Kailangan mentally rin prepared.

Segui fired back-to-back service aces before Cantada finished a combination play from the middle.That initiative from their leaders rubbed off the rest of the team, fuelling an exchange of points. Lhouriz Tuddao eventually sent the Baby Falcons into match point after two aces before Ellaine Gonzalvo detonated with her 21st point of the contest to end the nip-and-tuck battle.&quot;In-encourage lang po talaga namin sila na, na &#x27;pag may isang lumalaban, dalawa, o tatlo, kailangang sumama na lahat kasi team effort po talaga &#x27;to. Collective effort talaga dapat &#x27;yung gagawin namin. Kailangan po sumama po sila sa &#x27;min &#x27;pag lumalaban kami,&quot; said Segui, who also finished with 21 markers, six coming from the service line, to go with 12 digs.Gonzalvo contributed a match-high 21 points, including two attacks that gave Adamson a comfortable cushion in the fifth, and 10 digs, while Cantada pinched in 15 points and 11 excellent receptions.Sofia Arasan, who took over Fei Sagaysay&#x27;s playmaking duties, tossed 14 excellent sets.Jhellane Auxtero paced UST with 14 points and 11 digs, while Avril Bron added 11 markers, five coming from blocks.
