Set two saw a nip and tuck battle with four ties in the first eight points. With the score tied at four, Ike Loa hit its stride via a 19-7 run, including three service aces from Outside Hitter Sage McDaniels!
808AC did not give in and tried to rally. A kill from Middle Blocker Payton Lauden ignited a 5-1 surge until a net violation stopped their push and left the gap at seven, 24-17.

After sparing 808AC one more point, Ike Loa put the clamps on set two with a regular point for the 25-18 win!
In set three, 808AC scored the first three points, but Ike Loa responded with five of the next six to take a 5-4 lead!
808AC responded with a 5-1 surge themselves that put them up, 9-6!
Ike Loa did not back down and made it a game again. They traded points with 808AC until they tied at 14 off a Prem kill! Both teams did not see a lead of more than three until the closing stages.
“We let them slide back in the third set, but in the second set, I felt like, ‘We can do this!’” said Ike Loa Setter Elsie Frasier.

Both teams were tied at 23 off a long serve from 808AC, but it was 808AC that got the final say when Ike Loa served the ball too long! 808AC took set three, 25-23, and prevented a clean sweep.
Both teams were nip and tuck in the beginning of set four! 808AC uncorked an early 6-2 surge, but Ike Loa did not back down and take it to a fifth set! Neither team could attain more than a three-point lead, just like in set three.
They traded points left and right until overtime was needed to settle things; however, Ike Loa got the last say with two straight points with the score tied at 24! Ike Loa emerged victorious, 26-24!
“They beat us in TransPAC [TransPacific] in the finals, so we just really wanted to seek redemption, and I think that motivated us to play good today!” said Frasier.
Frasier also said she plans to celebrate with a pizza party with her team!
