In Power League, it's the crossover first round that determines most of your fate each month. When the tie-breaker rules forced Columbia 17-Black out of a multi-team tie in their pool to a crossover match that could have dropped them from the Bronze Division, the Columbia ladies made sure to take care of business. With that win, they held their place in the division, and will have the chance to move up again in March.
Columbia 17-Black scores: lost to MAC Juniors 18-1 Black 26-28, 22-25; defeated (#19) Webfoot 18-2 Silver 25-16, 13-25, 15-9; lost to Lebanon Warriors 18-1 19-25, 25-13, 13-15; defeated Roseburg 18-1 Black 25-10, 25-18; lost to Lebanon Warriors 19-25. (2-3, 5-6) - Bronze Division
Columbia 16-Black swept thru the Silver Division at CEVA Power League on Saturday. With only seven players available, the Columbia ladies had no subs, but still had a libero to help them over the top. These seven ladies just wouldn't be denied enroute to the Silver Power League Championship. With their victory, the team moves to 11th of 120 teams overall, and will play in the Gold Division next month. Congratulations everyone!
Columbia 17-Black captured the Silver Championship at the VIP Block Party this weekend. The Columbia ladies only loss on the day kept them from going after the Gold crown, but their 5-1 record for the tournament shows how well they are playing.
Columbia 14-Black swept their pool at the Walla Walla Sweet Spike to move to the Championship bracket, then ran their win streak to five matches before falling in the Championship Final match. Along the way, the 14-Black ladies won two extra points tie-break sets, but a THIRD tie-break set in the Championship final that also went into extra point proved too much. We know these ladies will be able to push over the top next time. Great job!
Columbia 16-Red ripped off five straight wins on Sunday, winning their Qualifier Bracket, and launching themselves into the Diamond Division and the top tier of CEVA Power League. Despite their now gaudy 10-2 match record over their first four days of play this season, once again their initial seeding held their final placement down. The ladies of 16-Red will play in the Diamond Division next month. They'll be #30 in the 121 team field, but we expect them to continue to move up, and their tournament seedings should start to reflect how well this team is playing. (It's hard to do better than undefeated!) Great work ladies!
