Columbia 17-Black finished 2nd in the EV National Bid Tournament, earning a 17 American bid to USAV Junior Nationals. Since they'd already earned a higher 17 USA bid, the team declined the American bid. The Columbia U-17 ladies then moved on to play in the EV U-18 Regional Championships. 17-Black played their way into the Gold Bracket of the 29 team field, but fell in the first bracket round (after an epic battle in their previous match) to finish 9th overall (2nd among U-17 teams.) Keep it up ladies!
