The Bears are tied for first place in the Pacific League standings with the Arcadia Apaches, but also hold the tie-breaker over Crescenta Valley, who currently sit in third place. The Bears sit in second place by virtue of being swept by the Apaches last Friday.

Noah Duffield began the opening set with the game’s first kill for the Bears, but Skyy Alston’s service out of bounds awarded the point to the Nitros which tied the score at one. Jack Szaras and Riley Brinton scored back-to-back points to put the Bears 4-1. The Bears ultimately pulled away with Alston ending the opening set with an ace.

Quote of the week

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.“
