SAR pulls out a fabulous win over the Top Ranked Rapids
December 9th, 2013- In a five set thriller, SAR came away with a huge win over the Ma'ayanot Rapids. The games were (27-25) (13-25) (25-21) (17-25) (21-15). In by far the Sting's best game of the season, the team showed signs of resiliency unseen until now. To Ma'ayanot's credit, the game was never out of their reach. But SAR was not going to lose this game. Not on Ruby Toledo's birthday. Both teams came out of the gate strong, but SAR pulled away a first set win in extra points. In the second set, The Rapids proved why they are one of the league's elite, putting together a dominating 12 point win. The life seemed to be sucked out of the Sting, but we were all proven wrong as SAR came back with a strong third game to bring themselves to within 1 game of a match win. The Rapids responded calmly and precisely, comprising a fourth game win, subsequently setting the stage for an epic last game. The Sting did not falter on the big stage. The game was tied at 10 a piece, and then the Sting began to pull away. SAR put together a magical run and took home a match victory. In a season marked by some inconsistency, this win showed the league that SAR is a legitimate threat. After the game, in an e-mail responce, Coach Gryzlo talked about the importance of the win. "Maayanot hasn't lost a game, we broke that (streak) tonight. It was truly an amazing game with amazing saves". Indeed, it was.
