The varsity boys and girls volleyball teams for Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) are hitting their stride at the perfect time, just a few weeks ahead of Provincials.

The girls varsity squad hosted a mini-tournament on Thursday, Nov. 5. The Tigers, along with the Minnedosa Chancellors, MacGregor Mustangs and Carberry Cougars took part in the event.

The first game of the afternoon involved NACI facing Minnedosa. It was a closely contested affair, but the Tigers were able to hold off the Chancellors, on the way to a three set sweep, 27-25, 25-17, 15-7. 

The other semi-final matchup featured Carberry defeating MacGregor in two straight sets 25-11, 25-19.  

That victory set up a showdown between Carberry and Neepawa to see just who would end up being the “AA” regional representative at the provincial qualifiers later this month. The Neepawa Tigers would come out on top of this contest, by a score of 25-18, 25-14.

The boys side also took to the court on Thursday night for a game against the MacGregor Mustangs. Once again, it was the Tigers who ended the afternoon on top, winning in two sets 25-17, 25-16.
