Dock Improves But Falls Short

The first time Dock boys’ volleyball played league rival Haverford, Dock was able to win one set but dropped the match 3-1. This time, in the loud Haverford gym, Dock was able to win 2 sets and almost pull off the upset in the 5th and final set. The entire match was high energy and loud. After Dock won set one, our fans made tons of noise. Then Haverford won set 2 and it was the home crowd that made the noise (with the help of their marching band). Haverford was able to outplay Dock in set 3 as well but set 4 was Dock’s turn to get loud and earn the win. Set 5 was loud every second and both teams seemed poised to win the set. Haverford got the last key plays to get the match win 15-12. Well done Dock.

Each set ended with an outstanding play by Dock, including the final play of the match, a monster block for match point. The crowd was in it from the start and their loud support was awesome as well. Great match Dock.

Dock Loses to Unionville

The Dock Boys’ Volleyball program has run into matches like this before but that history does not make this loss sit any better. Dock seemed like the better team for most of the match but yet managed to drop some key plays with unforced errors and Dock got surprising by some good plays from Unionville. When it was time to get on the bus, Dock had dropped all three sets and had a league match loss. We all expect to see these determined boys rebound and we will get a chance to see Unionville again at our house.
