(Jon Perez)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The North Shore Warriors survived How I Set Your Mother\u2019s gallant stand to rule the Pacific Islands Club Saipan 4-Person Coed Beach Volleyball Tournament held last Saturday on the sand courts of the San Antonio hotel.<\/p>\n<p>North Shore almost squandered its twice-to-beat advantage against HISYM as it lost the finals opener before making the necessary adjustments in Game 2 to squeeze out a 16-14 victory.  Mike Omar, Ryan Camacho, Denise Myers, and Alfredo Guevarra played for the champion team.<\/p>\n<p>HISYM completed a come-from-behind 22-20 win over North Shore in Game 1, even with Toni Yamada already cramping up. Game 1 was a battle of spurts and had several lead changes. North Shore went up 8-2, but HISYM scored seven straight points to steal the lead, 9-8.  North Shore again went ahead by three, 11-9, and from thereon, the match was a see-saw affair.<\/p>\n<p>The opener then reached a standoff, 20-20, before HISYM scored twice after winning back-to-back rallies to complete the Game 1 win and force a final showdown.<\/p>\n<p>It was the same story in the rubbermatch with HISYM going toe-to-toe against the No. 1 seed team. HISYM even went up, 14-12, but North Shore dug deep from its arsenal, scoring four straight points to foil its opponents\u2019 upset bid.<\/p>\n<p>North Shore went home with $500 cash plus cases of Pepsi and Magellan gift certificates, while HISYM also won cash and other in-kind prizes. Mister Fam, composed of the Misters (Logan, Tyce, Angie, and Dylan) and CPR Certified, which placed third and fourth, respectively, got gift certificates.<\/p>\n<p>North Shore defeated Mister Fam, 21-19, to get the first finals berth with the semis game also having several lead changes. HISYM eliminated CPR Certified, 15-13, to earn the right of facing Mister Fam in the loser\u2019s bracket semifinals. HISYM then took the second finals berth after a 15-11 decision over Mister Fam, while the latter settled for third place.<\/p>\n<p>Before the playoffs, North Shore went undefeated in pool play to earn the top seeding in the knockout phase of the one-day tournament. The eventual champion continued its amazing run in the one-and-done round to clinch the first finals berth and the twice-to-beat advantage that goes with it.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, limited edition shirts and beverages were provided by Pacific Trading Co. in the tournament that was also supported by PIC Saipan and Bridge Capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The North Shore Warriors survived How I Set Your Mother\u2019s gallant stand to rule the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":266264,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[19406,10381,19407,12382],"class_list":["post-266260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-hisym","tag-mike-omar","tag-mister-fam","tag-north-shore"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
