YMCA Super Volleyballiga Midseason Recap: Suprises, Studs Duds and More!

 As we head into 2nd half the super competitive YMCA Volleyball LIGA, here are our surprises, studs and duds of the LIGA;
 
Surprises SET TO KILL, Competitive Balance
  • STK came to the LIGA looking for a challenge, as their previous leagues didn't hold a challenge for them; and right now, they have established themselves as a championship contender with a 8-4 record - good for 2nd place; 
    Can STK go all the way?

  • After losing the worst two teams in the Wed LIGA and adding STK, the league actually got Better; Every week you must battle to win the series, and note: former LIGA champions are currently in the bottom half of the standings

STUDS: BALL BUSTERS

BB has shown improvement every season, and this could be the year they achieve a LIGA Championship; They seem focused, and have enough talent to maybe hoist their first title in 2015


SHOCKERS: NET LOVE, DARKSIDE

  • Where is the LOVE? Former champs cant seem to find their rhythm, but as everyone knows - its not how you start, but how u finish
  • After winning a tough LIGA Title last season, seems that newly named DARKSIDE has taken a dark turn- towards mediocrity; Are they prepping for a title defense, or will they stay in the middle of the pack?
