00:00...in which he does these substitutions, it will be key.
00:04First point will go to the Philippines, Teja Gagate will see all aggression right away from Teja.
00:10And again, for Las Filipinas, the key here will definitely be their service game.
00:17This is something that worked for them all throughout the tournament.
00:21Kasey Hogan, 20-year-old, talking about her, it's not a usual starter.
00:27Oh, brilliant play from Cece Rondina.
00:31And how she saw that hole on the other side really is a mystery at 5'5".
00:38Take a look at the ball control, deceiving the floor defense of Australia.
00:45A reverse again to Nino, this time gets it through.
00:50That's another point, and it is tip for tat so far in this first set.
00:55Looks like Nino has done her homework here, finding all the weak spots on the floor defense of Australia.
01:11The younger players as well, 23-years-old.
01:19Chance here for the Philippines, Gagate!
01:25Australia on to a Las Filipinas here, Gagate one more time, and there's Gia for you!
01:31Just the trust that she has in her teammates.
01:34Exactly, Gia Morado de Guzman starting to play fast volleyball here, activating the middles,
01:40giving Teja Gagate that second attempt, perfect spot, and that be quick attack to counter Australia.
01:51She scored 11 the last time out.
01:54Let's see where Gia goes, back to Angel Codino with that great cut shot.
02:03Smooth plays coming from Gia Morado de Guzman, the session making on point right now.
02:11And that's 4 points for Angel Codino, and a 4-point lead, 5 points for the Philippines.
02:18And Angel's cohesiveness, which is definitely what we are seeing,
02:23plus these service aces and really minimized errors on the court for the Philippines,
02:33they're playing very clean so far.
02:356-point advantage for Alaska.
02:42First wall, just perfect execution, starting with that perfect first pass.
02:47We've talked about the attackers, but we have to mention Nierva and Don Macandili-Catindigo
02:53has been solid in the floor defense.
02:57Big serve, what a pickup by Nierva though.
03:05Ball still good, this one is over, chance here for Australia to set up, not quite.
03:12Gia with the ball, Fifi with the quick.
03:15Back row, a little confusion on the Australia side.
03:20Great pickup by Australia reading that one, but the ball at the point will be given to Alas-Philippinas.
03:29A variety of attacks coming from Cici Rondina is really making the floor defense of Australia work.
03:37For Alas-Philippinas, Australia definitely.
03:43And Canino just refuses to give in, and we are seeing the Philippines just doggedly determined in today's match.
03:53Angel Canino again and again, she has been that scoring machine.
03:59Angel Canino again and again, she has been that scoring machine.
04:05But it's still set point, this could be it for Alas-Philippinas.
04:08Back row attack, Cici Rondina will get the win for Alas-Philippinas in this third set.
04:18Crowd enjoying that last exchange and the first set win.
04:23Alas-Philippinas wins.
04:26Cici Rondina scoring the winning point in the first set for Alas-Philippinas.
04:34Perfect angle there, three blockers but still found that hole.
04:39Marada de Guzman, she just knows that Adapte Agagate has the height advantage here, continues to maximize on that.
04:45But unfortunately, as he mentioned, a net touch error on that one.
04:495'8 and a half is the average height of the Philippines.
04:52Of course, we have a 5-foot Katindig who has skewed the average.
04:56But we also have 5'5 Cici Rondina who plays like she is 6'2.
05:02You know, I'm not sure if this is a game plan of Australia, but they have been targeting Jen Nierva on the first ball.
05:08And Jen Nierva is one of the best passers of Alas-Philippinas.
05:12Right, this time Cici Rondina is able to counter Adapte Agagate.
05:18Will score this time, no net violation.
05:22And we're seeing, as you mentioned partner, a lot of these quick plays, a lot of these transition plays that happen in warp speed.
05:32Does not allow the blockers to establish on the side of Australia.
05:42Good defense by Agagate there.
