Aim Low defeated Just-Do-It in Games 1 and 2 of the best-of-three semis series to advance to the championship round against the winner of the Teachers-Roc It semis pairing.<\/p>\n
Game 1 was played last Monday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium with Aim Low juicing out Just-Do-It, 36-30. Just-Do-It dropped the series opener despite winning the first set, 10-12. Aim Low grabbed the lead, 23-22, after a 13-10 victory in the second set and went on to complete the win after prevailing anew in the third set, 13-8.<\/p>\n
In Game 2 yesterday, Aim Low never gave Just-Do-It a chance to force a deciding Game 3, as the former won all three sets of the match. Aim Low took an eight-point winning margin in the first set, 13-5, and then padded its lead to 17 after the second set, following another victory, 12-3. In the third set, Just-Do-It tried to push the game in overtime, but fell short, as Aim Low won by two, 14-12, for another juiced-out triumph, 39-20.<\/p>\n
Aim Low will play in Game 1 of the best-of-five title series on Monday.<\/p>\n
The Teachers hope to join Aim Low in the finals when they go for a sweep against Roc It today. The Teachers topped Game 1 of the other semis series last Tuesday, 29-16. Roc It drew first blood in Game 1 with a 13-5 win in the opening set, but the Teachers recovered big time in the last two sets, 12-3, 12-0, to steal the series opener.
