Next up was the number
1 seeded Barrie Elites 16U Black team. The first set was tight all the way
with our girls pulling out a 26-24 win. The second game started out very
close as well but we pulled away at the three quarter mark and won 25-19.
On to the gold medal match! Our competition this time was the Maverick
Outlaws, a strong 16U team out of Ottawa. This was the highlight match of
the day with exceptional play by both teams. The Mavericks came out
fighting and took the first game 25-20. Our girls dug deep for the second game
and won 25-23. The third game went to the Mavericks 15-10.
