It was a day of contrasting fortunes for Bermuda’s volleyball teams competing at the prestigious 2025 USA Volleyball Open National Championship in Denver, Colorado.
The Devil’s Isle Women’s squad continued to face a tough challenge on day two. They endured another three matches, unfortunately all ending in straight-set defeats. They fell to the Chicago Coast, then the SHOG Dogs, and finally Blono Elite. While the results haven’t gone their way, the experience gained against this level of competition will be invaluable for their development.
However, it was a more positive day for the Ace Boyz Men’s team. They carried their momentum from day one, starting with a confident straight-sets victory over the Scrubs. They followed that up with another impressive straight-sets win against Sets in the City. This strong showing highlighted their attacking quality and teamwork.
Unfortunately, their winning streak came to an end in their final match of the day against Fog Canada. In a closely fought encounter, the Ace Boyz narrowly lost the first set and eventually succumbed in the second.
Despite the late setback, the Ace Boyz will take encouragement from their two earlier victories, proving their ability to compete at this high level. Both the men’s and women’s teams will be looking to learn from their experiences as the tournament in Denver continues.
