Girls 4A
KELOWNA
The top-ranked Kelowna Owls have advanced to Saturday evening’s championship game.
In semifinal action at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Kelowna defeated No. 5 Handsworth of North Vancouver 3-0 (25-12, 25-20, 25-16).
The defending champion Owls will now face Lord Tweedsmuir of Surrey in the final at 6:30 p.m.
“We have had our ups and downs, we have definitely had our season of injury. I think resilience has been important. Being unconventional when we needed to be,” said KSS coach Kelly Hettinga.
“We moved players around on the floor when we have had injuries. The versatility within a few players just gives us lots of options to deal with that.”
In the other semifinal, which was also played at 11 a.m., No. 8 Lord Tweedsmuir upset No. 2 Lord Byng of Vancouver 3-1 (25-22, 19-25, 25-8, 25-19).
On Friday, KSS crushed Terry Fox of Port Coquitlam 3-0 (25-13, 25-15, 25-9) in the round of 16, then dispatched Mission 3-0 (25-23, 25-12, 25-20) in the round-of-eight quarter-finals.
On Thursday, KSS opened the tournament with three wins in round-robin action to take Pool A. The Owls beat Seaquam of Delta 2-0 (25-20, 25-22), North Peace of Fort St. John 2-0 (25-10, 25-18) and Claremont of Victoria 2-1 (25-21, 22-25, 17-15).
On Saturday at 11 a.m., Kelowna will face No. 5 Handsworth of North Vancouver, with the winner advancing the championship game at 6:30 p.m.
In the other semifinal, also at 11 a.m., No. 2 Lord Byng of Vancouver will play No. No. 8 Lord Tweedsmuir of Surrey.
In high school rankings three weeks before the provincial championships, Lord Tweedsmuir was ranked No. 1, with KSS ranked No. 2. Lord Byng was ranked No. 6.
