Volleyball - Thursdays: Intermediate at TV (Fall '25)

What a season it’s been for our Intermediate Volleyball division at Turn Verein! From early season showdowns to late night thrillers, every week delivered intense rallies, clutch saves, and nonstop competition and the playoffs were no exception.

Goose Bumps proved all season long that they were a force to be reckoned with. They picked up huge wins during the regular season, including a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Smokin’ Aces and dominant sweeps against teams like Volley-Tile and Bangers and Smash. Time and time again, they showed they could handle pressure, adapt mid match, and close out tight situations.

Meanwhile, Smokin’ Aces were on a mission. They stacked statement wins throughout the season, including strong performances against Tim, Ballistics, and Bangers and Smash. Their consistency and ability to control the pace of play made them one of the most dangerous teams heading into playoffs and they proved it.

The postseason opened with Tim sweeping Ballistics 2–0 in the Quarterfinals, setting the tone for a competitive night.

In the Semifinals, Goose Bumps faced off against Tim in a battle that tested both teams’ endurance and teamwork. After dropping a set, Goose Bumps rallied and took the match 2–1, proving once again they could dig deep when it mattered most. On the other side of the bracket, Smokin’ Aces edged past Block Party 2–1 in a match that could’ve gone either way and every point felt earned.

Then came the Finals and it delivered everything fans could’ve hoped for: Goose Bumps vs. Smokin’ Aces.

Two teams that had already faced each other in the regular season. Two teams that knew each other’s tendencies. Two teams that refused to back down.

Goose Bumps took the first set 21–15 with strong defense, clean communication, and smart shot placement. But Smokin’ Aces weren’t done. The second set turned into a nail biter, filled with long rallies, clutch saves, and momentum swings on both sides. With the score tied late, Goose Bumps stayed calm, closed out key points, and sealed the championship with a 22–20 win.
