ONE HIT WONDERS wins 1st ever LIGA championship

Here's the Recap of a intense Thursday night in the LIGA as a champion was crowned.
Here's a recap of what happened on Thursday night;

ONE HIT WONDERS, LIGA Champions, "Carry On"

SEMIFINALS

(3) HOME SCHOOLERS  slides past (2) BURKS 2-1 
  The SCHOOLERS came out firing, stymied the Champions and won the 1st game...In the 2nd BURKS showed why they hoisted the championship last season, firing on all cylinders. But in game 3, the SCHOOLERS  dominated in the second half of the game, frustrated BURKS, and cruised to a win by a score of 25-16.   



(1) ONE HIT WONDERS  defeat  (5) SERVING UP A BUZZ 
    The WONDERS came into the game feeling pretty confident, and that was evident after a easy game 1 win...But in game 2 SUAB turned up the heat and was able to fluster ONE HIT, winning the game and evening the series...Would ONE HIT lose?
  Not hardly.
  ONE HIT  delivered a dominant performance in the early going, jumping out to a 10-0 lead and never looking back to advance to LIGA Championship.

LIGA CHAMPIONSHIP

(1) ONE HIT WONDERS win 1st ever LIGA Championship over (3) SCHOOLERS squad

In mid- season, the ONE HIT WONDERS were rolling, and then lost a key battle of the classic "1 vs 2" series in the season, dripping them down tk. The 2 spot.
Ever since then they have made it a personal mission to prove the doubters wrong..And to claim the top spot.
  On Thursday night? Mission Accomplished.

  ONE HIT was able to hold off a feisty SCHOOLERS squad, who lost both games 25-20. While ONE HIT won in 2, it was a battle as the SCHOOLERS fought until the end. Howcer, a couple key turnovers and the inability to get ahead really cost the SCHOOLERS.
   Both teams played in their first LIGA Championship.

 Salute the ONE HIT WONDERS
Happy Holidays to all!

NET LOVE wins Wednesday LIGA in epic fashion

When it comes to the LIGA Final 4, anything can happen..
And here are the results from the epic week of high level Volleyball that ended with 2 champions- in different paths no less.

NET LOVE wins another LIGA Championship

Let's take a look a Wednesday Results:


SEMIFINALS

MAKE UP SETS  sweeps  CHAOS 

 MAKE UP came out with precision and was able to thwart a tough CHAOS  squad.  While both games were close, MAKE UP was able to get the key points and win and move on to the Championship.


NET LOVE  defeats  BIG DIGGS=GREAT SETS 

 After BIG DIGGS grabbed the first game, NET LOVE was able to pull off the last two games and pull off a epic win. Game 3 was a nail biter, but NET LOVE showed the Championship resiliency and effort to grind out a win.

CHAMPIONSHIP

NET LOVE defeats MAKE UP SETS  2-1 to win TITLE

NET LOVE  overcame the odds and pulled out a late game victory and win another LIGA Championship
as they defeated the #1 seed to win the title.
In game 1, it looked as if MAKE UP  would be rolling to a championship after winning Game 1. But NET LOVE made a couple adjustments, and won a crucial game 2.
In game 3, MAKE UP SETS seemed to have control of the game, but NET LOVE refueled and got it close before the stretch run. After MAKE UP SETS held the lead at 22-17 they would never serve the ball again as NET LOVE  scored the remaining 8 points to seal the deal and stun the top seed.

    NET LOVE was playing with heavy hearts as the  captain had some family health problems which shook the team up. However they rose up in true champion form.
                 
    Salute NET LOVE on the season.

Thursday LIGAPlayoff Recap: Which higher seed got knocked off?

Here's a recap of the action from the 1st round of Thursday Nights playoff action:

1st Round 

 (8) SHANKAPOTOMOUS   sweep   (9) SETTING DUCKS
   SHANKA was able to grab two close wins and move to next round. Both games were close, but the DUCKS couldn't quite get over the hump.


Quarterfinals 

(1) ONE HIT WONDERS  sweep   (8) SHANKAPOTOMOUS
ONE HIT showed why they claim the top spot as they dominated a SHANKA squad who already were tired and undermanned. ONE HIT has now won 11 straight games.



(2) BURKS    sweep   (7) DAKOTA REALTY
 BURKS displayed the championship mentality that it will take to win it all, defeating a game Dakota team. Both games were fairly close until the late stages where BURKS sealed the deal.



(3) HOME SCHOOLERS    defeat  (6) SMACK YA BALLS  2-1
SMACK TV came out firing, and it looked as if they would move on  after the 25-19 win in game 1. But the SCHOOLERS turned up the intensity, won a tough game 2 & kept the heat up in Game 3 to win. SMACK YA  seemed to be in it midway through the 3rd game, but the SCHOOLERS went on a run to get to the LIGA 4 for the 3rd straight time.




(5) SERVING UP A BUZZ    defeats   (4) CHILL N SERVE   2-1
In the Game of the Week, the former Champs (SUAB) set the tone early & won the 1st game. However, CNS came storming back to win the 2nd and it was 17 -all late in game 3, when SUAB went on the decisive 8-2 run to get back to another LIGA Final 4. Both teams played at a high level and it was definitely a game to remember.




Next Week Schedule

LIGA SEMIFINALS  

(2) BURKS     vs   (3) HOME SCHOOLERS   (6pm) 

     Can BURKS continue its dominating play this season? Or will the SCHOOLERS get to its first ever LIGA Championship? Both teams are playing well, and boast players who can change the game.



(1) ONE HIT WONDERS    vs   (5) SERVING UP A BUZZ  (6:45pm)
 Can a former Champion find the rhythm to defeat the hottest team in the LIGA?  SUAB has been there before, but still looking for the right level.to get them to the top.
As for ONE HIT WONDERS?
Looks as if they on a mission since losing 1-2 battle. Can they be stopped?

Can they crack the top 4?

(7) DAKOTA REALTY   9-12   -  DAKOTA could move up out of 7 spot with a good week....has been a up and down season for Dakota, but they definitely have been playing better of late;  Can they take it up one more notch?



(8) SHANKAPOTOMOUS   4-17   SHANKA has endured it's hardest to date, but still has players that have reached the Liga Final Four....They know what it takes, but can they get that cohesion back?



(9) SETTING DUCKS   3-18   The DUCKS  have been one of the more entertaining teams this season, can they find a slipper and become the Cinderella of the LIGA Playoffs?



(10)  GORDON   1-20   GORDON will look to get back on the board tonight. I know they will be fired up...
