Afternoon Delight wins first game of season

By Joe Preiner

Monday, October 22, 2007

Afternoon Delight returned to championship form in the season opener for men’s intramural indoor volleyball Sunday evening.

Triangle 1 lacked a full team, down five players to Afternoon Delight’s six for the entirety of the match. The one-man advantage made things easy for the defending champs, and they quickly got down to business. The first game started with Bret Jones, Topeka junior, serving brilliantly to give Afternoon Delight a lead from which it would never look back. Solid offense and quick hands on defense shut the door on any comeback hopes for Triangle 1. The first game in the best-of-three match ended 25-12 in favor of Afternoon Delight.

The second game went much the same way for Afternoon Delight. The team put on a clinic, winning the second game 25-12 and notching its first victory in what they hope will be another championship-caliber season. Ben Grams, Upland, Neb., junior, was happy about the victory. He said he togetherness of the team and unspoken understanding between the players helped them to avoid making mistakes.

“We played well as a team tonight,” he said.

Jones gave a little more credit to his team.

“I don’t want to sound like a jerk or anything,” he said, “but we really killed them tonight.”

The dominating victory puts Afternoon Delight well on its way to contend for a second-straight title.
