Krakens, Forest City, Titans & Shadow visit Ann Arbor Michigan
This past weekend a couple of our Kraken 16U girls joined up with girls from Forest City, Titans and Shadow to compete in the High School Girls tournament hosted by Wolverine Water Polo (WWP) Club in Ann Arbor Michigan.

The girls have played against each other many times, but they quickly settled into a team and showed true Ontario spirit playing 3 games on Saturday and 2 more Sunday.

Saturday started with a close game against the Third Coast Aquatics Thunder Dragons (team Thunder), but the girls pulled together for the win.  They had a quick snack in the stands (thanks Holly and Nicole!!), and then back into the water to play Great Lakes Aquatics (team Coral) where they secured their second win of the tournament.  Another refuelling break and then back to play team Dragon of the Third Coast Aquatics Thunder Dragons. Our goalie fell ill on Saturday, but a couple of the girls stepped up to cover and defence became even more important. The girls worked together to win their 3rd game of the tournament. Spirits were high on Saturday night when the girls returned to the hotel for some well deserved rest.

Sunday came quickly and with it 2 final games - the first against the Wolverine Water Polo team Blue, where our girls secured their 4th win. And the last game against the Wolverine Water Polo team Gold. The last game was a nail biter with scores going equally to both teams. The end result was a 17-16 loss for team Shadow, but our girls played strong against a very skilled competitor and should be very proud of their results.

Special thanks to Coach Mohamed who inspired and supported the girls all weekend.

And special thanks to the managers and the hotel captains for all the hard work in getting this opportunity setup and orchestrated with food and fun team events - you didn't miss a thing and our girls had so much fun!

Thank you Shadow & Wolverine Water Polo for inviting us!
