With Ben Lisua’s heavy hits doing three aces, one skunk, two kees, and two goals for 18 points, the Islanders won in four sets “juice” 98 to 81 and brought home $50.
Evenflow won the first set 27 to 21 but were sluggish in the second set and were dumped to a hard 25 to 10 loss.
The Islanders made up for their six-point deficit of the first set in their 15-point second set win, then went into the third set with a nine point lead.
In the third set, both teams started good.
Evenflow scored twice with two-point plays and the Islanders came back scoring a three-point goal.
The Islanders pulled ahead when both teams were tied at eleven points, and then went on to win the third set, 25 to 19.
Evenflow was trailing by 15 points into set four and needed to win the set by 16 points to win the game.
If Evenflow could have won the fourth set by any score less than with a 16 point margin, they would have at least stopped the Islanders from juicing out and force the game into extra sets.
The Islanders only needed to win the set to win the game. But, the fourth set was a series of plays that that tasked the teams in back and fourth, give and take action.
Both teams were at 25 points with Evenflow serving for set. The Islanders broke their serve with a court point and went on to win the game with a two point back court score.
The Islanders won sets two, three, and four 25 to 10, 25 to 19, and 27 to 25.
