Girls 14U Red
Tigers Red started the day with good passing but ran into a scrappy Hurricane team and some trouble with clean hits & dropped the first match 16-25 & 23-25. The second match began with higher energy and a good start. We continued to pass the ball well but struggled with our serve reception and alas fell behind once again 16-25 & 15-25.
The playoff round began and the girls came off flat in the first game but pushed through in the second game to provide a very exciting finish taking the game to 23-24 but it was not to be as they were defeated by a well spotted ball.
The day ended on a positive note as the girls put together 2 strong games. Keeping the opponents to under 10 points each game. As they hit, passed and volleyed very well.
No red players of the game were awarded this tournament.
