WINDSOR — The Konocti Bay club volleyball team”s age-16 squad played for pinks — as in pink T-shirts — March 8 during a tournament in Windsor.

Later during bracket play, Konocti Bay defeated Nomar Two 25-19, 25-2 and Riverwest Two 26-16, 25-17 to earn another shot against Nomar One in the championship round.
Poor passing led to Konocti Bay dropping the first game in the best-of-three championship match, but Konocti Bay began to pick up its play in game two, pulling out a 26-24 win.
In the third and deciding game, Konocti Bay rallied from a 14-11 deficit behind Casey Graham”s consistent serving, Chelsea DeJohn”s setting, and the outside hitting of Ashley Mueller and Skyler Olsen to win 17-15.
