The FVAA Spartans beat CYBVC2 by a score of 3-0 (25-25, 25-19, 25-18).
 
The FVAA Spartans gained their first match victory, 3-0, behind a balanced, all-around team effort against CYBVC-2. Solid passing by Will Asciutto and Brendan Smith, heavy hitting from Shane and Aaron Lympany, strong blocking from Tyler Malpass, relentless defense from DaQuan Mabry, and on-target setting by young Gannon Nawojczyk carried the Spartans to victory. The CYBVC-2 boys were lead by strong serving and setting from Aidan Carroll, crushing hits from Joseph Lucido, and some crafty serving by Amit Katyayan. Our thanks to Abby Moody and Ariana Lucido for R1 and R2 reffing, and to all those who served as line judges and scorekeepers.
