 Boom showed their best performance of the season at the GEVA 2012 tournament on 4/14/12 at Downstate Athletic Center.  They started off strong in pool play, first winning in 3 sets to Downstate Mirror 25-20, 13-25, 15-9.  After that feat, they went on to play and conquer with ease Downstate Silver 25-20, 25-12.  The last team them played in pool play was Apex Wahlah, which they defeated in 2 sets as well, 25-14, 25-2.  Boom showed remarkable teamwork throughout the day and improved with each game them played.  

 
They went on to playoffs first seeing NYC Juniors- Orange, Boom defeated them with ease, 25-10, 25-14, and went onto to play Oxygen in the semi-finals.  Oxygen seemed to be a very well rounded team and going into the match, the girls knew they would have to work extremely hard if they wanted to move on.  They conquered Oxygen in a suspenseful 3 sets, 25-22, 16-25, 15-11.  Their win brought them to the finals against Downstate Blue.  The first win was almost a loss, but boom kept on fighting ending the first set 26-24.  They continued their battle with the same intensity as the first set, which resulted in a victory over Downstate Blue 25-22! Boom was named champions of this GEVA 2012 tournament, which is the second one of the year!!
