Championship Game Summary
Victor's Secret defeated Boston Public 15-7, 15-13
Boston Public squared off against
Victor's Secret. The two teams split
during their regular season meetings, each
match going three games. After trading four
consecutive sideouts per team, Boston
Public's Lucienne Alliance-Valcimond
opened the scoring 2-0 with back-to-back
serves. Boston Public would add one more
point with a kill from Mike Nguyen before
Victor's Secret's Beverly Strassner served
for two to bring the score to 3-2.
A hard
strike from Victor's Secret's Stanley Mui
through the heart of the court tied the game
at 3. This was all that was needed to
motivate server Li Fan Wu, who served 10
straight points to 12-3 before finally
succumbing to Boston Public's attack from
Nguyen. Victor's Secret gave up a couple
points but was relentless in their attack on
the ball and quickly put away game one
15-7.
Boston Public stepped up to the
challenge and kept a tight game two all the
way to the end. Boston Public's Tru Lang
and Nguyen traded kills with Victor's
Secret's Chia-Yi hang and Mui resulting in
a tied game at 11. Three clutch digs from
Takesha Bartley allowed Victor's Secret to
take the lead 14-11.
Boston Public was not
ready to give up as Nguyen hit a Khanh
Tran set onto Victor's Secret ten foot line
to save game point. Alliance-Valcimond was
in the server's position to serve her team to
14-13 after Quoc Thai and Nguyen tallied
kills for Boston Public. A Nguyen hitting
error spelled disaster for Boston Public as
Mui served match point and Victor's
Secret's captured the first title in their
two-season history.
