Team FAWLEY was able to stop a game TQL team, who has been to a couple of LIGA Final 4 themselves. FAWLEY was just too strong overall and moves on to its first LIGA Final 4.



#1 PENNEY holds off  #9 CEREAL KILLERS in 3-set thriller
Team PENNEY has rode a wave of success and it was nearly ended in a 3-set barnburner against CEREAL KILLERS. PENNEY came in not on top of its game, and if not for the heroics of the squad holding off 3-game points by KILLERS in set 3? Upset of the decade.
However, the champs showed no quit and its cool under the most intense pressure got them their most grueling playoff win in a while.



#3 SCHOOLERS survive #6 HOPSTERS upset bid
The HOPSTERS were game for a upset; however, SCHOOLERS shook off a tough battle and won a 3-set clash, which featured plenty of ups and downs for both teams.


#4 HOW I SET YA MAMA gets to 2nd straight Final Four, knocks off #5 SUAB
MAMA and SUAB faced off in the proverbial 4-5 matchup which has brought some epic games in the Volleyballiga; On this night MAMA won set 1, and SERVING UP A BUZZ showed the heart of a former champ in winning Set 2. But in Set 3 it was HOW I SET YA MAMA who went on a game clinching run midway through the set to move to its 2nd consecutive Final Four.




Thursday Final Four Schedule 









(1) PENNEY     vs  (4) HOW I SET YA MAMA  (6:10)
Can PENNEY continue its reign as "Top Dogs" in the LIGA? or will MAMA be up for the challenge? If any season does the 2-Time Champs look vulnerable? It has been this season.


(2) FAWLEY        vs   (3) SCHOOLERS   (6:45)
Can FAWLEY knock off the Red Hot SCHOOLERS squad? Both teams play with a energy that will make this game a exciting one to watch.



2018 FALL VOLLEYBALLIGA CHAMPIONSHIP  - 7:30 PM 



Vegas Odds 



#1 PENNEY  

PENNEY has been unstoppable for nearly 3 seasons, amassing a 77-set winning streak, winning back to back titles and living their best life in the process.
 However, this season saw them lose the streak and almost lose last week to a focused #9 seed CEREAL KILLERS team.
Can PENNEY avoid the pitfalls that happen to champions and win its 3rd straight title?
Vegas Odds: 3-2 



#2 FAWLEY 
FAWLEY has been dynamic all season, and has all the tools to win the LIGA Title; From the start of the season they have been at  or near the top of the LIGA standings. With a real chance to grab the title, can they withstand the rigors of the LIGA Final 4 and win it all?
Odds: 4-1 



#3 SCHOOLERS
SCHOOLERS have came a long way in a 3 season span; So much so, that they feel like this could be the season. They have been downright dominant for most of the season.
With improved players across the board, a style of play few can match, and the hunger to get it done? Could this be the season of triumph?
Odds: 4-1



#4 HOW I SET YA MAMA 
MAMA has been climbing the ladder as well over the last couple seasons, and without a doubt has earned a spot in the Final Four. With a squad steadily improving as well, is this the season MAMA has the breakout performance to remember?
Odds: 5-1

Team Overview /
Vegas Odds to Win 2018 Volleyballiga

PENNEY  (17- 1) 
PENNEY was the best team in the LIGA, for the 3rd season in a row. However, they lost their 77 game winning streak, and they will be severely tested in this tournament. They have been unstoppable this season for the most part, and have dynamic players all over the court.
Vegas Odds to Win it All: 3-2


FAWLEY   19-2
TEAM FAWLEY has shown all season they they will be a force to be reckoned with. With some fresh faces who are ready to seize the opportunity,  FAWLEY is unbeatable once the engine gets revved up.
Can they make it their year?
Vegas Odds: 3-1


SCHOOLERS  15-6 
The SCHOOLERS is a team that they can beat anyone but must stay in tune. A team that has came a long way, and plays with a engine most teams dont have.
Could this be the year?
Vegas Odds: 4-1



HOW I SET YA MAMA   11-7 
MAMA has shown they have the horses to compete with the best; but the late entry and the roller coaster of a season left MAMA at the 4 spot. Will they reach their 3rd consecutive LiGA Final Four?
Vegas Odds to Win it All: 5-1


SERVING UP A BUZZ   9-12 
Team SUAB once again showed its late muscle, moving up the ladder despite a tough early season to get to the infamous 4-5 game. A former Champ, can they get the consistency needed to get to the Final Four?
Vegas Odds: 7-1

HOPSTERS   8-13 
HOPSTERS are the team with the Tower of Power, the 7ft baller. However the Tower must dominate if the Hopsters are to advance. A team with a lot of upside, and when in winning mode, can be a dangerous team.
Vegas Odds to Win it All:  8-1

TQL  7-14 
TQL a team who has had success in the LIGA, reaching a Title Game, has started to play better of late, and could be a team ready to make a splash come playoff time. Have one of the best ladies in the LIGA in 2-way player Mallory Hall.
Vegas Odds:  8-1


SHANKAPOTOMOUS    6-15 
SHANKA has had a tough season, but still has the talent and skillset to get back to the LIGA Final Four. If Jared B can ked the troops into playoff mode, we could see a higher seed falling to this squad.
Vegas Odds: 10-1


CEREAL KILLERS  5-16 
TEAM KILLERS looking to suprise some teams come playoff time. As the KILLERS will look to Reach the Final four for the first time. CK has some talent no doubt. Can they go next level and get to the Final Four with the energetic bunch they have?
Vegas Odds: 12-1


VIVIAL.    4-17 
VIVIAL  competed hard this season, and even showed glimpses in a few series. However the inconsistencies in the lineup proved too much to overcome. Now that the LIGA final Four spot on the line, can VIVIAL do the damn thing and knock off the big dog to get there?
