Pikan Gaga continued their run at a perfect season last Thursday when they swept Bootylicious in straight sets, 25-14 and 25-13, in the Island Wide Volleyball League for men and women at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.<\/p>\n
At 6-0, Pikan Gaga has been cruising through all of their competition, and their match with Bootylicious was no different. Led by Connie Camacho, they sit atop the seven-team league with the only unmarred record, but they have a pair of teams in their rear-view mirror.<\/p>\n
The Gaga girls return to action tomorrow night when they take on the winless T-8 (0-3). Bootylicious will look for redemption when they face the Hitters after the Christmas break on Tuesday, Dec. 28 at 6:30.<\/p>\n
One of the teams that is hot on the trail of Pikan Gaga is the Dragons (4-1), who knocked off T-8 in two sets, 25-17 and 25-15. Aleta Glaze and the Dragons have been dominating in their own right, but they are still a game off the pace.<\/p>\n
Glaze has been racking up more aces than a Vegas poker hound, and more kills than a backwoods trapper en route to second place, and she looks to lead her young team to their next victory on Tuesday, Dec. 28 when they challenge the She Devils (3-1) at 7:30p.<\/p>\n
On the men\u2019s side of the courts, No Fear (3-1) scalped the Managaha Chiefs (3-1) to give them their first loss of the season. Gabriel White and company took the first set from the then undefeated Chiefs 25-22 in some of the most exciting action to date.<\/p>\n
Led by Andrew Ortega, the Chiefs rallied back to take the second set 25-21, and force a third set race to 15 points. As close as the first two sets were, the third set was looking to be a thriller, but it shaped up to be a one-sided 15-4 victory for No Fear.<\/p>\n
No Fear is now tied for second place with the Chiefs, and both squads return to action on Tuesday, Dec. 28, when the Chiefs face the Proa (2-2) at 6:30p and No Fear challenges the Floaters (0-4) at 7:30pm.<\/p>\n
The same Proa team faced the Chuukanos (1-3) in the late game and handed them their third loss of the season. J-Luck Takoichy and the Chuukanos lead off the game with a 25-21 advantage in the first set before Gino Libuw recorded five kills to even the set count at one apiece. <\/p>\n
Libuw returned to lead his team in the third set with four kills in the 15-12 clincher.<\/p>\n
The Chuukanos will have to wait until next year to get their revenge, as they don\u2019t return to the Ada Gym until Tuesday, Jan. 4 at 6:30p when they face the Ol\u2019 Aces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
