Summer 15 Tuesday Coed Grass Volleyball @ Curtis Park (2 Divisions)

Two new teams graced us with their presence. The GREEN BAY PACKERS took on the TURF TEARERS for their first match of the season. They were pretty rusty as they lost 3 out of 4 of the games. The TURF TEARERS did remarkably well for being a completely different team than last week. The players that showed up last week did not show up this week, except for the player of the game-Sarah.

SUNS OUT GUNS OUT also opened their season up. They took on the T-BOLTS. The T-BOLTS only had four players but that didn’t stop them. They won the first two 15-11 and 15-13. The SOGO won their first game 17-15 to make it 2-1. But the T-BOLTS won the deciding fourth game 17-15; they improved to (1-1) on the season.

The SNT’s tried their luck against the GRASS ALL-STARS. The SNT’S just come out of the spring Wednesday league taking second place. The GRASS ALL-STARS were up for the challenge. They lost the first game 15-7, but stormed back to win the next three to take the match. They now are (2-0) on the season, and the SNT’S are (1-1).

For the last game of the night, the GREEN BAY PACKERS took on the SUNS OUT GUNS OUT. Both teams lost their openers, so the match was wide open. SOGO won the first three games and were looking for the sweep. But the GBP stepped up and won the fourth game 16-14. With the loss, GBP have taken the cellar position in the standings at (0-2). SOGO has improved to (1-1), tied with 4 other teams.

It was a pretty good day for volleyball, well for the first hour anyway. In the first match of the evening, the SNTS won the first two games against SUNS OUT GUNS OUT. But SOGO came back in the next two games to even up the series at 2-2. This was a pretty evenly matched match. The teams are ranked second and third.

On the other court, the LEFTOVERS took down the GREEN BAY PACKERS 3-1. The PACKERS managed to win the first game, but lost the next three. The LEFTOVERS look to be a team that will fit right in the mix.

SOGO had another double header. They played the GRASS ALL-STARS. SOGO played a really good first game and won 15-6. But it might have been a warm up game for the ALL-STARS because they won the next three by a good margin. With the win, the ALL-STARS remain undefeated at (3-0). SOGO moves to (2-2-2).

In the last game, the T-BOLTS played some pretty good ball defeating the TURF TERRORS 3-1. In the deciding 5th game, the TT tried to tie the series up, but couldn’t quite pull it off, losing 14-16.

The GRASS ALL-STARS got their toughest matchup of the season yesterday. They took on the LEFTOVERS. The LEFTOVERS dominated game one with a 15-6 win. GAS returned with a 15-13 win in game two. GAS then dominated game three, winning 15-6. The LEFTOVERS were able to tie the match up with a 15-9 win in game four. This was the first tie for GAS and the closest they came to losing, they are now (5-0-1). The LEFTOVERS were then (1-1-2).

SUNS OUT GUNS OUT returned after their bye week last week. They took on the GREEN BAY PACKERS. The PACKERS are stilling looking for their first win. This match was back and forth, SOGO won games one and three and the PACKERS won games two and four. The match ended in a tie 2-2. SOGO is now (2-3-2) and the PACKERS are (0-4-2).

The TURF TEARERS took on the SNTS. This match would end just like the other ones, in a 2-2 tie. The SNTS won the first two games-both were close. It looked like they would win the match, but the TURF TEARERS pulled it together and won games three and four to force the tie. It was almost as close as you could get it; the cumulative score for both teams was 55-56. Even with the tie, the SNTS are still in second place. TT is in sixth place.

The LEFTOVERS changed fields to take on the T-BOLTS for their second game of the night. The LEFTOVERS didn’t have much trouble, sweeping the BOLTS in four games. The LEFTOVERS improved to (2-1-2). The T-BOLTS dropped to (2-3-1).

It was the first round of the playoffs! Fortunately, for the higher seeds, they were not upset. In the 4/5 matchup, it was SUNS OUT GUNS OUT defeating the fifth ranked T-BOLTS 3-1. The win advanced SOGO to the semifinal against number one seeded GRASS ALL-STARS.

Number two ranked LEFTOVERS defeated seventh ranked TURF TEARERS 3-1. The TEARERS won the second game, so it looked like it could get interesting, but then lost the next two to lose the match.

Number three ranked SNTS swept the sixth ranked GREEN BAY PACKERS. The PACKERS had their chance in the first game, losing 15-17. But after that it was all SNTs. The SNTS and the LEFTOVERS will play in the second semifinal next week!
