Spring Softcore Volleyball at Harriet Tubman Wednesdays

Tasha Takes Tubman

The Volley Lama

Rarin' to go for the semifinals at Tubman Softcore on Wednesday night, Tasha Huntley was a woman possessed by the will to win. Every dig, assist, and serve, she took her best shot and was extremely successful on all fronts. Her relentless defense in the semifinals vs. Sloppy Sets was extraordinary and the key to the Lamas comeback after dropping the first set. Powered by Tasha's service points, and going all out on every play, the Lamas propelled themselves into the finals vs. Sportland. Tasha was absolutely a site to behold in the back row alongside Ryan Doughty as they bumped every shot that came to them which kept long volleys in play and were great fun to watch. While the Lamas were ultimately defeated in two close sets in the finals, Tasha ruled as volley queen of the night for outstanding sportsmanship and athletic ability in five great sets of play over two matches. Tasha, take Tubman - it's yours!

Ryan Doughty

The Volley Lama

Ryan Doughty of Volley Lamas did double duty on Wednesday Softcore at Tubman. Not only did he play a vicious game with his own squad at the 615pm game, he was a glutton for punishment and returned to sub for Air Bud Strikes Back at the 815pm game. Ryan lost absolutely no momentum between his first and sixth game of the night . With unbelievable fortitude and skill, he was able to play crazy defense with the Lamas and threw in a few forceful kills at net as well. That added up to a 3-0 victory over Sloppy Sets. Take an hour break, and Ryan's back in the gym ready to crash the Air Bud team party by stepping aboard and continuing his fantastic night of not only mad skills but great sportsmanship. Bet you slept well afterward!

Caitlin Doughty

Caitlin Doughty Powers the Lamas to a Sweep

The Volley Lamas returned to the Wednesday Softcore league at Tubman ready to pick up where they left off last season (well, last week...), with Caitlin leading the charge like nobody's business. Her service is strong, relentless and never seems to miss the intended target. She has a clever service set up with her hitting hand and arm way behind her head. But it is ridiculously effective with the force that she gets from that motion. And ups? Caitlin is the BOSS in getting to those hard to reach and seemingly impossible saves. Behind her strong games, the Lamas were able to sweep We'd Hit That in three sets for a 3-0 match. Go Caitlin!
