00:21 (Commentator) "Reminding us about one of the starters being out, Jean Soreno."
00:25 "Teguzman with the approach, La Rosa saw that coming.
00:33 Gagate asking for it.
00:35 And Teguzman could not keep it in play.
00:38 Sorry, that's Tsunashima, couldn't keep it in play.
00:41 7th."
00:41 "Great transition play there, activation from the middle, Gagate."
00:50 "Good first ball there.
00:51 Double block.
00:55 16-7."
00:57 "Casey Cortez was the one who, Coach Surio, also used a lot in that game."
01:05 "Oh man, the blocking of De La Salle."
01:10 "You can have this drag and blocking, just reading all the offense."
01:17 "Throughout the years, they really try to close down the leading scorer,
01:21 the leader of their opponent.
01:23 And right now, they are closing Leande Teguzman in that second attempt."
01:28 "And Coronel and Gagate on this left pin here.
01:31 Look at that, almost not moving anymore.
01:34 And then obviously, as you know, Ariel."
01:36 "EP collegiate volleyball, that's really foundational years for these players."
01:43 "Great point."
01:46 "Coverage by Malaluan this time.
01:49 Lapu trying to identify that hole.
01:53 Malaluan goes cross, Doromal was there waiting.
01:59 Doromal again, taking it straight in the chest.
02:05 But Ateneo unable to keep it up."
02:07 "From Doromal, right on the same spot.
02:11 It's just that it was too strong for her to contain and then the difficulty..."
02:15 "Misjudged it."
02:17 "That's true."
02:18 "Running attack, easy dump by Thea Gagate.
02:24 21-8 lead in the first."
02:27 "That's also because they have a good passing, you see..."
02:30 "They did get the point anyway.
02:31 And the second referee didn't allow it anymore.
02:35 Off the rebound, good reaction there.
02:39 Left-hand dig by De Guzman, but again..."
02:42 "Whoever is going to be on the top seed..."
02:45 "Kumbaga, you're going to need that twice to be an advantage.
02:47 Whoever is the number one."
02:50 "Gagate is on a mission today.
02:52 Nine points."
02:53 "The task for LaSalle is to set up Gagate, and it has been working for them."
02:58 "In previous matches, from going to the middles,
03:01 they've been so Shyvana Lapu."
03:04 "That's true, wing attackers."
03:07 "But if they want the USP, they want everyone to be involved in attacking."
03:14 "With the protocols, with the digging, and all of that.
03:17 So we probably are nearing that, the time when she will come back,
03:22 and we will not be surprised if we see her next Sunday."
03:25 "That is near go time."
03:29 "Malapit na.
03:30 Again, important game coming for them."
03:34 "Wala ka namang plano sa linggo."
03:38 "Everyone's gonna pause their life, and sit down, and watch volleyball on that day."
03:45 "Again, Gagate has been..."
03:51 "Gagate asking for it.
03:57 Oh, good.
03:58 Good reaction by Pacia there to keep it up."
04:01 "This is a better spark for Ateneo, as we take a look at the Gagate spike again."
04:07 "Esperos goes to De Leon.
04:12 And Gagate identifies the open spot.
04:17 Drops it.
04:18 Point already, partner."
04:19 "Simple attack, but an effective one for Gagate, as he mentioned."
04:24 "16."
04:29 "Esperos rolls it to the other side.
04:32 Smart, but Turinel with the reaction here.
04:34 Chance again to attack.
04:35 Esperos looks at the defense.
04:37 Oh!
04:40 This one moves out."
04:43 "And a floppy formation.
04:44 Close down Esperos."
