February 9, 2008 - The 15U CAPS
were off to Kingston for the OVA 16U Girls Bugarski Cup - Zone
E. With Mother Nature on our side, we had a perfect drive
down the 401.
Our first pool play match was against
the Northumberland Breakers 16U. We came out steady to
win the first set 25-23, but the bigger, stronger team proved too much
for the CAPS who lost the next two sets 12-25 and 6-15. Second
up was the Knight Black 15U team. It took 3 sets again,
but we prevailed and won the match 25-21, 13-25, 15-6. The third
pool play match was against the Pegasus 16U team. Despite
a terrific effort, we lost 26-28, 11-25, placing us 3rd in our
pool.
Now for the all important crossover match
against the Maverick Trailblazers 16U team. These two
sets were neck-and-neck, with the CAPS winning 26-24,
26-24.
The quarter finals set us up against the
1st place Ottawa Kangaroos 16U. This was the most
exciting set of the day, with great energy and a 'no ball hits the
floor' attitude - but even that wasn't enough, and the girls went
down in two straight (18-25, 21-25).
Our final match of the day was against
Peterborough Thunder 16U. The CAPS finished on a winning
note, 25-19 and 25-10, placing us 5th overall at this 16U
event.
Well done girls!! Thanks again to
coaches Cathy and Devon!
