Columbia 14-Black started the 2016 season off on Saturday at CEVA Power League. By one of those quirks in Power League scheduling, the 29th seeded 14-Black ladies wouldn't face a single opponent from outside the top 27 all day. With an additional handicap of not being able to play a Libero, the 14's still played tough and fell just short of pulling off an upset or two. 14-Black remains in #29 (of 137 teams overall.)
Scores: lost 13-25, 15-25 to Excel 14-1 Rox; lost 25-19, 19-25, 15-17 to NPJ 14-1 National; lost 20-25, 15-25 to PVC 14-2 Green; lost 10-25, 17-25 to YVBA 14-1 Black
