The Charles Hays senior girls volleyball team (CHSS) battled hard placing 14th at the AA girls provincial championship in Kelowna.
The girls opened the round-robin against DP Todd losing the first set 25-14 and the second set 25-23. The second game of the tournament was much closer as CHSS matched up against Pacific Christian. CHSS lost the first set 25-15 but took the second set 25-19, however CHSS lost the deciding third set 16-14. In the final game of the round-robin against Southern Okanagan, CHSS dropped the first set 25-19 but won the second set 25-20. For the second straight game, CHSS dropped the deciding set 15-10. Despite losing all three games CHSS had a guaranteed spot in the playoffs.
In the round of 16 CHSS lost three straight sets to the eventual champions, Unity Christian. CHSS lost 25-13, 25-15 and 25-13 in the three sets respectively. After the round of 16 loss, CHSS entered the consolation bracket going up against Vancouver Christian. Now back to a best-of-three in the consolation bracket, CHSS lost the first set 25-14 and took the second 25-23 but again lost the third set 15-8.
Following the loss to Vancouver Christian, CHSS was playing for placement and could finish 13th at best and 16th at worst.
In the first placement match CHSS had a round-robin rematch against Southern Okanagan. CHSS got their revenge on Southern Okanagan as they took the game in two sets, winning 25-19 and 27-25 earning a spot in the 13th/14th placement game against DP Todd. DP Todd won the game in dominant fashion with set wins of 25-13 and 25-17 to earn 13th place while CHSS earned 14th place in the loss.
While 14th place isn’t what CHSS was hoping for, they played seven great games and worked as a team and improved upon last year’s 16th place finish.
