LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. --
The 56th Force Support Squadron came out in full swing in the beginning of the first game against the 56th Operation Support Squadron June 16. Connor Noland, 56th OSS team leader, regrouped his team and got them back on track.
"The first game was full of mistakes we made," he said. "We weren't communicating as we should, and we failed to set up the ball correctly. We needed to switch up our tactics to attack mode and bring the pressure to them."
FSS took the victory in the first game with a lop-sided score of 25-17. Going into the second game, Noland and his team followed their tactic and went on full attack mode. FSS was in defense mode, but they could not handle the fast pace action by OSS and were defeated 25-17.
Going into the third and final game of the match, OSS had the momentum on their side.
"With us winning the second game, we had the motivation to give it our all in the last game," Noland said. "FSS is a good team, and I knew they weren't going down without a fight."
The third game was a full on battle between the two teams. The lead kept switching, and it seemed as though the game was going into overtime, but OSS came out swinging and won the final game 15-12.
"We have to treat each opponent as if we're playing the Air Force volleyball team, said Chris Brown, 56th OSS. "With that attitude, we will be able to give it our all and earn more wins during the season."
