Team Sandinista Still Looking for First Win

CHICAGO (October 19, 2004) -- Team Sandinista is still gunning for its first victory as it heads into tonight's match-up against Scared Hitless at the Windy City Field House. The three-game series airs live at 6 p.m. on "Tuesday Night V-Ball" on SMN, the Sports Monster Network.

"Scared Hitless is nearly as bad as we are," said Andrew Huff, starting rear cornerman for Sandinista. "They've only won three games. If we can't pull off at least one win against these guys, we're seriously lame."

Sandinista are coming off a stupendous 0-15 slump, scoring just 94 points in response to 225 points by competitors. Those dismal numbers have begun to take their toll on the team as the season enters the home stretch, but the Sandinistas are trying to keep a positive outlook.

"We don't really suck as bad as it seems," Huff said. "We need to improve our serve return, which has been our downfall every game. And we actually play pretty well until we start to get behind in the score, at which point things really fall apart."

Team Sandinista will face Typhoon next week in the last match of the regular season. Typhoon is at .500 going into this week's match-up against Six-Pack, who were victorious over Sandinista in Week Five.

Huff said that because of the early game-time, Sandinista team members had all agreed to vote before work, so as not to miss either the game or the vote.
