Angels claim 2006 championship!

2006 Champion-The Angels

'Fear the Halo' was the best way to describe the Angels' run to the 2006 YAM-NW Volleyball championship.

After the Angels picked up the No. 4 seed with a 17-19 record and were considered the darkhorse in the field, they defeated the defending champion Disciples two games to one in the first semifinal, a rematch of last year's title match.

Then, in a spirited title match, the Angels took care of business on serve receive defense and put the Saints away in two games to finish with a 21-20 record. The Saints, playing in their first title game, finished with an even 20-20 record to claim the runner-up position.

The Angels became the only team to earn back-to-back trips to the championship match. As the No.1 seed in the 2005 season, they lost to the Disciples in two games.
