Last weekend at Mare Island Sport Center, Davis 15-2 played in its second Power League tournament.  Davis started the day with a match against the San Francisco Tremors.  Davis lost a close game one 25-23 then dropped game two 25-19.  Though they didn’t get the win, strong passing from Gilanne Del Rosario and Megan Bielawski’s net play started in this early match and would carry over though out the day.  Davis met another tough opponent in their second pool play match in the form of Empire Gold 15-3.  Davis lost the match 25-12 in the first game and 25-21 in the second game.  Melani Rabaino and Adriane Wisner both put up strong serving performances in the match, leading the team with two and four aces respectively.  Davis’ third match of the day was against the first seed of the tournament and ended up being their toughest of the day.  They
fought hard against Club NYC but came up short losing two games to one.  Avalon Lucero had a nice setting match even when the team struggled passing and worked hard to get her teammates swings.  In their final pool play match Davis faced Club Levile.  Consistant passing and defense from libero Celine Bertero and aces from Ashley Rabaino, Melani Rabaino, and two from Adriane Wisner all contributed to Davis’ first victory of the day.  Davis took Club Levile two games to none.  After beating Club Levile, Davis had to turn around and play them for a second time in their first game of bracket play.  Club Levile was out for revenge and got it in a close two game match.  Davis lost 25-20, then a heartbreaking 26-24.  Sammy Covington had a strong performance in this match recording stats in three big categories; kills, aces, and digs.  After such a disappointing defeat Davis had to face Empire Gold 15-3, a team that had defeated them earlier in the day, in their final match.  Davis was down in the match one game to none after a 25-23 defeat in game one.  However, Davis would come back to win games two, 25-17, and three, 15-12, to end the day on a very good note.  Every girl on the team contributed to their final win of the day including Megan Bielawski who scored one of the final points in game two with a stellar block.  Injured Nickole Hunley-Moore also contributed with her talk and enthusiasm on the sidelines in this match and throughout the day.
