U18 Nationals – Quebec, QC
The U18 Girls returned home from the U18 National Club Championships held in Quebec City late Sunday night. This was a first class, competitive experience that will certainly help the players and coaches prepare for the U16 Nationals coming up at the end of the month. The team finished 10th among a field of 14 teams. Although not their optimal result the girls can be proud of their performance as the team consisted of mostly U16s playing in a U18 National event.
The team won 2 games and lost 3 games over the weekend. They lost to DDO1 (Gold medal winners) and Team Manitoba in their divisional round robin. The game versus Team Manitoba was very close tied 7-7 going into the final quarter. Manitoba came out on top in the 4th quarter utilizing their deeper bench throughout the game. In the cross over they defeated CAMO White (7-6) and Hammer (10-2) to play St. Lambert for 9th position. The girls fell 13-4 in this final game exhausted from 4 days of intense water polo.
Good effort girls and the best of luck at the U16 National Championships!
