The Sunshine Coast Volleyball Club’s (SCVC) U18 team finished their successful season with an outstanding performance at the BC Club Volleyball Provincial Championships last weekend at the Richmond Olympic Oval.
The team had a fantastic first day, winning three straight matches against Comox Valley, Yukon Elite from Whitehorse, then dispatching Cougars VBC from Maple Ridge in two sets to finish first in their pool.
The playoffs started the next day. First up, the girls defeated Cloverdale VBC in two sets, setting up a semi-final battle against North Shore Stars VBC from North Vancouver. These teams have played five previous times, with this one being one of the closer matches. Fortunately, the team rallied, taking a very tense match in three tight sets to reach the final!
The final was against a very good team from West Kootenay VBC out of Nelson. The team bolted out to a commanding lead in the first set, unfortunately they were unable to hold on, as Kootenay took the first set, then rode momentum to take the match in two sets.
The team went 5-1 for the weekend; and a silver medal for their effort!
Upcoming events for SCVC teams include U14, U15 and U16 provincials in Abbotsford the next two weekends.
