Reverse coed playoff results

The first game went into overtime and turned out to be the one that decided the Gold Division Championship.

$40 Bill and Poops McGee battled back and forth in Game 1, with $40 winning 29-27 as Kate Perkowski made a dig, Cecilie Pikus set Brad Kniewel a 10-ball, and Brad put it away for a kill for the deciding point. Poops won the second game, 25-15, before $40 won the championship with a 25-18 victory.

Brad led $40 with 23 kills and at least 4 digs (Stat keeper doesn't claim to get all digs!) and finished off the match with an ace for the final point in Game 3. Dan Lattanzi had 10 kills, 5 digs and an ace, while Kate chipped in 6 kills, 4 digs and a block. Cecilie also had a block and did all the setting.

Poops McGee actually had a 24-22 lead in the first game, but Brad had a kill and then CJ Pinkney had an error to tie the game at 24. Poops wasn't able to convert on two more game-point chances (kills by Dan and Brad) before $40 got its first game-point chance. But Dan's service error cut that one short.

Kate had the dig and Brad had the kill on $40's second game-point try.

CJ had 14 kills and 11 digs, while Taylor Dressing contributed 9 kills, 5 digs and an ace and Angelika Kopacz had 8 kills and 4 digs. Setter Kyle Pinkney had 5 digs.

A highlight of the match came in the third game when down-ref Andy Balint (Jonathan Brooks was the up-ref) woke up to make his first (and only) call of the match - a net violation against $40 that made the score 3-1.

Poops McGee also had a 3-game marathon in the semifinals, beating Touch It (Carrine and Sean Mackey and Marcus Haynes, they played without Heidi Brady who was away), 25-20, 23-25, 25-22. $40 beat Pip Squeeks (Eric Chen, Katie Schwartz, and Ruth Wong, Tom Narath was hurt), 25-17, 25-21 in the semis.
