After playing an extremely strong season, Notorious B.U.R.T. (they'll need to tell you what that stands for) continued their assault on fellow teams in the Late Fall Wednesday Softcore League at Tubman. With only four players last week, NB blew through the bracket to the Championship game. Steven Novak, our POTW, rejoined the team after an illness and NB were in top form. With Triffid's bullet service, Amanda's crazy diving, Pierre and Mark's towering work at net and blocks and Steven being in the right place at the right time, NB breezed to victory in two sets over Straight Shots. Straight Shots came back to win a close one in the third set, but the damage had already been done and to the victors were the USL champ wristbands and Ex Novo gift cert.
The semifinal matchup between Straight Shots and Balls and Dolls was one of incredible skill and on-the-edge-of-your-seat action with some lengthy volleys. Straight Shots beat back the strong effort of Balls and Dolls to secure their spot in the Championship game.
After sitting out last week with the flu (on his birthday no less), Steven Novak came back just in the nick of time to join his teammates on Notorious B.U.R.T. (NB) in the championship game of the Wednesday Softcore League at Tubman. Steven may be another year older, but we gotta say that age and a bout of the flu didn't impact his performance. Along with NB teammates Triffid, Mark, Amanda and Pierre, Steven took charge of the battle from start to finish vs. Straight Shots. His spiking was unmatched, particularly in the first game and his floor coverage with amazing dives really stood out. Steven has been a faithful USL player over the past couple of years and no matter where he plays or on which team, his game remains powerful and consistent! Congrats to Steven and NB for their Wednesday Softcore Championship!
Knowing that her team Notorious BURT were in 1st place and the highest seed in the Wednesday Softcore League at Tubman, Triffid Abel absolutely did not feel the pressure, and turned in a stellar performance in securing the team's spot in next week's championships. With only 4 players, Triffid led the attack on Blundercats with meticulous service and over-the-top dives. Notorious BURT played in perfect sync throughout the match given their short numbers while calling out each assist, volley and kill. Triffid's service gained speed and power throughout the match with aces coming at opportune times. So powerful these four players, that they took the match in only two games. So looking forward to a fierce championship game in the finals next week with Notorious BURT defending their #1 seed vs.....well, we'll wait and see!
There definitely was a difference in Mark Abel's performance and ability on Wednesday night at Tubman in the Softcore division. We've been watching Mark play over the course of time and each night he shows that his study of the game of volleyball has proved advantageous for him and his team. Notorious B.U.R.T. vs. Straight Shots was a match for the season! With Mark's strong play at net, he kept NB's defensive strategy at the forefront as he racked up block after block. He wowed us with uncanny kills to the sweet spots and his service has improved to the point where the power and speed make it so difficult to defend. The competition between these two teams is fun to watch with close scores in the first and second sets, 26-24. NB let up a bit in the third, dropping the set to SS 25-11, but Mark's pace continued throughout. Save for a minor injury to his foot in the parking lot (how the heck did that nail get in your foot????), Mark remains sure-footed on the VB court!
We've seen various volleyball attributes from USL players over time, but Wednesday night at Tubman Softcore Division brought back an old tactic that worked exceedingly well for Steven Novak and Notorious B.U.R.T (NB). With Steven at net for much of the game, he set his fingers in motion with the lightest of touch to continue tip after tip much to the frustration of Balls and Dolls, because no matter where they were positioned, Steven managed to place the ball just out of reach. NB dropped the first set to B&D, but Steven warmed up his digits and went to work on securing a tough win 27-25 in the second set and ultimately taking the match in the third. Steven brings an arsenal of skills each week, so you never know which trick he'll bring out of the bag!
