The 15U Girls Chatham Ballhawks volleyball team captured a gold medal this past weekend at the McGregor Cup Trillium A OVA tournament in London.

The team was ranked #1 heading into the 12-team tournament.  The gold medal finish advances them to the Championship A division in February when they compete again.

Placing first in their pool, the Ballhawks did not lose a single set until the final match, where they defeated the Forest City Pines 20-25, 25-10, and 15-6, ending the day with an overall record of 10-1.  Coaches attributed the day’s success to “crisp passing, excellent teamwork, and high energy throughout the day – despite a more than 3 hour wait between pool play and playoffs.”
