Volleyball PEI sends three teams to Eastern Elite Volleyball Championship

Three teams played in Moncton over two days for the Eastern Elite Volleyball Championship, featuring all four Atlantic provinces in three divisions.

PEI's 18 U men 's team was coached by Krista Walsh and Darren Dawson who finished 4th overall. They battled on Friday to a 1/3 record with two of the three matches going to the fifth set to decide a winner. On Saturday, again the team played hard losing both the semi and the bronze medal in the fifth set and only eight players. The team members were Jeff Duggan, Brandon Boyce, Dylan Ellsoworth, Andrew Woodside, Chris Richard, Mike MacKinnon, Matt MacKinnon, and Tyler Bernard. Mike MacKinnon was named to the all star team.

The 16 U men 's team had only seven players, Greg MacCormack, Trevor Luttrell, Nathan Waite, Steven Feng, Marc Arsenault, Alec Parise, and Patrick Davis who were coached by Alan Clark and Ben MacAdam. They finished fifth of seven with a 2-6 overall record for the weekend and many close matched.

VPEI would like to thank all the players and coaches for their hard work over the many weeks.

 

Beach Volleyball Test Event....PERFECT!

Was it the new facilities, or the weather, or maybe the excellent organization? The first beach volleyball event in Summerside over the weekend was near perfect.

The finals on Sunday featured three Islanders, Cherie Campbell originally from Kensington along with her partner Jen Waugh from Fredericton, battled the PEI Canada Games team of Lindsey Theuerkauf from Cornwall and Alana Murphy from Montague. The senior team of Campbell and Waugh prevailed for another title in beach volleyball, now over their 20th tournament win in the Maritimes since joining forces.

The main purpose of the event was to work out any wrinkles that could come up duruing the games but everything ran very smooth all weekend long. Peter Bolo, event coordinator had this comment, " What a fantastic weekend for our test event. Our beach organizing committee did a fantastic job, got lots of ideas for improvements, and are to be commended for all the time and effort they have put in to this point and time. They are an incredible group of people. Thanks also go to all our volunteers who came out and worked hard all weekend to train for the Canada Games event which will be here in less than 4 weeks. Your hard work helped make the tournament a great success."

The tournament had great weather on Saturday with the overcast skies that seemed ready to open up and pour at any moment but never did. Eight teams played cross pools with the top two teams advancing to the finals. The three Canada Games team advanced along with Campbell /Waugh. The PEI Canada Games team advanced to the semis with a 3 and one record Saturday and played their best match on Sunday in the semi’s vs. the Nova Scotia Canada Games team winning 21 and 21. Campbell and Waugh earned their way to the semis with a win over the NB Canada Games team.

“The organizing committee and volunteers were amazing all weekend and allowed us as coaches to come out and just coach,” commented Lynn Boudreau PEI Canada Games coach. “ Peter Bolo was the right person to head up this event and along with all those giving their time on the committee, I think the beach volleyball will be the place to be in week one.

The next event for Team PEI is the Cavendish Beach Volleyball Tournament this weekend and then the Maritime Open held at Parlee Beach in NB the weekend before Canada Games..

The Kensington Crusaders U16 girls compete at Canada East Open

The Crusaders volleyball team had a successful weekend at the Eastern Canadian championships finishing 15th out of the 40 teams in their division.

The Crusaders had an incredible first day, going 3-0 and finishing first in their pool. Kensington opened their tournament play with a very impressive 25-16, 25-17 victory over the Northumberland Breakers from Cobourg, Ontario. They followed that with a tough 26-24, 25-16 win over the West Hants Wizards from Ellershouse, Nova Scotia. Their third match of the day saw Kensington fight back to defeat a very good Kent Nord Extreme team from Richibucto, NB 16-25, 25-23, 15-11.

With three wins on Friday, Kensington advanced to the top tier on Saturday. This meant a new pool with three of the top teams in the tournament. The Crusaders first match was a 25-7, 25-15 defeat at the hands of the Cape Breton Attackers. Their second match saw lose a hard fought 25-20, 25-15 decision to the Moncton Bleu et Or. The final match of the day saw Kensington play the eventual bronze medalists, the Dragons CSA from LaSalle, Quebec, losing 25-19, 25-15.

Sunday morning, Kensington faced a very good Cylones team from Lachenaie, Quebec in the tier 2 quarter-finals, losing a very well played match 25-17, 25-14.

Redd Mudd U15 girls compete at Canada East Open in NB!

With a team of 10, 4 at the U14 age, Redd Mudd U15 girls coached by Morley and Gina Foy had a successful experience at this years Eastern Canadians. 3 days in the early pool is no easy task for anyone, let alone a group of 13-15 year old girls, but this team rose to the challenge and competed with the best!

