Columbia 17-Black rolled through much of the field in the Stars & Spikes tournament on Sunday. The Columbia ladies had only a few brief challenges enroute to an undefeated arrival in the Tournament Championship match. That championship match turned out to be a battle that swayed back and forth before Columbia's flagship team fell just short in the tie-breaker. The final was an all U-17 affair, and we're sure the Columbia ladies will have the opportunity to avenge the loss before the season is over. Their performance, final loss and all, was good enough to once again push the Columbia ladies back to 1st place in the AES Evergreen Region U-17 standings. Congratulations ladies!
