The 16-1's were playing in the Bronze bracket for 9th place today. Their first match was against Nike Six Pack from Iowa, a team that had pretty much crushed us in the Northern Lights Qualifier. However this match was different. The 16-1's jumped out to a quick lead in set 1 and held onto it for the entire set winning 25-23. Set 2 was similar to set 1, back and forth the entire set. In the end NL won it 28-26. This put the 161 team into the finals of the Bronze bracket against TAV. The final match of the season for 16-1 was a good one. TAV is a good team and the match was very well played with lots of long rallies and great digs. NL 16-1 won the match in two straight sets. 25-23 and 25-19. They officially finished 9th in the nation by winning the Bronze Division. Now it's on to Europe with this team leaving in 2 days!
The 16-2's were playing in Flight 2 for 25th place today. Their first match was against Renaissance from South Carolina. The 16-2's controlled the first set up until the end when Renaissance came back and won it 25-23. The second set wasn't very pretty with Renaissance winning it 25-16. This ended the tournament for the 16-2 team. They officially finished 27th.
This concludes the 2010 US Junior National Championships for Northern Lights.
