Blue Steel

First Place

Volleyball - Tuesday's (Late Fall '15) - Presented by Miller Lite

It wasn't an easy road to the top for "Blue Steel" as they entered our Tuesday Volleyball League playoffs as the fourth out of five seeds. But, in true underdog fashion, they were able to pick up three wins en route to their championship win!

Their run started off against fifth place "I'd Hit That" who won the serve. The game started out strong for both teams, but by mid-game "Blue Steel" made a run for it and won the first game. The second game was much closer, but "Blue Steel" got hot on a serving streak with the score tied 18-18 and ended up winning the game and the match.

In their second match of the night "Blue Steel" took on the #1 seed "Empire Spikes Back". Perhaps it was because all of their players showed up and their rotations were off that they couldn't match our eventual champions. "Blue Steel" won the serve for the first game and took off, racking up their points. Eventually they'd take the second game as well, thus reserving their spot in the finals.

While taking a breather "Blue Steel" awaited the winner of "2 Bump Chumps" and "Sets on the Beach". Both the first and second games were very close but in the end "Sets on the Beach" won both games! This was the best they had collectively played all season. Perhaps the return of Thomas, who had been out with a hurt leg and returned just in time for playoffs, gave his team a bit of a morale boost.

Our final game of the night came down to #2 "Sets on the Beach" vs #4 "Blue Steel". Neither team gave up easily on points as the rallies were long and both sides had some strong play. Fortunately for "Blue Steel" their opponents couldn't quite catch up in either the first or the second game, always trailing. At the end of it all "Blue Steel" was crowned the champions!

Once again, congrats to "Blue Steel" on winning the Tuesday Volleyball League championship! What a fantastic championship run by them!
