06:34 Eto, binigyang agad.
06:36 And that's what she does right away.
06:38 I remember that first round matchup.
06:41 Four points in limited time in that first round matchup.
06:45 A lot of promise for her and Bambita for this national routine.
06:50 Siya na naman.
06:51 Oh, again.
06:52 This is like déjà vu for me, Neil.
06:55 15-14.
06:59 Soreno.
07:01 Ardio was there.
07:04 Belen naman dito sa kabila.
07:06 Stopped and popped by Soreno.
07:08 Very tight set.
07:10 Nagawan pa rin ang parahan ni Laput.
07:12 They keep it alive.
07:13 And they send it for a free ball for the green and white.
07:16 And Laput without anybody in front of her.
07:19 Say goodbye to that.
07:21 Say goodbye to that.
07:23 Panike.
07:31 Three points off the bench.
07:34 Solomon able to roll it to the other side and still score.
07:43 Yun yung gagawin sa kabilang court.
07:49 Dig pass to the other side.
07:51 Bella Belen finding a hole.
07:56 Get the point for Enyu.
07:58 Eight points for her.
07:59 For Belen.
08:00 22-21.
08:02 Palitan ng puntos tayo dito.
08:04 And Lazal is trying to milk Siobhan Laput in front.
08:08 Eliza from behind.
08:16 Guard by De Leon.
08:18 Malaluwa in cross court.
08:20 Lamina trying to score.
08:25 And guess what?
08:26 TLSU takes over the lead.
08:29 On Signal TV.
08:30 Boom Gonzales, Neil Flores, Enyu and Lazal.
08:33 Round 2 as we are towards the end now of the elimination round.
08:38 And some tough competition still to come.
08:42 I know.
08:47 Lamina.
08:48 I thought she was gonna go to a combination with Eliza Solomon
08:53 who was right behind Sheena Turing.
08:55 Ball stopped by Sorenyo.
09:02 Free ball from that loaded serve.
09:04 Yun yung pumatong.
09:06 Scrambling are the Lady Spikers.
09:11 Lamina.
09:12 Balik kay Turing.
09:13 Cornell with a dig.
09:15 Siobhana from the right pin.
09:17 Off the rebound.
09:18 Counter attack down the line.
09:22 4-1 for TLSU.
09:26 5-point lead.
09:28 Yun yung momentum na pinag-usapan ni Jules kanina.
09:31 Gangate. Scratches the line.
09:35 I don't understand why it is let ball to begin with, Neil.
09:40 Yeah, me too.
09:43 So the official score will be 8-3.
09:46 Back to 8-3, right.
09:47 Instead of 9-3.
09:49 Alright, so here we go.
09:50 Laput from behind.
09:55 So now it's 8-4.
09:56 Now, Solentino will hit from the right side.
10:03 Kanina nakita natin siya sa left side.
10:05 So, ambilis din nung in-game adjustments ng Lady Spikers.
10:09 Salabon.
10:13 10 points for her.
10:14 Nang universities ngayon.
10:16 You would see the juniors division also getting a lot of hype.
10:20 But she can do that too.
10:23 She can still do that.
10:25 She's also in the top 10 of our efficiency numbers, obviously.
10:31 She's also in the top 10 of the serving department.
10:36 Top 10 in digging.
10:41 Rovido with the serve.
10:42 Turing.
10:45 What a move by Coach Norman Miguel to replace Chani Maaya with Sheena Turing, who is a veteran.
10:51 Niremind lang ni Coach Ramil that you might be forgetting that you have a very tall outside hitter in the left pin.
10:58 Who has 14 points across her name right now.
11:02 But right now, this lead continues to be pat on.
11:06 By the way, they had also in round 1.
11:10 Same story.
11:11 Same story so far.
11:12 Maybe not the same way the games and the sets have gone.
11:17 Alinsug.
11:23 Airborne!
11:24 And for Alinsug, that will be her 12th point.
11:30 Being the best blocking team in the league consistently almost every year.
11:36 So we go to a fourth set with NU.
11:38 With two, sorry, two sets to one lead.
11:40 You get your flow early on in the set.
11:43 At magtutuloy-tuloy yun until the very end.
11:45 Now, their backs are against the wall.
11:48 And as I say that, they come up with a kill block against Alinsug.
11:54 Pag makontrol ng Lasal yung net, we might just go into a final set.
12:01 But for NU, they will continue to attack the defense of Lasal.
12:05 There was Tea again in that sequence.
12:07 Naput from behind.
12:09 3-0 run!
12:10 They were capable of winning even if all odds were against them.
12:15 Just like how a chain is only as strong as its weakest link in Shavonna's words.
12:19 One little doubt can bring the team down.
12:21 We all have to make sure we have the confidence in our team that we're going to do well and beat NU.
12:26 This report is brought to you by the Pilipinas Live app.
12:29 3-0 counter run by National U.
12:34 Malaluan.
12:38 Dog by Lamina.
12:40 Solomon, again trying to twist.
12:43 Lapot!
12:46 Oh, what an open gap!
12:48 Donut hole!
12:50 Shavonna developing some smarts.
12:53 And show everything they've practiced on the court.
12:55 He ended the huddle by urging the NU Lady Bulldogs to use their advantages to triumph in the following set.
13:01 And to hopefully end this match in their favor.

13:16 De Leon with a perfect pass.
13:24 Eprovido managing to...
13:29 to...
13:30 Good first ball by Aliyah.
13:35 Agagate delayed by the blockers of NU.
13:39 That's Turing again.
13:40 Neal, Uribe.
13:42 She won't get a lot of credit.
13:44 Lapot's fouls.
13:46 Kalinsut goes high.
13:51 Lapot from behind.
13:55 There it is again!
13:56 And it's done!
13:57 Here in the fourth.
14:03 Trying to force a fifth.
14:05 It's a great set by Pono.
14:10 For those of you who have not seen her...
14:14 Ardio.
14:19 Challenged.
14:21 That will drop in!
14:24 Good shot from Kalinsut!
14:26 Set four.
14:28 A race to three.
14:29 With NU in offense.
14:32 Kalinsut again!
14:34 And she pounds the pavement!
14:38 For this crucial one.
14:41 She does.
14:43 Overpass!
14:45 That is out!
14:48 And NU finally gets a win over DLSU!
14:53 S-U!
14:54 (applause)
