Boys

It was an entertaining back-and-forth match between the TIS boys and the IVY boys from Taiwan.  The Tigers took command late into the first set to break a long deadlock and take the set 25-18.  In the 2nd set, IVY seemed to find a higher gear and rallies hard.  The boys fought hard but ultimately dropped the set 17-25.  The boys started the 3rd set strong but IVY just wouldn’t go away.  Riding a final wave of momentum, the Tigers pulled through to win the set and match 25-18, 17-25, and 15-12. 

Currently the boys are against YCIS, having won the first set 25-20.

Girls

The TIS girls came out of the gate slowly, allowing IVY to take early control of the game.  After a well-advised timeout call by coach Cheung, the TIS found their legs and surged ahead of IVY on some strong serving taking the first set 25-21.  The second set was all Tigers, with relentless offense and shutdown defense.  The Tigers finished strong, winning the match 25-21, 25-9. 

The girls have finished their game vs. YCIS.  The Tigers feasted on the young team from YCIS winning 25-7, 25-12. 

Today’s recap with pictures will be posted shortly.

Go Tigers!