05:45And Laura finishes it off.
05:49Laura says, I will not waste that effort by Thea Agagate to keep the ball in play.
05:54Thea Agagate just having an all-around game so far from net defense, from offense.
06:00Right now, contributing from the floor defense.
06:03That's an ALR, as you mentioned.
06:08Cassie Dodd, 6'2. Nierva with a perfect pass there.
06:12Fifi Sharma converting. Again, just 1-2-3, just like that for the Philippines.
06:19Has been the middles here so far in the second set.
06:24Thea Agagate, Fifi Sharma with an impact point.
06:28Man, Australia's blockers always really in her face.
06:34Look at that pick-up by Canino. Laura will go again despite that two-man block.
06:39She finds a way through.
06:42It's those angles.
06:46A lot of smooth plays coming from Alas, Filipinas.
06:50You have to credit the floor defense of Angel Canino, of Cece Rondina.
06:56Thea Agagate even.
06:58Seven-point deficit earlier, almost threatening to win that first set.
07:05But Cece Rondina this time, now at the front.
07:09And she is up to no good.
07:12She is really a thorn on the side of the volley rule.
07:16She's got all sorts of tricks up her sleeve.
07:21And Philippines should be taking advantage of this rotation.
07:27It's Canino on the right wing.
07:30And Agagate with that push.
07:34She's having a heyday today. Agagate enjoying her time on the court.
07:40Can't give that overpass against Thea Agagate.
07:44Not timing that one well.
07:47Beating Australia in that overpass.
07:56Canino will go.
07:58She uses the hands of her blocker.
08:00Smart play by Angel.
08:04And again, Janierva delivering the good first ball.
08:08Only one blocker for Angel Canino.
08:14Lauren Cox.
08:16Middle blocker also coming in.
08:18She's six foot four.
08:20Australia at the end.
08:22As we talked about, Gia De Guzman looking for one play.
08:26And then going back to the usual.
08:29Quick with Fifi.
08:31Exactly. Perfect play there.
08:33No blockers. Jumping with Fifi Sharma.
08:37Official from Taipei with that call.
08:39The Philippines with an eight point lead.
08:42Getting closer to winning the second set.
08:46James is working for Angel Canino.
08:50Now the magic from the service line.
08:56We already know how good Angel Canino is.
08:59But she has been a revelation here.
09:03This is an error they definitely want to capitalize on.
09:06And see if they can get a run.
09:08The Philippines now getting closer to the 25 point mark.
09:13That serve. Canino is marked.
09:17And Gia is not.
09:20She just had the perfect timing for those one-two plays.
09:26These sneak attacks.
09:28One-two plays are only effective if the timing is perfect.
09:32And Gia Morada De Guzman executing a perfect one-two play.
09:39A three-point for Alas Filipinas.
09:41Several of them.
09:43Let's see if they can get it now.
09:44Will they close out?
09:45Canino from behind.
09:47Good dig by Australia.
09:49Tipping.
09:51Stuck by Eyalauri.
09:53Gondina will go.
09:56We're seeing good defense from the Aussies.
10:02Gondina again.
10:03Evading a two-man block of Australia.
10:06Australia finishing it off one more time for Alas Filipinas.
10:11An easier second set win for them.
10:1425-15 is how that game went.
10:17And look at this crowd.
10:19They're just enjoying every minute of this match so far.
10:23Look at CeCe just totally evading the two-man block.
10:27Again, not the tallest but definitely has the biggest heart in playing volleyball.
10:32Another perfect angle for her.
10:34Avoiding the blockers, challenging the libero.
10:37Alas Filipinas live at one sports, one sports plus.
10:40Enjoying the action as well.
10:41Canino!
10:42Right away with a kill.
10:46There's no mercy for Angel Canino today.
10:49Again, Angel Canino just really embraced her role as an opposite hitter.
10:54Not her natural position.
10:58Daniela Stephens, the playmaker.
