00:05 But the first blood will come.
00:14 First round encounter, Denise UST had problems when it comes to support.
00:20 Josh Ibanez sally 20 points.
00:23 Josh Ibanez was the only player in double digits but for LaSalle there were three players.
00:29 Just really shut Maglina down that last play.
00:34 The heart.
00:36 And finally LaSalle stops the bleeding thanks to their captain Ronquillo.
00:41 For J.M. Ronquillo and Josh Ibanez.
00:45 Ronquillo from the right side of UST.
00:50 If you take out that aspect of the game, our score would be even.
00:56 That's why UST has to be so careful with their errors.
01:00 They don't need to haunt them anymore.
01:03 Defense has been loose for UST.
01:07 From these outside hitters.
01:11 Ronquillo from the back.
01:18 This is the start that UST needed.
01:22 They started slow in set number one.
01:26 Josh Ibanez already at 11 points.
01:30 And a good serve.
01:33 Oh Ronquillo.
01:36 The best option for Echo at the heart.
01:44 Not perfect.
01:46 And he's gonna have to find ways to really make it.
01:49 Make a way with LaSalle's defense.
01:53 And you have Jen Hierva, former UEAV volleyball player.
01:57 You know, enjoying also today's match.
02:00 Yambao to Ibanez.
02:04 Tantay sarado ng DLSU.
02:07 He tries again.
02:08 Guerrero.
02:11 Ronquillo.
02:12 Wow.
02:14 Again.
02:16 Oh captain, my captain.
02:19 Already had that full extension above the net.
02:22 It still wasn't enough to get a touch on the head of Josh Ibanez.
02:27 And finally, JM Ronquillo is 11 points right now.
02:34 That's the role of an opposite hitter.
02:37 The responsibility of JM Ronquillo today would be.
02:40 So, you know, when you're on the net, just flexing your height.
02:46 Poquita to Ronquillo.
02:50 There it is.
02:52 You thought you were the only one with height.
02:55 Me too.
02:56 Again, going down the line, avoiding the block of Josh Ibanez.
03:00 Yambao scrambled for that set.
03:08 Adahar to Ronquillo.
03:14 Overseas.
03:16 In favor again of the DLSU.
03:20 Errors on the dig.
03:22 I mean, challenging the defense of LaSalle.
03:27 Oh.
03:29 Ball was on its way out.
03:31 Frustrate the libero of LaSalle.
03:33 Exactly.
03:34 And I mean, if you were the LaSalle, my goodness, how much pressure you're in right now.
03:43 Does Ronquillo ever feel pressure?
03:45 You don't want to push him to a corner and have them growling back at you.
03:49 Now they target Josh Ibanez on the serve.
03:55 Adahar to Ronquillo.
03:58 Oh man, he's really causing Josh Ibanez in other ways.
04:03 Not just in blocking, but really targeting him for the first ball.
04:11 Avila to Mandal.
04:14 Oh.
04:18 Push works for Jaironquillo.
04:22 Ah, from the consecutive rejection of USD.
04:28 Oh my, oh my.
04:33 But they have to do well in the non-scoring scales.
04:36 They have to get good rebounds.
04:38 But they also have to defend the attacks of LaSalle in the back row.
04:43 Adahar to Ronquillo.
04:52 Oh my gosh.
04:53 He's not a middle blocker, but he can go for these quick attacks.
04:57 Whoa.
