APPLE VALLEY TOURNAMENT
3rd Place game
Lord Selkirk 2, Marshall 0

Two teams from outside the metro area decided 3rd place and it was the Canadian team coming away with the victory.

The first game was the make or break game. Selkirk held a lead at 6-4 but Marshall came back on Anna Beekman's serve to lead 8-7. Hope Weilage had two kills on a quick and an overpass to take the lead. The game was tied often the last time at 13-13 before Marshall took command. On Macie Michelson's serve Marshall bumped their lead to 16-13. Selkirk had to take a time out to stop the run and Megan Cyr, the setter did it on a dump. Marshall kept the margin at 3/4 as Beekman served up point 20 on a Selkirk hitting error. It was 20-16 Marshall at this point. That is when the floor gave way. A side out kill by Victoria Ryshytylo gave the ball back to Selkirk. Tiffany Sumka, the libero, then served up six straight. She opened with an ace. The Selkirk block game came up with two points. Sumka had another ace and two kills later it was 23-20 Selkirk. Marshall's second time out at 23-20 (the first at 20-19 didn't get a side out) stopped the damage as their go to hitter Beekman put one down. But Amy Leschied of Selkirk ended the first game with two kills.

Selkirk led throughout the second game. Selkirk got four points off Cyr's and Sawatzky's serves to build a 14-5 lead. Marshall burned their second time out and as with their first time out they came out with a side out, but the hole was too deep. Both teams finished 11-11 after the time out. Beekman again led the Marshall charge late with six kills.

Marshall's 4th rotation had problems siding out. Both teams were not stellar in the sideout game. It was a game of runs. Lord Selkirk had more larger runs.

For those of you wondering where Lord Selkirk is located it is in Manitoba, Northeast of Winnipeg. Here is their district webpage if you are curious. This is the HS site. Selkirk's team is primarily made up of juniors (2008).
