Tournament Results: Ohio Xtreme

JVBC played in its first tournament last Saturday and had a great outing!

The girls were a bit nervous at the beginning of the day but came into their own as the day went on.

We began the day by playing Pittsburgh Elite White.  We were fairly even with this team!  The girls missed quite a few serves this match but did a lot of great things!  We ended up losing 18-25 and 20-25.

The next match was against PCVC Brittany.  The girls continued to miss a lot serves but luckily the PCVC team did too!  We had lots of great plays and started to look more confident!  The girls won 25-20 and 25-18!

The third match of pool play was against Ohio Xtreme Black.  This team was very good (and actually ended up winning the entire tournament later in the day!)!  The girls struggled a lot against Xtreme's tough serves and ended up making some mistakes due to frustration.  We lost in two sets.

We were seeded 3rd in our pool and after comparing records in pool play, were placed as the 1st 3rd place team.  We faced Club Crush Orrville in the first round of the tournament.  This team had some great servers!  Our team played great, among the best of the day!  The girls finally had their serves under control and we had some long volleys with this team!  We lost the first match 19-25 but came back and won the second 25-16!  This took us to a 3rd set.  Unfortunately, we got caught up in a few good serves and lost this 3rd set.  We played great against Crush and later found out that they had come in second in the tournament!

We ended up tying for 5th place (out of 12), which is great for our first tournament of the season!  

Great job girls!
