鈥�(KSS) are big, they鈥檙e solid, they pass well and they serve tough, so overall I was super happy with our effort. I thought we played really well as a team, and that鈥檚 all you can do, so we鈥檝e got lots to be proud of today,鈥� said Gunning.
They came within a few points in every set, but in the end, it was the Owls taking the game in straight sets, 25-21, 25-21, 25-22.
鈥淲e played some teams a lot bigger than us, and I think we really fought hard,鈥� said Senior Laker Chloe Brydon. 鈥淎t the end of the last set there we gave in a little bit, but overall I think we played our hardest all day.鈥�
The four-team tournament also featured the Mount Boucherie Bears and Rutland Senior Secondary Voodoos senior girls, who played for bronze. The Bears took that game in straight sets, 25-20, 25-13, 25-19.
