On Saturday November 17th, the Interclub 16U girls traveled to Port Hope to compete in their first tournament of the season. Facing the very talented DRVC 15U team, the girls put up quite a challenge but were unable to come away with a win.
Durham Attack Black, who finished first in our pool also proved too much for the girls even though they came together with some incredible serves, defensive play and strong will.
The next team the girls faced; the Scarborough Falcons, displayed exceptional defense in previous matches, so the girls were well aware of what needed to be done. Unable to crack their scrappy defensive and high powered attacks in the first set, the girls incredibly overcame a 23-19 deficit in the second set with some excellent passing and phenomenal defense to pull out a very well deserved 26-24 win. A few passing errors in the third set gave the Falcons a considerable advantage, and although Interclub matched the Falcons point for point, they were unable to come away with the win.
As a result of this, the girls finished fourth in their pool, and faced the Ganaraska 16U Wolves. Four straight aces by Abi Moody and excellent net play by everyone involved, combined with some spectacular digs gave the girls an easy two set win over the Wolves.
The girls then went on to have a friendly all Interclub end to their tournament, facing the 15U/16U Interclub Girls. Although the 16U Girls took the game in two sets, it was a hard earned victory.
Mark, Mike and Aubrie thank all of the girls and their supporters, parents and friends who came out to support the team on November 17th. With clear team goals ahead for the 16U Girls, the 2007-2008 season looks very bright.
