TRV 15 Elite continued its winning ways by placing 3rd in the first stop of the Tour of Texas Power League. The team had just come off a 1st place finish at the ATX College Showcase the weekend before. The Tour of Texas is the most prestigious tournament series in the state and combines the best 24 teams from the Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas areas. The tournament series is designed to give each team the highest competition level possible so that they will be prepared for the National Qualifier season. The team started the tournament by defeating nationally ranked #20 Skyline 15 RoShamBo in 2 but then lost 1416 in 3 to TAV VB Rags 15 Blue. The team rebounded to win 3rd place by defeating nationally ranked #13 Austin Jrs. 15 Mizuno in 2. We wish the girls good luck at the Tour Finals and during their National Qualifiers.
