eight kills and two aces.
In the junior final the Cyclones had
a little easier time with the Colts,
winning 3-1 (25-19, 25-7, 23-25,
25-16).
"It was great to see all the teams
contribute," Kulon said. "Every team
participated in some way."

Mark Pretty told Sarniasports.com
after the hard fought battle.
"We are a young team. But the girls
came to play and they played hard."
The
coach credited Mariah Johnson and
Valerie Prowse during the fifth and
final match.
"It was a full team effort," he
said. "But those two really stepped
it up for us."
