MEMORIAL DAY TOURNAMENTS 1 June 2010 The season ended with three SIVA teams competing over Memorial weekend. SIVA 17 competed in Washington Volleyball Academy's Emerald City Classic at the University of Washington. They started on Saturday on court 2 in the Hec-Ed Center playing on the same floor as the Huskies. After the completion of day 1, SIVA 17 remained in the hunt for Gold and returned to court 1 in the Hec-Ed. Leaving it all on the floor, the ladies of SIVA 17 fell short of Gold and was sent to the IMA building on Sunday to fight for Silver. When the dust finally settled on Sunday, SIVA 17 finished 13th out of 32 teams and played well. SIVA 14 and SIVA 15 ended their season competing in the Northwest Juniors Memorial Classic. SIVA 14 took third off their net during the first round and rebounded to take first during the second round, giving them a first round bye in the Bronze division. Fighting hard, the girls placed 5th in Bronze and 29th out of 42 teams. SIVA 15 began the weekend seeded 14th out of the 42 teams competing for supremecy. Working together, SIVA 15s went near perfect this weekend winning 18 of 19 sets, and all nine of their matches. Their effort and hard work was rewarded with a 1st place finish in the Gold division.
