The Sportland Gals Bring a Plus One and Rule the Championship

The women of Sportland were on a volley high after last week's upset of #1 seed Straight Shots in the Wednesday Softcore playoffs at Tubman. And to make matters even better, their sole (soul?) guy on the squad, Mark Mendak, was able to rejoin them for the finals and add a cool presence at net. It's really tough to single out any one player on Sportland, because this team plays like some sort of a precision dance squad. (There is some dancing going on during their games, however.) They always have each other's backs no matter which position they're playing, and their support for each other is never in question. Bringing their wins from last week's semifinals into the finals, Sportland engaged in a fierce battle with the Volley Lamas, who were ready to fight to the finish. Such great games to witness with long volleys, spectacular defense and killer offense! Sportland managed to parlay their togetherness into two victories of 25-17 and 25-23 (this one with a lot of GRIT) and ultimately the coveted USL Champs headbands and Ex Novo gift card. Some heavy celebrating was in store! Congrats to Sportland and also to the Volley Lamas who never let up and performed to a sold out crowd of one (me)!
