Silver Division Champions!   Final record 14-4! 
GREAT TOURNAMENT!

Results for all teams can be seen here. 

We share our Secret Easter presents on Sunday evening.  Then, some of us we went out to eat together! 
 

The Gaylor Hotel was amazing!  And, yes, that's the Potomac River behind us.  Wow! 
 

After we played "Whose Line Is It Anyway," 5 of the girls thought up their own skit: 
Coach Houser (Hannah) & Coach Easter (Michelle) & Caroline (Kayla sitting) telling the girls how to play volleyball.

 

When you put on your pink at the tournament, pause a moment to acknowledge that Dig Pink is not about a color. It is about a mission to unite the volleyball community in helping to advance treatments for breast cancer, and it is to honor someone's mother, grandmother, wife and friend.     Remember, the second day of the event is the DIG PINK DAY!

 

The outside of our playing site is...... incredible!
