It was repeat city last night at the Intramural Building when Your Mom won the IM coed volleyball championship for the second year in a row.
Your Mom defeated The Alpha Dogs in two straight sets, 20-16 and 11-20.
Coming into the match boasting a 15-0 record in the regular season, along with all members of the team having either been a part of the men's or the women's intramural volleyball championship team in the fall, Your Mom once again affirmed its IM dominance.
Your Mom was able to jump out to an early lead on The Alpha Dogs in both matches, 8-2 in the first and 4-0 in the second. Although The Alpha Dogs were able to match with Your Mom nearly point-for-point during the rest of the first match, the early lead proved to be too much.
The perils of the early lead were trouble once again for The Alpha Dogs in the second match when they fell behind 4-0. Things continued to not go their way when Your Mom's Mike Creighton scored two straight points on spikes to make the score 7-2. Later, after calling a timeout with the score 18-8, The Alpha Dogs managed to put together a mini rally, scoring four straight points of their own, but Your Mom's lead was too great and they took the second match, 20-11.
"Our strategy was to put the ball in and play smart," Your Mom's captain Kate McCullough said. "We've played them before and they are a great team that [is] very good at tipping the ball."
Your Mom and The Alpha Dog's should be familiar with each other's style of play since many of the players, who are members of both teams, played together this fall when they won the men's IM volleyball championship.
"Their my friends. They played well tonight and I'll definitely play with them again next year," Phil Klevze of The Alpha Dogs said.
Led by McCullough, Your Mom was made up of Creighten, Jamie Carson, Abby Roth, Rob Fromuth, Sam Lloyd, Brett Bowen and Colleen O'Reilly.
Although McCullogh said that two of Your Mom's members are graduating, the team hopes to come back next year for the coveted three-peat.
"I won't be here but I hope they carry on the legacy," she said.
