VVK Victorious!

Just had to add a quick notice that VVK is a 2-match win streak. Last week we upset #1 Falkenberg in a 4-set thriller. It was a great match that showed we are a very capable team.

Tonight, however, was even bigger as VVK won its first playoff match in over 2 years. We faced-off against Tierp who we lost to just 2 weeks ago. The match was a 5-set nailbiter that had both teams up and down on that old metaphorical rollercoaster. In the end, VVK triumphed on stellar play by our 3 swedish outsides. Dave played very well as well. I struggled a bit, but in the end the TEAM is what matters. It's more fun to win than to lose and everyone is very happy.

We play the next playoff game in Tierp on Thursday. It's a best of 5 series that lasts 2 weeks. VVK 1 - Tierp 0. Here we go!!


On a side note, Kris Kraushaar's team (my buddy from UCLA) is the 7th seed in the tournament and upset #2 Hylte tonight in 4. KK blasted 19 points. #6 Sollentuna also upset #3 Team Valla in 3. It's going to be an interesting playoff series!!

We were watching the internet as the points went up! GOOOOOD job. Now we KNOW we will at least get to see you play one game. ;) (selfish motivation, of course!)
And we saw that Kris' team won too and that Kris "Krush"ed it. Yes, yes, it's going to be fun. I'm sure you're PUMPED so I won't tell you to. Stay healthy! (What kind of clothes do we need for the trip?!)
