15 Red wins Mizuno Winterfest

Way to go 15 Red!

 This weekend at the Mizuno New England Winterfest the Downstate 15 Red team took the open championship in amazing fashion.  The team went 9-1 in matches on the weekend including winning every playoff match in straight sets!  The team really came together this weekend and amazed everyone with a complete team effort.  If you watched them play in the gold division playoffs you might have thought this team had been playing together a full season with the intensity and passion they had.  After an undefeated day in pool play on day one the team managed to go 2-1 on day two with one tough 3 set loss.  In the playoffs the team defeated 3 GEVA teams and Lakeside from the Albany area on their way to the championship.  The most exciting match of the weekend was probably the semi-final match against the Lakeside Gators where the team came back from 24-20 to win the match 26-24 and then the second set 25-22.  In the finals the team dominated Apex 15 Matrix 25-14 25-18 to take the championship. The team played together and won this championship because of it.  

      With our focus on serving and serve receive the team kept their serving percentage at 87% for the entire weekend with 83 aces in 22 sets.  Kelly Gallagher, Grace McKenney, Brianna Garnot, and Tinli Yarrington led the way serving. All three served better then 90% with a combined 56 aces!  Courtney Brown led the offense with 38 kills with a hitting average of .318.  Also, Grace McKenney had 92 assists to go with her 6 kills.  Our defense was led by libero Olivia Gibson who had 77 digs on the weekend.  Our defensive specialists Caitlyn Chu, Sam Caputo, and Maggie Miles made key defensive plays and helped out serving in our playoff run.  Morgan Loh led the team with 9 blocks.  Kamilla Tatka was an absolute monster on the right side in the championship match with 2 kills that were hit so hard they made everyone watching erupt in cheers each time.  
      In the end the team left the Hartford Winterfest Tournament with excited parents, proud coaches, and medals around their necks.  The future looks very bright for a great group of girls who seem to have already learned one of the hardest things to coach....how to play as a TEAM! 15 Red keep that SWAG.
