Fifteen teams will be competing for the title in the 9th Annual Pacific Islands Club-Miller Lite Spring Co-ed 4-Person Beach Volleyball League, which opened its 2008 season on Tuesday at the PIC beach side.<\/p>\n
Action began on Tuesday night with 670 Boom Boom, Gigi, Snap Crackle Pop, and MHS Peers besting their opponents to open their respective title bids on a winning note.<\/p>\n
All four games needed the third set to decide the winner of each match.<\/p>\n
670 Boom Boom overcame a first set loss to beat GCA, 6-11, 11-8, 11-1, while Gigi needed endgame poise to secure a 3-11, 11-3, 14-12 win over the Herbalizers.<\/p>\n
Snap Crackle Pop overcame Tsunami\u2019s gallant stand to escape with an 11-3, 5-11, 11-2 triumph while MHS Peers pulled off a 2-11, 11-7, 11-6 decision against 15 of Fame.<\/p>\n
The other competing teams are Angan, Fatingali, Kiss My Pass, MHS Okies, MHS Young Gunz, Spike\u2019A\u2019Sauras, and Spiked Punch.<\/p>\n
Four games will be played every Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in order to finish the season by June. The first game will start at 5:30pm with the final match at 8:30pm.<\/p>\n
Fatingali, MHS Young Gunz, Spiked Punch, and Gigi were playing MHS Okies, Spike\u2019A\u2019Sauras, Angan, and Kiss My Pass at press time. Results were not yet available as of this writing.<\/p>\n
The opening banquet was held last Thursday where the four-man roster for each team was drawn.<\/p>\n
Last year, top seed Limarh completed its amazing one-loss season when they scored a 15-7 win over the Sand Smackers to win the title. They finished with a 10-1 card tallying 346 points while limiting their opponents to 225 and winning 27 sets in the three-month long tournament.<\/p>\n
