The Sydenham Golden Eagles senior girls volleyball is off to Streetsville (Mississauga) March 5-7 for the AA provincial championship following their EOSSAA championship last week in Brockville.
The KASSAA champs went into the EOSSAA championship as the No. 1 seed following an undefeated season in the KASSAA loop.
“Sometimes being the top seed isn’t the best thing,” said head coach Bryan English. “But it worked out for us as we went 2-0 in pool play beating Gananoque and Carleton Place in 2-straight each.
“We followed that by beating Fellowes High School of Pembroke in the semis 2-straight.”
Sydenham then met Carleton Place in the final and it was touch and go in the early play.
“They were up 16-14 at one point,” English said. “But then we came back.
“The second game was our best of the year. We won that one 25-11 and got everybody into the game.”
The Golden Eagles are led by striker Robin Melnick, Grace Finucan and setter Jocelyn Miles.
