Late Fall Midcore Co-ed Indoor Volleyball at Harriet Tubman Thursday

Supergirl Hannah Eggert must have eaten a big bowl of Wheaties for breakfast (or maybe dinner) this week because she came to Tubman on Thursday night with kryptonite in her veins. Faster than a bullet and more powerful than a speeding train were Hannah's serves. At one point in the match, Hannah racked up 8 or 9 consecutive points, leaving her opponents stunned and mystified as to how to stop the barrage. It would have been fun to have a radar gun to clock the velocity and speed of her serves, but I digress...Hannah was also using her firepower with a fantastic kill shot to add to an outstanding performance. Congrats Hannah!

Patrick Yan is the man! From the opening serve in game one vs. Sets on the Beach, you knew Patrick had one thing in mind - a three game sweep. He was dominate in every aspect of the match, serving up ace bombs, soaring for smokin' kills, and tips as soft as a baby's bum landing exactly where he pleased. Just when Sets on the Beach had other plans in Game 3 to gain ground and got a few points ahead, Patrick put a lid on that notion with blocks at the net to pick up points, get back on offense, and lead his teammates down the home stretch to victory. Job well done Patrick!

A big tip 'o the USL hat to Unprotected Sets' Katherine Chou, who is our POTW for this Thursday night at Tubman! Unprotected Sets competed in an opening round tournament match vs. Sets on the Beach and Katherine played a huge role in her team's victory. She had an incredible court sense all night long - from keen service return in the back row, to clean and accurate setting from the front and mid. Her service never wavered and she gained countless points for her squad as they played some intense sets to ultimate victory in the quarterfinals.
Unprotected Sets then advanced to a semifinal match vs. Big Pink and Katherine saved plenty of energy to lead her team in powerful defense of a team (Big Pink) who had their sights set on a win. While Unprotected Sets lost the first set of the match, they fought back with the help of Katherine to cruise in the second. Ultimately, they couldn't overcome a big push by Big Pink in the third set who clinched the match and will advance. Katherine can be satisfied and proud, however, of the monumental effort both she and Unprotected Sets gave in these games and throughout the fall season at Tubman. Congrats!
