        The 15U Â鶹ÊÓƵeast Vipers attended a 20-team tournament on Saturday, Feb. 28, and Sunday, March 1, in Regina.
               The girls were in a pool of five having to compete against Regina’s 14U QCVC Elite first. This match was hard fought and went to three sets with the younger team barely getting the edge on the Vipers. Speaking with the QCVC coach later about their team it was found they picked the top 12 out of approximately 90 girls who tried out for the team.
               The girls then won against the 15U QCVC Purple 2 in two sets. They fought hard in their next matches against Saskatoon’s JCVC team and had a close match against Estevan, though they were unable to clinch victories over them.
               This lined them up to play against the Moose Jaw Panthers Sunday morning. The girls had a tough time finding their spark in this game, but with a few hours off before their next match they refocused and came out strong.
               They met RVC Gold, another Regina team, and this time there was no stopping them. One of the girls went on a serving run and the Vipers forced the other team to make errors by giving them toughly placed and hard hit balls.
               This win propelled them into playing for 13th place against the 14U QCVC Elite team that the Vipers had faced in the round robin and had lost to in three sets. The girls dug deep and worked as a team to earn victory this time in another three set match.
               The girls finished 13th out of 20. They finished very strongly, a great accomplishment after facing a few tough defeats.
