2001 Tourney Recap

This years tourney featured 3 competitive finals. We had 2 final rematches, in Div. II and IV. 

Division I

Cincinnati St Ursula Academy over Cincinnati Ursuline Academy 15-12,10-15,15-11

Coach Perry is the best. 7 finals 7 titles. The division I title was a little harder  than any of the 6 division II titles for Cin. St. Ursula Academy, her team actually lost a few games. They only have one senior on her roster and that is bad news for Division I teams in 2002. Can you say 8. Need a kill? Set Beth Gillming, this soph MB is a total stud.

Division II

St Bernard Roger Bacon  over Galion 15-8,15-5

Roger Bacon finally broke through with a dominating victory over 2 time defending  champ Galion. Emily Withers set a wonderful match and should lead this Junior dominated team back to States in 2002.

Division III

Cleveland Villa Angela-St Joseph over Zoarville Tuscarawas Valley 6-15,15-4,15-13

The cardiac kids from Cleveland are back.  VASJ staged 2 of the biggest comebacks witnessed at the State Tournament. They lost game 1 of their semifinal to Huron 15-13 after trailing at one point 11-1. Down 13-8 in the second, they turned it on to win 16-14. A stunned Huron squad collapsed to a 15-6 third game. Game 3 in the final and down 12-6 to Tuscarawas Valley.  They roll back to take the game 15-13

Division IV

Bascom Hopewell-Loudon over Centerburg 16-14,2-15,15-11

Hopewell Louden won their 5th straight with a rematch of Centerburg. While HL won this match, the verdict was still in doubt until the last 4 points.  Centerburg put a 15-2 shiner on HL in the 2nd game, the last time that happened was in 1997.
