Second Serve

 

By Nick Georgandis

The Washington Kastles and Springfield Lasers had the best records during the 2013 WTT regular season, and they showed just why that was on Thursday night.

The Kastles destroyed the Boston Lobsters 25-12 for the Eastern Conference title while the Lasers routed the Texas Wild 25-9 to win the Western Conference.

Washington and Springfield will square off for the WTT title on Sunday at Kastles Stadium at The Wharf. Boston took on the Kastles (13-2) for the second time in two nights, the Lobsters had no answers. Washington was up 10-3 after two sets, 15-5 after three and 20-7 after four.

Boston forced the most unnecessary overtime ever by scoring a 5-4 victory in men's singles, but Kastle Bobby Reynolds took the first point in overtime against Amir Weintraub to secure the victory and Washington's third straight conference title.

Springfield's romp to the league championship was even more laughable, as the Lasers won every set and never lost more than three games in a set.

This is Washington's third straight trip to the title match and fourth in the past five years. Washington has won the last two titles, defeating Sacramento 20-19 in 2012 and St. Louis 23-19 in 2011.

This is Springfield's first trip to the finals since 2001, when the Lasers lost to Philadelphia 20-18. The Lasers also reached the finals in 1999, losing to Sacramento.
