Filling the gap

With their setter off gallivanting in Honduras, Goose’s Avengers, found themselves in a bit of a scramble to fill his shoes. Meanwhile, on the other side of the court, Swinging Elephants, were working as a well-oiled machine after working out some kinks in the Fall season. The two teams met face to face for the second time of the season after a 2-1 match in week three that favored Goose’s Avengers. After a kick ass semi-finals match, Swinging Elephants, were ready for some more competition.

Game one came started out with some simple rallies and soon the harder hits were brought to the table. With Ashley stepping is as setter most of the time, Goose’s Avengers, were finding a system that worked to fill that 6th man gap that lingered on the court. She was putting up some great assists for her teammates that ended in many point scoring kills. Mike, on the Swinging Elephants, side used his 6+ ft height to create a tall force on his side of the net. He snagged many blocks and put down kills of his own. Goose’s Avengers, had a more dominating presence however and took game one.

Swinging Elephants had a pep talk going into game two and came out ready to put up a fight. They did a great job getting their hands on the ball, but unfortunately couldn’t always bring it back into play. Goose’s Avengers had really found their rhythm now and hardly noticed they were short a player. Their bump, set, spike combinations were on par and their hustle never slowed down. With some all-around great teamwork Goose’s Avengers pulled out the win and claimed the champion title.
