18 PURPLE QUALIFIES FOR BID TOURNAMENT, 14 BLACK FALLS JUST SHORT
It was another great weekend for Zero Gravity as we qualified another team for the 2013 OVR National Bid Tournament at the OVR National Bid Play-In Tournament. Zero Gravity is the smallest club in the OVR to qualify a team for the National Bid Tournament and is one of only 3 clubs in the OVR that qualified more than one team this year at the Bid Play-in Tournament.
For our 18's on Sunday the day started well with wins over Grandlake 18-1 and ALETA 18-1, but they followed that with a tough three game loss against Champaign County 17-1. ZG still won their net and advanced to the Gold Play-offs as the #4 seed. In the quarter-finals the kids had another tough match against CVA 17 Navy, but fought back after dropping game one to take the match in three games. This set up a battle with #2 seed Southwest 18-1 with a spot in the Bid Tournament on the line. Both games were tight, but ZG pulled away late in both and won to advance to the Gold Finals against Spirit 18-1. With a spot in the Bid Tournament already in hand our ladies dropped their final match to finish second. Team members included Adriana Farian, Mekenzie Prentiss, Emma Mathieson, Karlie DiRuzza, Julia Moskaluk, Emily Baznik, Madi McIntyre, Katie Emerson, Michaela Martin, and Makenzie Garman. Congratulations Ladies!!!!
We almost had all three of our teams that were entered in the OVR National Bid Play-In Tournament qualify, but Zero Gravity 14 Black fell just short in the Gold Play-offs on Saturday. The day started great with wins over TVC and Advancement Academy. In their third match our ladies dropped game one but fought back to knock off #1 seed Ignite 14-1 in a great match to earn the #1 seed in the Gold Play-offs. After that our ladies had the misfortune of having to wait for two play-in matches to finish and after the long three hour break dropped a heartbreaker in three games and missed out on a spot in the Bid Tournament by 3 points in the third game. Team members included Viktoria Farian, Amanda Shea, Abbie Swaino, Erika Woodard, Haley Akers, Jordan Kohut, Breanna Arnett, Makayla Sypherd, Kasey Williams, and Sidney Ailiff. Great tournament Ladies!!
Our 18's will be joining or 17's at the OVR National Bid Tournament at the Greater Columbus Convention Center on April 7th where they will attempt to qualify for the 2013 USAV Nationals in Dallas, Texas on June 28 thru July 5. Good Luck Ladies!!

ZERO GRAVITY 17 BLACK QUALIFIES FOR THE OVR NATIONAL BID TOURNAMENT
FINALLY!! It took four tournaments and an early morning loss, but our ladies finally decided to play like they know they can. 17 Black played well in their first match, but dropped 2 close games to #2 seed Southwest 17 Elite. This proved to be a wake up call for or 17's as they cruised thru the rest of their pool with wins over Advancement Academy 17-1 (25-17, 25-20) and TVC 17-1 (25-19, 25-17) to finish second on the net.
17 Black entered the Gold Play-offs as the next to last seed and were matched up against Glass City 17-1 in the quarter-finals. Playing their third match in a row our ladies quickly disposed of their opponent to advance to the semi-finals and a match up with #1 seed Northshore 17-1. The kids played hard, but playing in their fourth straight match proved to be too much and ZG ran out gas against the eventual Gold Champions. This set up a one game play-off with old friend Southwest 17 Elite for the last spot to be allocated for the OVR 17 National Bid Tournament in Columbus. This time Zero Gravity 17 Black was ready. Different match...different team...different outcome. Our ladies made quick work of Southwest (25-21) for their biggest win of the year (so far). Team members included Nikolette Scruggs, Kiley May, Becca Evans, Sylvia Beckner, Lindsie Thursby, Maddi Underwood, Madi Frericks, Danielle Dine, and Lindsey Chafe. Congratulations Ladies!!!!
With the win our 17's qualify for the OVR National Bid Tournament at the Greater Columbus Convention Center on April 6-7th where they will attempt to qualify for the 2013 USAV Nationals in Dallas, Texas on June 28 thru July 5. Good Luck Ladies!!

New Shutterfly Picture Site
Tracy Evans (Becca's mom) has set up a Shutterfly picture site for all of us to use and needs everyone to send her their email addresses so she can get everyone registered. You can either request to be added or she can add you to the site. Then, you can post pictures, videos and comments on your team's page. A picture site will be nice for everyone to share what they have with their team and the entire club. Please email Tracy if you have any questions.
