It was a Cinderella story come true Thursday night in the softcore volleyball championships. Sets on the Beach were the clear underdogs, recently at 5th place in the rankings and taking the 6th seed into the playoffs. Their bracket match-ups looked tough, but Sets on the Beach believed they could place higher. With a possible double header on the schedule Thursday night, Sets came to play.
First up was the semifinal match against Son of a Beach, an Indy team that meshed well from the beginning and was a force to wrecken with. They split the first two sets; The first going to Sets on the Beach 21-16, and the second, same score, in favor of Son of a Beach. They were tied a set a piece, going into the third and final set with a spot in the Championship game on the line. It was a close and exciting final set, but Sets on the Beach pulled away in the end. With great plays from the entire team, extreme hustle, and superb serves from Kristina and Jill, Sets on the Beach pulled off a 21-15 win and earned their spot in the Championship.
It's hard to believe it's softcore volleyball when you get to the finals. The intensity is at another level. Everyone is seasoned, adrenaline is pumping, and emotions are high. Sets on the Beach knew the finals wouldn't be easy, as they were up against the number one seed, Dinks All Around. Dinks had been having a phenomenal season to date. Not undefeated, but a clear leader of the league. Again, Sets split the first two sets with their opponent. This time taking the first set 21-18, then losing the second set 21-9. The second set was not a good sign. Were Sets on the Beach going to fall in the final set? Some became nervous, but not a single player from Sets on the Beach did. They knew they had it in them to come back. It was hard not to root for the underdog.
The third and final set was a nail biter. Both teams left it all on the court. Exquisite skills were displayed on both sides of the net. High energy and excellent plays from both teams brought this Championship set down to the wire. In the end, Sets on the Beach did it. They pulled off a 21-18 Championship victory over a number one team. Sets gives credit to Bob Macon for his killer serves, which he duly deserves, but they could not have pulled off this win without the dedication and effort of each and every player.
Congratulations, Sets on the Beach! Great season!
Sets on the Beach were the true underdogs coming in to the semifinals tonight. Recently in 5th place, they fought back and beat out Son of a Beach for a place in the softcore championship game. From there they really stepped up their game, especially Bob Macon. From the sidelines I heard, "Bring it, Bob!" And that is just what he did. Serve, after serve, after serve Bob helped lead Sets on the Beach to victory. It was a great match-up against Dinks All Around with three close sets. It wasn't until the final point that the true champions were named. Sets on the Beach fought to the end and came out on top in a 21-18 victory. Congratulations to Sets on the Beach on your Championship win. And congratulations to Bob Macon, our Player of the Week!
