In the semi-finals D-Tox
played a close match against the 3rd
seeded team from the opposite pool. D-Tox
won the match 8-6 to move onto the
semi-finals. Here they faced a high-energy
high school team from Toronto. This
talented team of youngsters proved to be too
much for D-Tox as they dropped the match
9-6. |
The only
two matched that D-Tox lost on the day were to the two
teams that faced off in the finals. Melissa Berry was
the most valuable player of the tournament for D-Tox. |
