Served and Sealed 🏓

What a weekend in Philly! The 2025 MLTT Championship brought high-stakes matchups and standout performances from all four playoff teams.

What a weekend in philly1

Saturday’s semifinals were heated as the Texas Smash took down the Chicago Wind, and the Carolina Gold Rush secured their championship spot against the Bay Area Blasters, setting up an East vs. West final. On Sunday, the Blasters bounced back to edge out the Wind for third place – then all eyes turned to the championship match.

In front of a sold out crowd at Saint Joseph’s University, the Carolina Gold Rush took down defending champs Texas Smash to win their first-ever MLTT Cup.

Thank you to all the fans who made it unforgettable – Season 3 is just around the corner!
