It's Official: PENNEY goes Back to Back; Thursday Final Four Preview

Here's the Headlines for Wednesday Volleyballiga Final Four Recap:

PENNEY stops  HARSHBERGER, goes BACK TO BACK
To win a LIGA Championship is hard, but Team PENNEY was able to win back to back titles for the first time in the team history as they stopped a tough HARSHBERGER squad.
PENNEY played with extreme confiendce, but the major difference was their camaraderie and team flow which put them on another level.

 HARSHBERGER made a serious run in Game 2, but PENNEY dissolved the run with a run of their own, and while the game did get a little feisty, cooler heads prevailed, and PENNEY went on to win their 2nd LIGA Championship.
With it comes the impressive win streak of 58 straight wins, which is an amazing feat in itself.

SEMIFINAL RECAP: 

(3) HARSHBERGER   defeats  (2) CRIDGE  (2-1)to move to LIGA Championship
In the Series of the Night, Team HARSH won the 1st set in convincing fashion, then CRIDGE bounced back with a nice win of its own, forcing a win or go home 3rd Set.
With the game in the fold HARSH was able to grab the late momentum, as they took a lead at 21-20 and never looked back.
HARSH made it to its first ever LIGA Championship game in its first season



(1) PENNEY stops WEASELS  (2-0) for 3rd time to move to Championship
The WEASELS actually had a good season, except for the fact that they couldn't overcome the team known as PENNEY, as the champs was able to move to the LIGA Championship with another great victory over the WEASELS.
While Game 1 was very competitive, Game 2 was all PENNEY as they pulled out a 11-0 run to seize control early and roll to the LIGA Championship.

Here's the results / headlines from the first round quarterfinal action in our Thursday volleyball Liga:

MAMA spreads wings, fly to LIGA Final Four 

1ST ROUND:
(8) SERVING UP A BUZZ  stops (9) HIPSTERS
TEAM SUAB handled business in a 2 set  sweep of broken hipsters. 

QUARTERFINALS

(2) SCHOOLERS  sharp in win vs (7) SHANKAPOTOMOUS 
The Home Schoolers came out very sharp and took away any thoughts of an upset that Shankopotamus had as they controlled the tempo in the two-set sweep.
 Once considered an afterthought, now you must consider the schoolers as a legitimate title contender.


(1) ZACH DIGGS stops former Champs 
The "Hot Squad" in the Liga was able to shut down Serving up a Buzz in two sets, showing that they were just too strong this season for the former Champs.
 Zach Diggs continues to play at a very high level and have to be considered as one of the favorites going into the championship with the 1 seed.


(3) ELLE DIGGS tested, but outlasts (6)CHILL N SERVE 
The Champs arrived fashionably late, but was able to get it together in time to stop a very competitive Chill N Serve Squad.
CNS won the first game but Elle regrouped and was able to stop CNS in the last two games to win the series.
 The Champs seem to be playing with house money, can they turn it up once again and repeat as champions?


(5) HOW I SET YA MAMA defeats (4) TRIMBLE 
In a little bit of a surprise upset, How I set Ya Mama was able to take it to Trimble and defeat the 4 seed and former Champs to move to its 2nd consecutive LIGA Final Four.

Mama was hitting on all cylinders early and often, and Trimble came out a little bit shaky and not on top of its game.

Mama will now try to get to its first-ever Liga championship.
