The Weyburn Volleyball Club 14U Black team attended provincials in Warman/Saskatoon on April 17-19 weekend.
In round robin play, the girls were able to finish a perfect 4-0, defeating teams from Regina, Swift Current, Moose Jaw and Yorkton. Next they played a crossover match to determine if they were playing in Tier 1 or Tier 2. In a tightly contested match with Oxbow, the team was able to emerge victorious.
The quarter-final match versus Kerrobert was a back and forth affair. Kerrobert took the first game and Weyburn won the second setting up the all important third game. The Weyburn team took advantage of their opportunities and propelled themselves to the semi-final. In the semi-final game, the girls took on a tough team from Regina. Again, Weyburn traded wins in the first two games. The third game decided who would go on to play for gold. Both teams performed at a high level, trading points as the game went on. In the end, Regina took the third game by a score of 15-12, sending Weyburn to the bronze medal match.
Not wanting to go home empty-handed, the girls recovered from a heart breaker semi-final and were ready play the Saskatoon Smash. Saskatoon looked disappointed to be playing for third and Weyburn brought their "A" game, so it was a quick 25-16, 25-13 win.
"Weyburn finished the season with an excellent showing, finishing top three in a 40 team field," commented head coach Dustin Satre.