11:00Very experienced setter for Australia.
11:06Oh, great pick up there.
11:11Defense on both sides working.
11:13Canino, this time escaping.
11:15Kaitlyn dipping in.
11:17You see the frustration in Dippy's face.
11:19Her body language saying it all.
11:23Angel Canino with two points already in this set.
11:27Kaitlyn dipping.
11:29She read that one well but she could not position herself perfectly to go for that dig.
11:35That has been working for them here.
11:40Outside set to Lowry.
11:42And she pounds the pavement too.
11:46And you know because Lea Gagate is a threat to the offense.
11:50He can't leave her.
11:51Two blockers staying with her.
11:53Giving a lot of, no blockers at all.
11:56Kaitlyn tipping.
11:57Trying to.
11:58Everywhere.
11:59On the Alas Pilipinas side.
12:01And Gia de Guzman knows how to distribute her balls.
12:05Dipping.
12:06Picked up by de Guzman.
12:09Canino with a tip.
12:10Berthen with a save.
12:12Back set.
12:13And look at the blocks.
12:16And the Filipinas decided to join the block party.
12:21The strength of Alas Pilipinas is offense.
12:25So any points in their net defense is a big help.
12:30Especially in scoring 50 sharp.
12:32The advantage that Australia needs to catch up.
12:38Will go up.
12:40Oh deceiving.
12:42And she just changes her mind midair.
12:46Again the versatility of Angel Canino is really her strength here.
12:51Take a look at that.
12:53Pulling the floor defense.
12:55Changing angles.
12:56Changing tempo.
12:57Here in the ABC.
12:59And showing up here for the first time for Australia in this third set.
13:07Oh!
13:08Phoebe Sharma!
13:09Just her eyes on the ball.
13:12After that one-two by Chia de Guzman that was read by Australia actually.
13:20Phoebe Sharma stayed locked in on that one.
13:22Oh look at those eyes.
13:25Laura with nine points today.
13:28And make that ten points after a second service ace from Ella.
13:33She is in double digits now.
13:36Ella Laura playing consistent service game right now.
13:40Has been going to the Libero of Australia in since.
13:44She needs some support.
13:46She needs some help.
13:49She's going for the jump serve.
13:52And Aya taking care of that one.
13:55And Cicero Dino with a finish.
13:59Anyone Australia trying to target in this first ball delivers a perfect first ball.
14:04The reason why there's only one blocker always.
14:08Because again Chia de Guzman is a humongous lead for the Philippines.
14:14Thirteen point cushion for Alas.
14:21Three ball here chance for Chia de Guzman to rebound.
14:24Chia de Guzman got it!
14:26Is a recipient of that set and she scores point number eleven.
14:31Big game for Chia de Guzman today.
14:33Again an all around game being a threat both in offense and defense.
14:39Set point, match point, bronze medal point.
14:43This is a moment in history that we are all anticipating.
14:47Let's see if Australia can foil this one.
14:51Cece!
14:53Nobody home!
14:55In zone!
14:56Five!
14:57The Philippines win the bronze and make history!
15:04Placing for the first time in any international competition.
15:09What an effort by Alas Filipinas.
15:12Coming together, two weeks of preparation.
15:17Fighting with their hearts.
15:18Giving up one match all tournament long and coming home with the bronze.
15:24So Alas Filipinas winning the bronze in flawless fashion.
15:29Take a look at Chia Morada de Guzman with some tears.
15:33She has been the anchor, the heart and soul of this Alas Filipinas team.
15:38Again she had an international experience.
15:41She's the veteran in this team and she has led the team perfectly.
15:46But you know a lot of players also coming alive and stepping up for team Philippines.
15:51Aya Laures, Cece Rondina, Angel Camino, Deia Gagate with an all around game today.
15:58Fifi Sharma being consistent on the service line to get the bronze medal match.
16:04And we have Gen Yerva and Don Macadilly.
