The TIS boys won a nail-biter final preliminary round game against HKA.  TIS took the first set but HKA battled and rallied in the second set and took the Tigers to a 3rd set.  TIS took back the momentum in the 3rd set to close out the match.

This set up a 1st vs. 2nd place playoff game against XIS.  The boys poured everything into that match, taking a big lead to starting the first set.  XIS clawed their way back and squeaked out a set win.  The Tigers must have been drained because the second set didn’t see them give as much of a fight losing the match in straight sets. 

The boys now await the winner of the 3rd vs. 4th playoff game, with a last chance opportunity to make it into the finals for one final match against XIS.

The TIS girls squared off against arch-rivals, XIS again.  The girls were in full control of the first set, on the strength of strong serving and a pounding attack.  XIS demonstrated why they are the defending champs in the 2nd set though, building a sizable lead at the start of the set.  TIS then came back to prove why they were the first seeded team led by a 10point serving streak from Mika Ao.  In a bitter fight, XIS fought off 2 TIS match points, and picked up 2 of their own set points.  The TIS girls would not back down though, and saved 2 set points before finally finishing out XIS by a score of 25-20, 28-26.

The girls move to the finals via the automatic berth and are currently awaiting their opponent.  The finals are schedule to start at 5pm.

Stay tune and GOOOOO TIGERS!!!!
