Their Championship debut came with challenges, but resilience showed. A gritty 3-set pre-quarter win was followed by a quarterfinal loss. When it counted, the girls stepped up to finish **5th** and remain in Championship. 🔥
🔹 **15 Nimcha (Championship)**
Also new to Championship, Nimcha cruised through the pre-quarters before a tight quarterfinal loss. A hard-fought 5/7 match pushed opponents to the limit, but ended the day **7th**. 👏
🔹 **15 Silaha (Trillium White)**
Another pre-quarter appearance on the day saw Silaha battle through three sets. A strong win in their next match followed, but the team dropped the last match to place 7th on the day with hopes of staying up in Trillium White for the Bugarski Cup.
