15U Girls Black Team Wins Gold at Select Challenge Cup!
December 8, 2018 – Coming off a gold medal win in their last Championship tournament, our Impact 15U Black team entered Select division for the second time in their playing careers. Seeded 3rd in the morning pool play, the girls struggled mightily in the first match and ended up losing in straight sets to Storm Tsunami. The girls took advantage of their break to reset mentally while grabbing a snack to refuel. The snacks must have been good as the girls proceeded to win every set for the rest of the tournament! Falling in straight sets were: Reach Apex in pool play, Titans Black in quarterfinals, Barrie Elites Black in semi’s and finally Phoenix Legacy in the Gold Medal match. Strong serving, overpowering attacks and relentless defence carried the day for our Impact girls. With the win, the girls move up to 11th place in the Province and into the top 9 teams for the Premier division event to be held on January 26th. Keep working hard ladies!
15U Girls Black Team Wins Gold at 16U Provincial Cup!
November 24, 2018 – Last year’s Division 3-Tier 2, 15U Gold medal at the Provincial Championship put the girls ranked #81 coming into the 16U season and slotted them in the Trillium Division of the 16U Provincial Cup held in Kitchener. In the morning pool play, our girls made quick work of both Defensa White 15U and Lakeside Isihlangu to win their pool. In a spirited quarterfinals, our girls beat Etobicoke Waves White in straight sets 25-10, 25-9 sending their opponents down to the consolation bracket. This win setup a semi-final match against the Ancaster Lions 15U team featuring a couple of tall hitters who had dominated their earlier matches. In the first set our Impact girls quickly established a solid net presence and shutdown the Ancaster attack, turning away a series of attacks from the Ancaster hitters and jumping out to a 15-4 lead. Strong serving and attacks from Georgetown ended the first set 25-12 and they quickly closed out the match with a 25-13 second set win. In the Gold medal match the girls faced the #1 ranked Peel Selects and secured the Gold with wins of 25-18 and 25-22.
The girls now move up to Championship Division ranked #57 at their next 16U tournament on January 12th.
15U Girls Black Team Wins Gold at 15U Provincial Cup!
November 3, 2018 – After finishing their successful 14U season in 25th place out of 159 teams, our Impact 15U Black team was looking to start strong in the new season. Our girls came in ranked #1 in the Championship Division tournament held in Maple, ON where they defeated both Lakeside and Northern Chill in straight sets in morning pool play. After a long lunch break waiting for their quarterfinal match up with Milton Edge, the girls came out very slowly and dropped the first set of the quarterfinals. A quick mental reset had the girls back on the winning path taking the next two sets to move on to the semi-finals vs. North Bay’s Vision VC. Our girls took that match in 2 quick sets and moved onto the Gold Medal Match. In the final match of the day vs. Hamilton’s Smash Legacy, our girls suffered a hard fought loss in the first set before bouncing back to secure the win. The girls now move up to Select division on December 8th - ranked #13 in the Province! Thanks to Coaches Sarah and Dave for making the trip east and sorry for the additional gray hairs!
