The Tigers 15U Black team travelled to the heart of Pennsylvania to participate in the Happy Volley tournament hosted by the Penn State University.

After a successful Saturday of play, the Tigers 15U Black team competed in the Gold bracket against some very tough teams. They played some of their best volleyball against tough opponents.

On Monday, in the final day of competition, the quarter-final game pitted them against the 2nd ranked team in the 15U Club category – and beat them in 2 straight sets.  The semi-final game was against the team that won the Pool on Saturday.  This match up was close as they forced a third set but was a little overpowered by them.

A 3rd place finish in the Gold Division was an amazing accomplishment for these girls, finishing with the same rank as Storm Ice from Aurora, and played very well against the top 2 teams in the competition.

Congratulations Tigers 15U Black!

The Waterloo Tigers 14U Black team headed to the nations capital to participate in the Volleyball Canada Nationals tournament.

They had a chance to meet the Hon. Bardish Chagger, member of parliament for riding of Waterloo.

On Friday, participating in the 14U Girls Division 2 group, they defeated opponents LVC Fire Intensity and Peel Selects 03 in two straight sets. In their third match of the day, the Scarborough Titans Nemesis were able to stop the win streak defeating our athletes 25-19, 25-17 in two straight sets.

In the Power Pool Saturday, our athletes played well again – defeating the Aftershock team from Quebec and our neighbours in Cambridge – Scorpions 13U.  However, after forcing a 3rd set with Markham Revolution Fusion, they were defeated 15-11. This was not the last time they would see the Revolution Fusion team as they were both placed in the Tier 1 bracket for Sunday.

Playoffs started off with a bang as our athletes defeated West Nipissing Wild in two sets. The semi final match was also a two set win against Defensa White. This set the stage for a Gold medal final match against Markham Revolution Fusion. Unfortunately, our Tigers fell short in two tight sets 23-25, 24-26.

Congratulations Tigers 14U Black winning Silver at Nationals!

Unfortunately, they ran into some stiff competition losing 2-1 against the KW Predators Fusion team [7-25, 25-13, 9-15] moving them into the Bronze medal match. Their determination in this medal match showed as they took Etobicoke Titans Crius to three sets – only losing in the last set [25-22, 18-25, 10-15].  These athletes are just starting their life with volleyball and this tournament shows they have the character to enjoy the game.  Full results are posted on ISET.NET.
