This past March, the FEVA U14 team made quite the memories! Late in the month, they headed to Spokane for PNQ. Having played at PNQ for the first time last season, they had a much better idea of what they were going to face and came in ready to compete.
FEVA U14s swept their pool on Day 1 with #10 Malia and #7 Kate attacking cleanly and effectively, both hitting nearly 30% on the weekend. Day 2 brought a tougher pool, and FEVA U14s took 1st again, earning a huge victory in their last match over a tough Texas team in 3 sets.
On Day 3 in bracket play, FEVA faced a powerhouse California team that brought out their best volleyball. #5 Lisa, who had 11 blocks during the weekend, put up huge blocks in Sets 1 and 2, which gave FEVA U14s the edge in Set 3. #8 Abby and #2 Dee led the way offensively with 10 and 9 kills respectively and swung fearlessly all game long!
After this victory, FEVA U14s then fell to the team who went on to take 2nd in the tournament, which put them in a battle for 3rd place. FEVA U14s faced the tough Texas team again—a much harder match-up this time around. FEVA U14s lost the first set 26–28 but had the momentum, keeping their emotions in check, battling through the fatigue, and staying disciplined at the net and on defense.
#9 Ananya anchored the back row alongside #14 Reese, both of whom made incredible digs and highlight-reel saves to keep FEVA U14s in the game. FEVA won the match in three sets and secured 3rd place in their division!
#3 Marguerite led the way from the service line with a serving percentage of 98% and served 11 aces on the weekend. As a team, FEVA U14s served 94% from the line, which laid the foundation for victory.
The cherry on top of a phenomenal weekend for the team was receiving their medals from Coach Hammer. PNQ was truly unforgettable for FEVA U14s!
