00:00 first. That's a good first ball by Panike. She goes up for the hit.
00:05 And this is the beauty of having a deep bench for Alas, because the players like
00:10 Ara Panike probably not scouted yet by Kazakhstan.
00:12 Mr. Bugiadikuzma actually said that the deep bench will be their asset.
00:19 And the Coliseum.
00:20 And a drought there, a push by Teagagate.
00:30 Chance again for Alas to set up and Gia picked up by the libero.
00:36 Pushing it out to Ara Panike with two points already.
00:43 The perfect decoy to that play.
00:45 Look at the powerful swing of Panike from the left side.
00:49 She will have a strong swing in zone one.
00:59 And Sana Sireshkinat this time dug by Eyalauri.
01:02 Panike again and that's three in a row for Ara Panike.
01:07 What a substitution for Alas Filipinas.
01:13 Ara Panike contributing crucial points for the Philippines.
01:19 It seems that Coach Jorge has found the answer.
01:25 Oh, no, it's a double block.
01:29 And it's point number four for Ara Panike.
01:32 It all started with a strong serving of Gia Duguzman.
01:36 Now they're tallying points from defense as well.
01:43 Look at that block reach for Panike and that will force Kazakhstan.
01:48 The crowd and the millions watching at home and on Filipinas Live.
01:53 Oh, pick up by Don Macandili.
01:56 Panike again!
01:58 Ara Panike.
02:02 Never forget this newly crowned UAAP returning champion.
02:10 She doesn't even start for National University and look at her go against the Bents.
02:14 That replay, we saw her coming.
02:17 She was going for a powerful hit, but last second, she went for a soft touch.
02:21 Oh, no, Ara Panike will register another kill block for Alas Filipinas.
02:27 Magic Buno as we know it here, as her fans will agree.
02:39 Again, it's unstoppable.
02:49 Panike still unchecked by the defenders of Kazakhstan.
02:53 A while ago, she scored a lot of points from the left side.
02:57 This time, she shows her versatility from the right.
03:02 I mean, you see the blockers going up against Ara, but she is able to.
03:06 She found her cut shot midway.
03:08 And now she's scoring from the server side.
03:13 Ara Panike with her first ace today.
03:16 Point number eight for the 19 year old.
03:19 She might just be the first person to enter the double digit mark for Team Philippines.
03:25 In contrast, Kazakhstan is able to score with their serves.
03:32 Panike is still scoring.
03:35 I think she's 100 percent of them.
03:38 Panike clearly has the hot hands for Alas Filipinas.
03:46 Going cross court, hitting the left hand of the middle blocker of Kazakhstan.
03:49 Reverse set. Panike, why not?
03:55 You got the hot hand.
03:58 That's point number seven.
04:01 I think point number nine, actually.
04:04 We'll check that, but Ara Panike
04:07 actually just has really come through.
04:11 She is the big surprise for.
04:14 She has had a field day
04:17 in attacking the defense of Kazakhstan.
04:21 Panike full of power in that last hit,
04:24 targeting the seam of the double block of Kazakhstan.
04:27 And catch up to the Kazakhs, who are really going all out on their offense.
04:34 Again, you know, we've noticed every time they come off a timeout,
04:41 they're able to convert, which is a good sign for Team Philippines.
04:44 Full swing again for Ara Panike.
04:46 That is why she is in the starting unit.
04:49 Nikolayeva dug by Katindig.
04:56 Wow. What a hit from Ara Panike.
05:03 That's back to back points for Alas Filipinas.
05:06 Double block was there for Kazakhstan.
05:11 Zone one was open in the back row.
05:13 Really an advantage that she there is no height disadvantage for her at six feet
05:19 and also the timing on her attacks.
05:22 Back row attack.
05:25 Oh, wow. It's still Panike who will score that point.
05:28 What a great read.
05:30 I mean, talk about the young one outplaying the veteran.
05:34 Panike is just locked in.
05:37 She is a focus. Hang time.
05:40 He is getting the points for the Philippines.
