Summer Co-ed Beach Volleyball at Golden Gardens Mondays

The gorgeous weather continued this Monday for the first week of the Summer Co-ed Beach Volleyball league at Golden Gardens on Mondays, where the player of the week this week is Andrew Chang of Nice Try. Andrew's consistent serves helped Nice Try win all three games against SID3OUT and start out the season strong even though they were playing down one player. Good job Andrew!

It was another solid outing for Nice Try. Fran Rosello led the way with a terrifying jump serve that had the Golddiggers on their heels all night. The winners cruised to a 3-0 victory as Fran's serves continued to rain down and became more mythical as the points piled up.

Brad Stevenson woke up the day of his big match against the dreaded golddiggers just an ordinary man, but went to bed that night a legend. During the match Brad brought his game face. The rest of the Mad Ups were no exception. They played their hearts out diving, setting, hitting, and blocking. By the end of 3 matches, Mad Ups swept the tourny. An even bigger number than 3 is 47. 47 blocks were made by the "Net-O-Matic." That's right, Brad "Net-O-Matic" Stevenson earned his names in the book of legends with a whopping 47 blocks that day. I can't wait to see what the Net-O-Matic will get next week.

If you wonder where California got the name for it's capital, you should have shown up for the intense match between Nice Try and Mad Ups to watch Rachel. Although they only had a chance to play 2 games, the third would not have mattered. Rachel dominated the base line with a total of 12 aces and who even knows how many kills. In just serves, she earned her team more than 25% of their points. I am sure next week there will be a guest appearance by Gov. Schwarzenegger to complete the capital name, Rachel Sacramento.
