Get It Up

First Place

Volleyball - Sundays (Spring '15)

Our Spring 2015 Sunday Volleyball season wrapped up yesterday with a great day of playoff action at Turn Verein. The #1 seed Purple Dragons came in with an undefeated record in the regular season. Their upbeat, fundamentally solid, scrappy team took on the #4 seed Back in Black in the opening semi-final. Back in Black gave them a run for their money in the first game. Purple Dragons ultimately shut out Back in Black in the first two games to move on to the finals to face the winner of the #2 seed, Get it up (Teal) and the #3 seed Fockin' call Saul (White).

Fockin' call Saul came out strong in the first game making it look like an easy win may be in the cards, but Get it Up gathered together, regrouped and took the next game without a sweat! We had a tie game! 1 more win for either team and they would be in the finals, fighting for the $50 Blue Cue bar tab, and the title of Champions!! Get it up won the toss to start the 3rd game. The whistle blew and the intense back and forth game began. Rally after rally, both teams fought to seal their fate in the finals. It was an up for grabs game, but it was Get it Up who came out on top defeating Fockin' call Saul, even with their heavy hitters and solid defense.

The finals came down to the #1 undefeated, Purple dragons taking on the #2 seed Get it up. What a showdown this was going to be. Purple Dragons were confident having had not lost a match during the season, but Get it up was out for revenge! Get it up came out strong taking the first game by a hefty lead, leaving the Dragons slightly nervous. In the second game Dragons got their momentum back taking the 2nd game by 7 points over Get it up. Captains met, shook hands, and rock, paper, scissors for the last time. Get it up wins the toss and chose sides trying to get any advantage they can. Purple served the ball to start the final game of the final match, and took a quick lead over Get it up. Get it up with their athletic hitters, and solid setters came from behind took the lead and they never looked back. Get it up took the championship with class and got their revenge on the undefeated Purple Dragons handing them their first lost of the season. Get it up will be a force to be reckoned with next season, but until then they will be enjoying a $50 bar tab at Blue Cue and bragging rights until next season! Purple Dragons will be back though to duke it out again, that's a guarantee! What a great finish to a great season!!
