This is UABC's 88th best volleyball. And as for the Adamson's Taurang Falcons, Menor, Coquimbal, Domingo, Orlos, and Besorio, join us on what supports the UAP varsity channel and on the Pilipinas Live app. Jamie Lavatoria here, alongside Paneng Dekonex-Warder. UST draws first blood, courtesy of Josh Ibanez. Paneng, you gotta give credit to Adamson, especially in their last match against the NU Bulldogs, pushing them to five sets. That's right, and we heard earlier during the interview, even though they lost that game, at least they were able to challenge the defending champions. Besorio, targets Trevor Valera. High set to Josh. Off the block, that's a good swing by Josh Ibanez. Katinsad. Still the same target, Costello. And what a bullet going down the line. I want to know where it went through. That was a huge opening. Domingo. What another swing by Richard Besorio, who's only in his first year. But he saw that huge opening. Usually the first instinct of open hitters when they see that crosscourt open is to really hit. What a serve. Josh Ibanez. Ooh. That's a good swing from T-Boy De Vega from the back. Trevor Valera, when he went for that. Aiko. Domingo. Back row, activate. That sails outside for UST. Good serve. Domingo. Shoot set. Ooh. And that's another down the line from rookie Richard Besorio. He was the one who got the first ball but still able to have that full approach and a good target for Besorio. Domingo. To De Vega. A quick activated this time from Valera. Now from both squads whenever they get that good first ball. So it's a good time for them to activate their middle attackers at this extended first set. Ooh. Good bullet yet again from Besorio who went for that block but still it seems like it keeps working for Adamson. Avila. To Josh. Ooh. My goodness me. It was a strong down the line hit. Guys, that's why you have to watch the game fly. Right? Josh Ibanez goes for the approach. What a serve. Overpass. Ooh. And UST take a look at this one more time. Adamson and UST advantage of that one. Domingo. Domingo will start things off here. And that back row has been effective for John Chris Aiko of UST. De Vega. Almost a service ace there. Richard goes down the line. Avila. To Trevor. And it works again for Trevor Valera from their middle attacker. So whenever they get that good first... Avila. Josh is down the line. Keeps working for Josh Ibanez. Besorio with 10 points. Alabar. And it works for UST. It all started with a good first ball. There was a clear miscommunication on where will Avila set that up. One more time. Five points from Tan. Aiko with a soft serve. That's a quick side out for Adamson there. Another activation from the middle blockers. Valera. Goes to Ahmed. Domingo. Josh still the target. Monster block by Leo and Tan. Take a look at that again. Good timing and good wave there. The down the line angle of Josh Ibanez. He'll block from Tan. Avila as well came off the bench and set number one and is starting here in set number two. And Aiko has been causing a lot of problems for UST and a good response after the time out by coach Augie. Domingo. Oh wow. Too good. But coming from that time out they need to have a stronger net defense. That was inside right in the corner pocket of Adamson. Tan goes to Alabar. Back row to Josh. Good dig by Tan. Back row. De Soto goes for a tip. Free ball by UST. Gay. Ornos. Set point. Adamson. Ornos reading that perfectly. One on one in the middle. And Ornos climbed that pretty well with that wave on the arm. Set number two with a solo block. Avila to start things off. Visorio. Off the block works for Adamson. Visorio on deck. Avila. Good defense by Domingo. Tan. Angle. Angiludin. Good receive. Avila. De Vega. And Domingo was there. Just taking advantage of that one. Trevor. Faulty reception by Adamson. Avila. To Katinsag. And no one to help Costello. That's a good serve. Valera to Richard. Ahmed goes cross. Josh goes down the line. And it looks like he's going cross. Oof. Bullet. That's off the block for Josh Ibanez. Aiko serves short. Ahmed is blocked. Ornos was there for the coverage. Ornos. That's a good strategy coming from Ron Domingo. Really well is Domingo the setter of Adamson. And like what you mentioned the open hitters are checking the blockers of UST. So it's a good time for them to activate their other attackers. Specifically their middle attackers as well. Combination play of Adamson and getting that point is a back row hit of Josh Ibanez. Domingo to Ornos. And we're seeing USC making those in game shots. It's definitely a slow one. A slow set number three for the Falcons. Oof. There we go. Ahmed coming from the back row. He targeted that area. And there was a good kill block from Adamson and UST was just looking on where the ball will land. Adamson just down by four. A good side out by Trevor Valera. Avala to Richard misreceived out of system play. Off speed. Avala was there and Josh Josh Ibanez is going to kill the flashes of your smart phones. Oof. Shouts at the net. Domingo Avala Oof. What a block there by Coquimbal. That was a good timing. Aiko is blocked. Avala pushes it to the left. And the Vega gets it for UST. They need to have a good game plan and a team effort to get a win against Adamson. Set number three was the cleanest set so far for UST only with two unforced errors. And Valera Good serve. Loaded serve. Avala pushing that to the left. The Vega against Adamson. Over ball. Avala back row to Josh. Good coverage by Aiko. Out of system play the Vega goes down the line and it's inside. So it means his contact was a bit too low because Ahmed now in for Adamson. That's a good side out coming from Captain Leo. So it's going to be an advantage for them to set up high for their quick hits. And as for Adamson needing to pull away to extend this match and it is inside service ace for the Vega. Leo and the Vega just smiling at each other. We love that. Oh Valera rather. It was Valera. Good receive by Richard. Instant impact and maybe this is what Adamson needs here. Ahmed goes to Alabar. Good coverage by Avala. Dubois with the reverse. Good efforts by Costello. Adamson with the free ball. Avala with a one-two play. Ornos on deck. Good serve. Good receive by Josh. Avala good cut in zag. Full front row now for UST. Avala good serve. Not a good first ball for Adamson. And there's a touch. Yup. They're already focusing on Josh Ibanez forgetting about the middle attackers of UST. That's why they were left in the block during that quick hit of UST. But a good response here for Adamson. Garces targets Alabar. Missed set by Avala. Costello denied at the net by UST. Alabar. First time we're seeing that short running attack by cut in zag. That's a good play coming from UST. That is where they fall apart I would say. Tesorio and Alabar was actually in the way. We love the passion. Avala to Josh. And Ornos was unsteady in defense. Not ready. Cut in zag. Goes to Ahmed. Strong game with the reverse. And Testado is blocked by Devega. Service ace for Adamson. Tesorio. Miss Q. Another tip for Devega. Domingo is there. Testado is blocked. Testado again. Good receive by Devega. Match point saved. To make it to the final four with just two wins as Trevor Valera.
