Impact Point Page #5

And that brings us to the most unlikely team

of Jen Crowe and Kelly Reyes.

Diana's former partner joining forces

with her long-time bitter rival.

So, Dain, how do you think

they match up with their competition?

Well, how does anyone match up

with Tori Nickels and Lynn Green?

The two towers have won more tournaments

than any other duo on the AVP tour.

Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise.

This is the finals. It is game on!

At 6'3"...

It's show time.

... ladies and gentlemen, Lynn Green.

And her partner, ladies and gentlemen,

she's won three NCAA titles...

Was that pity?

... give it up for

Tori "The Towering Inferno" Nickels.

Hey, for Matt and Diana.

Let's knock these pituitary cases

down to 5'10".

Let's do it!

... the high-flying, electrifying

young woman out of UCLA,

one of the deadliest servers in the world.

Seven other wins,

looking for her first-ever tour title,

Jen "The Hammer" Crowe.

Oh, I love to introduce her,

ladies and gentlemen,

in just one season,

she has made it to the top.

In college, one of the most decorated

players of all time, four NCAA titles,

the blonde, blazing, bombshell,

here she is, Kelly Reyes.

Ladies and gentlemen, the stage is set.

It is the Tour Championship.

Lynn Green, Tori Nickels, Kelly Reyes,

and Jen Crowe, are you ready?

The crowd is ready to go

and so are the athletes.

It's go time. Game is on!

No! No! No!

Nice pass by Jen Crowe. The rally goes on!

Cross court hammer by Nickels

out of the reach of Crowe.

Green and Nickels strike first

and take the early lead.

The teams are gonna be playing

best of three sets. The first two, to 21.

And the third, if we need it, to 15.

Lieutenant, my orders have me

in the stands.

You got me working the parking lot?

Listen, Sandeval,

unless our guy plans on getting here

and huffing it across that sand,

the parking lot's

the only paved way out of here.

I need a good guy out here, all right.

The 12 cops on the barricade, they're yours.

- All right? You understood?

- What about courtside?

I got courtside. You handle the lot.

Ladies and gentlemen, make a little noise.

Kelly Reyes slices and dices.

Hey, what's happening?

Why are you asking me what's going on?

You're in the stands.

Lieutenant's got me out in the parking lot.

He what?

You listen to me. You don't take a piss

without my permission.

Do you understand me?

You know what, sir? Last time I checked,

lieutenant's got you way outranked.

Here's Green!

Puts it away for another side out.

Nickels and Green are in for a fast out.

Reyes and Crowe cannot let

that get to them.

- Freeze.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Jesus Christ, Ed.

You match the description type.

Well, so do half the guys here.

Are you gonna shoot them also?

Why are you even down here?

You're supposed to be in the TV truck.

- Yeah, but...

- But what?

Ed, no buts.

No, no, you got your orders, follow them.

All due respect, sir. This is still my case.

Well, no disrespect, Ed,

but not if I have any say in it.

- Excuse me?

- Matt Cooper was on your watch.

It's not gonna happen here, all right?

So just get back to your post.

Green and Tori Nickels pulling away

here at game number one.

You all right, Ed?

Yes, sir.

So it'll be Nickels back to serve.

- Down the middle.

- No! Out!

- Looks out.

- What?

Oh, it's called in and Reyes is livid.

She goes to the line judge.

She's not gonna change her call.

- Come on, it's out!

- Now she goes to the referee

and I guarantee you,

he's not gonna overrule.

Hey, that is a tough break

at this point in the match.

That ball, Mike, is clearly out.

Kelly Reyes trying to get

something started here.

Nice pass by Nickels.

And Nickels with a fierce hit

right to the center.

Nickels and Green are just continuing

to dominate this first set.

I'll tell you what,

Nickels and Green are on fire. Up 10-7.

Reyes and Crowe are gonna have to do

something to turn this thing around.

What is she seeing?

- You okay?

- Yeah. Let's play ball.

Nickels back with a float serve. Nice pass.

Nickels has an opportunity

and once again just bangs it there.

Nickels and Green absolutely dominate

as they lead one game to zero.

- Sandeval.

- Yes, sir.

- Anything?

- Nada.

Stay sharp.

Can Jen Crowe and Kelly Reyes

stop the bleeding?

- They got 100 cops out there. Just relax.

- They haven't exactly found him yet.

- Just concentrate.

- I am!

On winning, Kel. Not on him.

Look, this is our house.

He's not welcome here.

So let's go get them. Come on. Okay?

Kelly Reyes and Jen Crowe come out

for game number two as they try for...

Well, we start game number two.

Jen Crowe will be back to serve.

They're gonna have to turn

this thing around.

Nice serve. Pass by Green.

Green up at the net and off the block.

So Green and Nickels start exactly

where they left off in the first game.

Float serve to Reyes.

See if they can make

something happen here.

Reyes with a hard hit to the sand.

That's exactly what they need.

Think something must have

switched on with Kelly Reyes.

That's the hardest I've seen her hit a ball

all tournament.

Jen Crowe on the back line

with a top spin serve.

It's handled well by Nickels.

Nickels cross court. She's dug by Crowe.

But an overset. Crowe somehow blocks

that ball into the court.

Jen Crowe and Kelly Reyes

are on fire this set.

They are really turning the match around.

Well, the momentum has changed

and things are finally clicking

for Reyes and Crowe.

She slams another one home.

Reyes and Jen Crowe

play an unbelievable defense.

Great pass by Kelly Reyes.

The rally continues...

Looks like we have a play at the net.

Reyes up. It's a joust. And it's in.

How about that? Reyes and Crowe put it

together and take game number two 21-19.

That'll force game number three.

Now we're deep into game number three.

All tied up at 13.

It's an ace down the middle.

Years of work, struggle,

and commitment come down to this.

It's game, match, and championship point

for Nickels and Green.

Kelly Reyes and Jen Crowe

really need to do something now

or this Cinderella story is going to be over.

You're exactly right. Reyes and Crowe

have their backs up against the wall.

It will be Reyes to serve it up.

She goes with a jump serve.

It's handled well by Nickels.

Great set. Cross court shot.

It's gobbled up by Crowe.

Can she put it away?

Yes, it's down the line and just in.

Not yet, says Jen Crowe.

This is anybody's game.

Well, Reyes and Crowe dodged

one championship point.

Now they have an opportunity

to take the lead.

Kelly Reyes will go back to serve and see

if they can continue this Cinderella story.

An over pass.

Now Crowe with a great hit.

As the play goes on here,

Reyes is gonna have an opportunity.

And she hits the back line.

Kelly Reyes and Jen Crowe

have turned the tables.

They now have game, match

and championship point.

Kelly Reyes has the chance to win

her first ever title.

Tour championship on the line.
