Team AB Gold and Silver at Arctic Games

Grande Prairie, AB - For the second consecutive Arctic Games, the Team Alberta Men's and Women's Volleyball Teams finished first and second respectively after the week long international competition.

The men opened the tournament with a 25-18, 25-17 victory over Greenland and never looked back, finishing the round robin undefeated, before beating Team Northwest Territories 2 sets to 0 in the semi-final and Team Yukon 2 sets to 0 in the final.

The women finished off the round robin play with a 4-1 record after losing to Team Alaska in straight sets.  After a decisive 25-19, 25-11 victory over Team Nunavut in the semi-final, they faced Team Alaska again in the final.  After losing the first set 25-14, Team AB responded with a 25-14 win in the second but could not maintain the momentum and lost the third 15-9.

Alberta Volleyball would like to congratulate all members of Team Alberta North for another strong showing at the 2010 Arctic Winter Games!
