McRoberts Strikers take momentum into this week’s Lower Mainland AAA Championships thanks to a thrilling victory in the Richmond Senior Girls Volleyball League playoffs.
The Strikers defended their title with a 3-0 home court win over the McMath Wildcats in last Friday’s championship match. The sweep featured McRoberts roaring back from a seven point deficit in the third set to win 25-23.
Earlier, the Strikers went 10-0 in league play and reached the final with playoff wins over Steveston-London (3-0) and Hugh Boyd (3-0).
Coaches Trish Nicholson and Briana Adams are hoping home court advantage at the Mainlands will help secure a berth in the upcoming AAA provincials in Parksville, hosted by Ballenas secondary school.
The team includes: Caitlyn Lam (middle), Candace Darling (setter), Coleen Galang (power), Emily Yee (libero), Jaida Muhammad (middle), Karol Patriarca (power), Melissa Zayas (middle), Mikaela Cadorette (middle), Priya Hothi (right side).
