The New Providence Volleyball Association (NPVA) continued its season with a couple more exciting matches over at the D.W. Davis Gymnasium on Sunday.
In women’s play, in a matchup between the top two teams in the league, the two-time defending champions Panthers took down the Spikers in four sets, 25-15, 25-17, 24-26 and 25-20, giving the Spikers their first loss of the season.
“I feel like we did well,” said outside hitter Raechel Knowles. “There are still some things that we need to work on. We got too comfortable in the third set and made too many errors but we were able to bounce back in the fourth and get the win. Right now, it’s more mental for us than anything else. I believe that we have the talent, the discipline and the drive to be successful and win again. It’s not a guarantee but it’s definitely a possibility. We just have to continue playing with the goal of winning a championship in mind.”
The Panthers remained undefeated with a 3-0 win/loss record on the season while the Spikers dropped to 2-1.
The other teams in women’s play this season are the Lady Warhawks, the Lady Techs, the University of the Bahamas (UB) Mingoes and the Set-sy Poppers.
In men’s play on Sunday, the Technicians took down the Intruders in four sets, 17-25, 25-22, 25-23 and 25-16, improving to 3-1 on the season.
The other two teams in the men’s division are the Defenders and the Warhawks.
There were a couple matches on Friday as well.
In women’s play, the Spikers outlasted the Set-sy Poppers in five sets, coming from two sets down to record the victory. They prevailed 20-25, 19-25, 25-15, 25-11 and 15-8.
In men’s play on Friday, the Defenders took down the Intruders in straight sets, 25-22, 25-21 and 25-21.
