Match Summary
Lake Balboa's passing & defense held the lead in game 1 to narrowly edge out the set 1 win against a determined AMIT effort. The Cougar offense showed up in games 2 & 3 as the Lake Balboa team hit a respectable .217 & .211 in those games. Setter Narek Manukyan made the most of his front row opportunities to lead the charge with a .500 percentage with 5 balls parked on the hardwood in the last 2 sets. Manukyan also had 18 assists for the day. Arturo Pelaez hit .286 while Daniel Ancheta put down 11 spikes overall. The tight gym took some of the oomph off of Lake Balboa's serving but they still fired off 15 aces against AMIT featuring 6 by Arturo Pelaez & 4 by Daniel Ancheta. Pelaez was the shield for the Cougars denying AMIT 9 times while both Arturo & Daniel continued their superlative passing.
