The Vision Volleyball U16 team added more hardware to their coffers with a silver medal finish at the U17 Bugarski Cup over the weekend in Barrie
The girls were playing in a higher age division tournament and the Vision team went undefeated in pool play.
They then defeated the North Bay U16 Lakers in the quarter finals 25-11 and 25-7, before advancing to the semis against the Barrie Acts Elite and defeating them 25-11, 25-23.
Vision then battled the top seeded Sudbury U17 Chill in the gold medal match, and fell in three sets 19-25, 25-22, 8-15.
This tournament caps off a very successful regular season for the team.
