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.

Sr. Volleyball Off to a Great Start

Tigers Banner (white)The Sr. Volleyball team is off to a great start. Last week at at UBC, the girls found their groove and went through their first tournament day of the season undefeated, going 3-0 vs. Oak Bay, SMU and Langley Christian School. They looked quite good and earned a berth in the top power pool. On day 2 the team played three top AAA and AAAA schools and lost some close matches to finish 4th in the top pool of the tournament.

This week they played Notre Dame on Monday, and STM on Wednesday. They came out on top both nights, but the game against STM was a challenge. STM played unbelievable defense and it very difficult for the girls to find their groove. It took until the 5th set for the Tigers to finally step into their game and put them away. The girls were exhausted but managed to find a way to win!

Next week will be busy with a practice on Monday, a scrimmage on Tuesday, games Wednesday (at St. Pats) and Thursday (at home vs. WPGA, 5:15pm start), and then the girls are off to Nanaimo for a tournament on Friday and Saturday. Good luck Tigers!
