But Bella Belen and Fifi Sharma rose to the occasion, firing crucial attacks and a kill block to force a 25-all count.Eya Laure ended long rallies that put the Philippines at match point twice, 26-25 and again at 27-26, but Indonesia found the answers. Setter Tisya Amallya Putri&#x27;s gutsy drop caught the Nationals off-guard, as an off-the-block hit on Laure sent Indonesia to set point once more at 29-28. Belen and Alyssa Solomon came through this time, as the opposite spiker&#x27;s long shot went in, and Belen&#x27;s off-the-block hit knotted the match at 30-apiece.The Indonesians reached set point for the last time after a Chelsa Berliana Nurtomo quick hit, 30-31.Alas Women took the next three points off another Solomon hit, Sharma&#x27;s kill block on Ersandrina Devega, and the game-ending attack error from the same Indonesian hitter to close out the match in two hours and five minutes. Solomon, Leg 1 Best Opposite Spiker, led the Alas scoring with 19 attack points, while Belen and Laure had a total of 17 markers each. Dell Palomata&#x27;s net defense was superb as well, gaining six kill blocks en route to a nine-point total. Jia de Guzman, who orchestrated the Filipino offense, had 27 excellent sets, tallied four points on three attacks and one block.
