The 17U Sundogs travelled to Regina for QCVC Elite’s 10 team home tournament on January 13th and 14th. 

The opening match against QCVC Elite ended in a 2-set win 25-18, 26-24. Their second match of day saw the Sundogs beating Oxbow 25-18, 25-17. The girls were ready to play Saturday morning and showed it in their win over Southeast Vipers Green 25-6, 25-13. 

The deciding match against the Westman from Brandon, MB for first place in the pool ended in a split 25-20, 23-25.  That was enough for the Sundogs to end up in 1st place in Pool A. The team went up against Moose Jaw’s Golden Tickets in the quarter finals and won 25-4, 25-16. With that win, the girls came up against Oxbow again. 

A similar outcome of 25-14, 25-19 saw the Sundogs heading to the final against the Regina Cougars.  A hard-fought battle with great digs, hits and blocks ended in a loss, 26-28, 17-25 to take home 2nd place.  

The Sundogs have a weekend off before heading to Warman for Saskcup #1 on January 28th and 29th.