Day 1 saw lots of success with a strong win against Ottawa and one of Quebecs many teams, and a loss against another Quebec team. Happily this meant nothing lower than a tier 2 finish. Day 2 was a bit of a downer, as the first team Mudd met, Maverick Ambush from Ottawa, was the strongest team in this division, and actually went on to win tier 1. There were some long rallies in this match however, and the girls felt their play was strong! The day continued with another couple of losses both to Quebec teams. It was a day of defeat on the court, but the girls played well and easily managed to kept their spirits high because they knew they did their best. With scores in the second sets reaching 21-25 and 24-26, heads were up and confidence continued. The third day began with tier 2 quarter finals, and yet another team from Quebec. This was, by far, the closest game in three days, and Redd Mudd edged the win in two sets 25-22 and 29-27. Anna McCarvill had a beautiful setting day which allowed Sydney Foy to execute many powerful hits from all over the court. Kelly Campbell had some strong, timely back court hits, and Hannah Dawson earned her share of points from serving. All four of these girls made some very impressive blocks against some very tall players, and each girl was able to walk away feeling they played their personal best.

The semi final game was a bit of a disappointment as Redd Mudd had to play The Citadins from Quebec for a second time. Definitely a strong team, Redd Mudd went down with style, never giving up, always going for the dig, smiling and showing a positive attitude, fighting for every point available. The stronger team won, and Red Mudd congratulated them with heads held high. Tier 2 Semi-finals. . . not too shabby! All 10 girls saw plenty of play time. Other team members include Alyson Smythe, Ellen Chapman, Danielle MacLeod, Taylor Walsh, Jennifer Aubé, and Megan Llewellyn.

 

16U Charlottetown Colonels compete at Canada East Open!

It was the Colonels first time attending the nationals and we took a team of eight players.

Friday began with a tough draw and the girls were a bit overwhelmed by the Agrena atmosphere. We lost all three matches but we were close and all three teams went on to be a top ten team, a winner of tier 2 (which we took to a third game) and a winner of tier 3. We never felt overmatched but our weaknesses (serve receive, defense, speed) made the difference. It was very obvious to the girls where our improvements need to be made.

On Saturday we won all our matches and the girls were very excited about that. Sunday's early match placed us against a smaller Quebec team (we lost 3 of all 4 matches to Quebec teams) who beat us on excellent serving and very fast defense. The girls were disappointed but we had a good team lunch and headed back to watch the final game of Tier 1. Amazing volleyball, and a great way to end the weekend.

Most valuable players for the tournament were Maiqi Li for her hitting and Lauryn Austin for her setting/serving. A great upcoming player is 13 yr old Kiera Rigby who held her own against older players (what an athlete!) All players played a great deal and all came away with a greater determination to improve their skills.

West Prince Islanders at 16U Eastern Canadian Volleyball Championships

The West Prince Islanders 16U boys team capped off a great spring season by attending the Eastern Canadian Championships in Moncton May 8-10. A total of 116 boys and girls teams from Ontario to Newfoundland participated over the 3 days in 5 different division. Sixteen teams competed for the 16U boys championship. On day 1, the Islanders played 3 matches, finishing the day with 1 win and 2 losses. They started off against the much taller Ottawa Kangaroos and played very well in game 1, losing 25-23, before losing game 2 by a score of 25-10. They rebounded after this loss with a great match against Impulsifs from La Malbaie, Quebec losing 18-25 and 24-26. In their final match of the day, the defeated valley waves from Wolfville, NS 2-1 (25-14, 18-25, 15-9). The days record put them into tier 2 form the second day of competition.

Day two was a highlight for the West Prince, as they played exceptionally well, winning all 3 of their matches. They defeated the Valley Skyhawks from Auburn, NS 2-0 (25-22, 25-14), Gravitron from Moncton, NB 2-0 (25-17, 25-12) and finished with an exciting victory over the Cyclones from Lachenaie, Quebec 2-0, (25-22, 25-21). This match was the last to finished and players didn’t get off the court until 10:30 at night. This was to catch up with the Islanders in the playoffs the next day.

After a short night, the Islanders started off well, dominating their quarter final match against the Dartmouth Lakers from NS 25-7, 25-5. This put them into the semifinals against the Sackville (NS) Sonics. “ You could tell right from the start that the kids had nothing left in the tank”, said coach Peter Bolo. The first game was close with the Islanders having a 24-22 lead before giving up 4 straight points and losing the match 24-26 in game 2, the Islanders could not get anything going and lost 17-25. Sackville went on to win the final against the Castors from Fredericton, NB.

All in all, it was a great weekend for the Islanders. They were one of the shortest teams but had terrific skill and “played big”. They finished with a record of 5 wins - 3 losses and all players had a great time and improved greatly as volleyball players. This will certainly help the Westisle Composite High team next year as they look to defend their PEISAA Provincial Championship.
