NEQ Results


In a long-overdue report, PVA reflects on the club's results at the NorthEast Qualifier held in Baltimore, MD April 10-12 and 17 -19. The above photo is off the 15 White team at the NEQ.


The younger teams played in the first weekend. The 14s had their first national qualifier experience and finished tied for 40th in the 14 club division. 15 Navy tied for 39th and 15 White tied for 53rd in the 15 club division. Many of the PVA players made the holiday weekend a family event and took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy time with their families in the gym and off the court.


The older teams played in the second weekend of competition. The 17s braved the open division and by the luck of the draw ended up in arguably the toughest first-day pool of the division. They hung in there and finished the weekend in 26th place.


The 18s teams had a great weekend and were one win short of earning a bid in the club division. They finished tied for 5th place.


The PVA teams all play next in the KRVA Bid Tournament in Williamsport this weekend, May 2 & 3.


GO PVA!

PVA 17s won 18-16 in the third game. The 17s then lost a tough Finals match to Slammers. The picture included with this post is of both teams after their semi-final match.
