SEATTLE, WA--Mar. 8, 2010 Power League 3-Saturday WVBA 16-Shannon went 2-0 in pool play before facing off against 16-Chris who were also 2-0 to determine the winner of Pool A. It took three sets but 16-Shannon prevailed to win the pool. WVBA 16-Chris would then face the winner of Pool B in the crossover match. UPVBC 16 beat WVBA Mizuno 15 to win pool B and then faced 16-Chris in the first semifinal match. 16-Chris kept it close but came up just short 23-25, 23-25. They would now face the loser of the other all WVBA semifinal, 16-Shannon and Mizuno 15. WVBA Mizuno 15 beat both ITVC 16 Asics and SIVBC 16 Thunder before falling to UPVBC 16 to finish 2nd in pool B. 16-Shannon played steady and defeated the Academy 15s 2-0 in the other semifinal. 16-Chris defeated WVBA 15 to take 3rd while 16-Shannon survived a scare in set 1 against UPVBC, but ended up winning the finals 2-0 to keep their record unblemished on the season. Mizuno 14 made their first appearance in the Gold Division of the U15 Power League Saturday. They competed well in all matches but struggled with consistency all day. They finished 8th in Gold. |
