PVA 18s Bid & Regionals Report


PVA 18s competed in the KRVA Bid Tournament on May 2nd & 3rd in Williamsport, PA. Despite some tough matches, the team was able to reach the semi-finals in the Gold bracket by winning an exciting quarter-final match over Synergy LV 18s. When the team ran out of subs at the end of game 2, DS/Setter Justine McNulty, at 5'4", stayed in the rotation and came in to play middle in the front row - and saved the win for PVA!


The PVA 18s participated in the KRVA Open Regional Championships on May 9th at Penn State University. Despite missing 2 players, they swept their pool and then lost a tough match against Valley Forge in the semi-finals to finish tied for 3rd overall.


The 18s will finish their 2009 season (and club volleyball careers) at the Happy Volley Championships over Memorial Day weekend in State College, PA.


Go PVA 18s!

PVA 17s Bid Report




PVA 17s competed in the KRVA Bid Tournament on May 2nd & 3rd in Williamsport, PA. The team went "all out" for the PVA Social and certainly out-dressed the rest of us (see photo)! In the gym, they had some great matches and beat CAVA and Xceleration very convincingly. Unfortunately, they had a tough loss in a close match against Valley Forge in the quarter-finals.


The 17s compete this weekend in Greensboro, NC in the MAPL #4 and then play over Memorial Day weekend in the Happy Volley Championships in State College, PA.


The 17s will complete their season with a trip to Louisville, KY the end of June to compete in the JVDA Championships.

Go PVA 17s!

PVA 15 Navy Bid & Regionals Report


PVA 15 Navy competed in the KRVA Bid Tournament on May 2nd & 3rd in Williamsport, PA. The weekend got a rocky start, most likely due to a new rotation because of injuries, but Sunday ended on a high note. "The girls really came together as a team and played awesome," reports Coach Kara. "I was so proud of them for rising to the challenge and working hard." The team reached the semi-finals of the Silver bracket and finished tied for 9th overall in a tough field of teams.


PVA 15 Navy competed in the KRVA Open Regional Championships on May 10th at Penn State University with Assistant Coach Kim taking over the reigns. Despite challenges due to injuries, the team again battled into the semi-finals of the Silver bracket. PVA is proud of the girls for their effort and enthusiasm!


The team competes in their final event of the 2009 season at the Happy Volley Championships over Memorial Day weekend in State College, PA.

14s Bid Report


The PVA 14s team experienced their first KRVA Bid Tournament on May 2nd & 3rd in Williamsport, PA. The travel tournament was a fun and challenging experience, starting with an impromtu round of musical chairs during the PVA Social on Friday night. The 14s played in the "dome" along with the 17s & 18s, so it was fun to be able to watch the older girls play. The girls played a lot of volleyball and had some great moments! After 2 days of volleyball, they advanced to the semi-finals of the silver division and finished tied for 7th overall against a lot of strong competition. PVA is proud of the team's effort and enthusiasm! We especially liked what Coach Joann calls the "matrix move" they do together whenever they make a kill (see photo with this article).


The 14s play their last event of the 2009 season at the Happy Volley Championships over Memorial Day weekend in State College, PA.


Go PVA 14s!
