Four members of the Comox Valley Field Hockey League travelled to Ross Rutledge Field in West Vancouver on April 27-29 to participate in the BC Regional Super Series Field Hockey Championships.
Taylor Ruest and Kassandra Sewell were named to the Vancouver Island Cats鈥� team and Marisa Benisky and Holly Phillips played on the Vancouver Island Lions鈥� team.
The teams played a three-game round robin during Friday and Saturday with playoffs and finals on Sunday. Benisky scored two goals for the VI Lions and Phillips scored once during the round robin portion of the tournament.
Vancouver Island, the reigning Super Series champions, were once again victorious. The Vancouver Island Cats defeated the NW Monstars 3-2 in an exciting final on Sunday afternoon.
The Super Series tournament brings together the top under-18 years of age players in the province. Scouts from a number of universities and provincial evaluators were in attendance for the three-day tournament. Prior to selection to the Super Series teams, players trained in Victoria and Duncan once a week for three months.
A CVFHL spokesman commented, 鈥淚t is a significant achievement for the girls to have been selected to participate at this very high level and they are to be congratulated for their achievement. We look forward to having more of our players selected to this prestigious program in future years.鈥�
