It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Viera had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 victory over the Bayside Bears. The Hawks have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Bears, too.
Viera wouldn't go down easily and took Bayside into a fifth set where they got it done with a ten-point win. The final score came out to 21-25, 25-17, 15-25, 25-21, 15-5.
Viera was lethal from the service line and finished the game with 14 aces. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now served at least five aces in nine consecutive contests.
Bayside's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Camille Moller, who had eight digs and two aces, and Maddie Hamilton, who had 14 digs and four aces. Moller is also on a roll when it comes to assists, as she's now posted 14 or more in the last 18 games she's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Adison Carter, who had seven digs.
Viera has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 14-12 record this season. As for Bayside, with the loss, they broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 16-9.
