The 14-1 team had already been playing for the last 3 days in the 14 National Division by the time I had arrived. They were 3-0 day 1, 3-0 day 2, 1-1 in pool play on day 3 and then had the all important Challenge Match that evening. Since they had lost one match in their pool play earlier in the day they were now matched up against the #1 seed in the tournament, Woodlands Wave. The match went 3 sets and the 14-1's won 15-13 in set 3 to advance to the Gold Championship Bracket. They will play in the Gold Bracket on Sunday starting at 8am.
The 15-1's started their tournament today in the 15 Open Division. They are in a pool of 8 teams and only played 3 of the possible 7 matches today. They started off very slowly and poorly losing in 3 sets to Austin Jrs. They had match point several times but were unable to convert it. Their 2nd match of the day was better, or at least the outcome was. They lost the first set 14-25 against Sky High. In set two they came back and won 25-19 after being down. They like playing 3 set matches and giving their coaches heart attacks, so they played set 3 and won 15-13. In their 3rd match of the day they played MAVS from Kansas City. They defeated them relatively easily in 2 straight sets. The 15-1's ended the day 2-1. They will play 3 more matches on Sunday in the afternoon.
