Our first round of the 14 Power League Qualifier is over, thankfully. We did not bring our best play during the day, except for moments in our third match. But we did prevail and hold our #3 seed overall to carry into next weekends play. Hopefully we will start the day much better.
We traveled up to Cascade Middle School in Vancouver and there was so much fog, that no one could see the sign for which school was which! But the gyms were nice and spacious for pursuing balls. Just a little cold! Cold is how we started our morning play with not much movement or intensity on the court. We struggled through our first match and won in 3, lost our second match in 3, but then after a break and some yummy food, we came out and played our match against NW Reign looking more like the team we had hoped to see. We played with confidence and intent and beat them in two sets. That created the first crossover against Rose City Gold, and we beat them in 2 sets also. That allowed us to go home early!
Thanks to the parents who kept us well fed and encouraged the girls when they most needed it! We look forward to a much higher level of play on both sides of the net as we enter the second day of Qualifier with the top 16 teams at Eastmoreland Courts. Go OJ's!!
