It was a tough opening pool for Columbia 16-Black at Nationals in Orlando yesterday. We're certain they'll be ready for action today! Follow all the scores here.
Columbia 14-Red struggled on the first day of the ERVA Regional Championships, failing to win a match. Day two was a different story however, as a determined group of young ladies never lost again. Their second day run to be Flight 2 Champions culminated in the final match against their own sister U-13 team (who hadn't lost since their first match of the tournament.) Congratulations on your victory ladies. Wear those medals with pride!
Twice during this tournament Columbia teams were only knocked out when they faced their sister Columbia teams.
