| Scotiabank Defenders Win 3rd Straight NPVA Title (2012/13) |
In the 5th and deciding game of the New Providence Volleyball Association's men's championship and 2012/2013 season, the Technicians were off to a good start leading the Scotiabank Defenders in the first set 7-2.
However, the Defenders would not give up and rebounded to take the first set 25-19. In the second set, being down again, the Defenders fought their way to win a crucial set 25-23 and in the third set after leading comfortably by 5 points, the Technician would eventually tie the score at 11-11 before taking a 13-11 lead behind Renaldo Knowles' 4 consecutive kills. Trading points, the Defenders would take advantage of the Technicians mental errors and win the 3rd and deciding set 25-22.
Ian "Wire" Pinder once again led the Defenders with 9 kills and a block. Both Shedrick Forbes and Lahaundro Thompson had 4 blocks and an ace respectively. Jamaal Ferguson finished with 6 digs and 7 receptions to compliment Tony Simon's 30 assists.
For the Technicians, Renaldo Knowles led all scorers with 18 kills and 10 receptions. Eric Johnson had 3 blocks, Adalbert Ingraham 4 digs and Audril Farquharson 2 aces and 27 assists.
Congratulations to the Scotiabank Defenders who rallied from a 0 - 2 championship deficit, to regroup and sweep the next 3 games to secure their 3rd straight championship.
SPECIAL NOTE: I found this video online of one of the players Shedrick Forbes in international play. Check out this bad boy.
