ANOTHER MEDAL SECURED🥈🥈🥈

We are beyond proud to share the outstanding performance by the girls in Hamilton on Saturday, Feb. 21. Moving up to Championship B, we were excited to see what a high level of competition would look like for us. Coming into the tournament in 8th seed, the girls fought hard all morning finishing first in their pool after a tough 3-set battle against Smash Raiders Reach and another close game against Scorpions Ignite. 

Into the quarter final against London Fire Explode, the girls served and hit aggressively to win both sets 25-22 and 25-19. A nail biting semi final game against FCVC Evergreen went to three sets and we eventually came out on top winning 16-14 in set three. 

After punching our ticket to the gold medal match, the girls knew they had to give it their all and that’s exactly what they did. Winning the first set 25-22 we had high hopes. We fell just short after losing set two 25-20 and three 15-12. 

Coming home with a silver medal at a Championship-level tournament was a huge accomplishment for us and we couldn’t be prouder!!! #letsgooutburst!!!

After success at our previous OVA tournament, the team moved up to Trillium White and entered the McGregor Cup seeded 9 of 9—and they made a statement right away.

The morning kicked off with a straight-set win over 3rd-ranked Niagara Rapids Summit, followed by a victory against 4th-ranked Unity Resilience.

Storm finished 1st in pool play and met Reach Rise after lunch, securing another 2-set win to advance to the semifinals.

In the semis, Storm defeated EVP Eagles Fury in two sets, earning a spot in the finals against Grimsby Vipers Invasion. The team battled hard but came up just short, finishing the day with a silver medal 🥈—an incredible result in a higher division for the Underdogs.

They faced London Sharks Fury in the quarterfinals defeating them in 2 straight sets. In the semifinals, they faced Norfolk Chaos Empower and lost a very tight match in 3 sets.

That placed them in the bronze medal game where they once again faced St. Thomas, but this time came out victorious winning in 3 sets to take home the bronze! Great effort everyone!!

Riptide played up a division for the first time at the 17U McGregor Cup, taking on a tough challenge while missing three regular players.

On Saturday, January 24th, TLS Outburst claimed another silver medal to add to the collection at Holy Trinity in Simcoe!

After going undefeated all morning and finishing first in their pool, Outburst went straight to the quarter finals after lunch. They faced West Elgin Warriors Courage and came out on top earning a spot in the semifinals.

The girls played an exciting semi-final game against Norfolk Chaos Chill and used their communication and visualization skills to get to the gold medal match!

Facing Twin Bridges Thunder Boom Red in the final, Outburst knew it would be a challenge. After going down 23-25 in the first set, they came back strong to win set two 25-18 allowing them a chance to take it all in the third set.

A nail biting third set left the girls coming up short to a 15-17 loss but an amazing game, nonetheless.

The coaches are so proud to have earned another medal and they look forward to perfecting our new 6-2 rotation for the next tournament! #letsgooutburst 🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡

Brant Riptide captured Silver this weekend at the 16U Girls McGregor Cup in Simcoe, delivering their strongest volleyball performance of the season.

The team came out firing, winning their morning pool and setting the tone early. They defeated Norfolk Chaos Fury in a hard-fought three-set match (25–13, 20–25, 15–11), followed by a confident straight-sets win over London Fire Smoke (25–20, 25–14).

In the Quarterfinals, Riptide continued their momentum with a decisive two-set victory over Waterloo Tigers Titanium (25–14, 25–16).

The Semifinals brought another strong test against Waterloo Tigers Ascent, where the team once again rose to the challenge, winning in two sets (25–21, 25–16).

The Final against a tough Jr. Gryphons Strikers squad was a thrilling, back-and-forth battle. Despite an outstanding effort, Riptide narrowly fell in three close sets (25–20, 20–25, 15–17) to finish the tournament with a well-earned silver medal.

The entire team should be extremely proud of the hard work, growth, and resilience that led to this result. This weekend was a clear step forward, and the group looks poised to build on this momentum moving ahead.

BYVC 16U Synergy won a gold medal at the McGregor Cup Championship level on the weekend at the Stratford Agriplex.  In doing so, they earned promotion to the Select Level of OVA competition.

The team had a tough morning when they lost both matches in 3 to London FC Willow (21-25, 25-19, 9-15) and Grimsby Vipers Invasion (25-13, 23-25, 11-15).  This placed them into a do-or-die match with Waterloo Tigers Instinct.  Winner got into the playoffs; loser plays for 7th/9th place and gets relegated to Trillium level.  Synergy won that contest 25-15, 25-20 which set up a quarter final with the tournament’s #1 seed Mississauga Pakmen Black.

In the final, they also met FC Willow again.  Synergy were very business-like in securing a two-set win with scores of 25-16, 25-21 and the gold medal.

The 17U Brant Tornadoes travelled to Mohawk College for an early 8am start, but showed no signs of grogginess with a quick 25-18 win against the Niagara Athletics Aces. Dropping the next two sets to the eventual Gold medal winners, they finished pool play against Scorpions Ace with two straight sets.

Post-lunch started with a set loss to Chatham Ballhawks Attack, but they battled back to grind out a 25-23 win and a dominant 15-4 clincher to move into semis.

Meeting MVC Helicon in the semis was a gruelling battle lost by the minimum 4 points in a match going 25-23, 23-25, 13-15.

With not much time to recover, the bronze medal match started with a 31-29 win against Georgetown Impact Attack with everyone holding their breath at every possible set point back and forth. With the momentum, the girls closed out the match clinching their first OVA medal of the season led by Kiah, Jordyn, and Alexis in the Bronze medal match.

Throughout the day, everyone contributed in a balanced attack led by captain Meara quarterbacking the offense with timely dumps and a never before seen “Shoot” to co-captain Diya. The Challenge Cup saw a season-best team hitting percentage taking advantage of libero, Izzy’s standout play in the backcourt.

A well-deserved and hard-fought medal before the holiday break!
