Sand Storm (Chris Petitto, Sam Keller, Becky Smith and Ryan Hall) had the best record through the season, then held its seed in the playoffs, capturing the Coed 4's Beach League title on Aug. 27.
They beat CJ's team (CJ Pinkney, Sarah Chisholm, and Anthony Makoujy), 21-16, 21-17 in the final. Ryan's fifth kill of the night, a hard spike that hit the top of the net and trickled over, provided the game-winning point.
That play stopped CJ's team's late-game rally that put the victory in doubt. After Chris (7 kills) had a spike to make the score 20-14, CJ's team had a 3-point run - a kill by CJ (7 kills) and 2 aces by Sarah. She had 5 aces in the match.
Sam had 4 kills, at least 7 digs (stat keeper does not claim to record all digs!) and an ace, while Becky had 3 kills, at least 5 digs, and 2 aces. Chris had at least 3 digs and an ace, while Ryan contributed at least 2 digs and an ace.
Anthony had 4 kills, at least 6 digs, and 2 aces for CJ's team, while CJ also had at least 3 digs and an ace. Sarah had 2 kills and at least 3 digs to go with her 5 aces.
Sand Storm beat JLTT (Terry Standfast, Tina Toribio, Phil Oney and Dana Regan) in the semifinals, while CJ's team beat Stu's team (Stu Nemiroff, Ange Noonan, Kelly Curran and Bill Burns) in the other. The match between CJ's team and Stu's team went three games.
