Thanks to all who made it out last night to watch the Sr. Volleyball team play St. Pats (they won 3-0). The girls are playing Jr. Boys (yes, boys!) in a tournament on Sunday, and then a match vs. STM on Monday. Don’t miss the final regular season home game of the season on Wednesday, vs. Carver.

The girls also had a good result at their recent tournament in Nanaimo. They finished the first day 4-0, and lost in a very close final to Timberline on the second day. Dayna and Laura were named 2nd team All-Stars, and Siobhan and Kaleigh were named 1st team All-Stars. Overall it was a great team effort and a respectable 2nd place finish versus a AAA #2 seeded team.
