UIUC VSA 2nd Annual Volleyball Tournament

We hosted our 2nd annual volleyball tournament this past March 13th, 2010. With seven teams and only two courts to play on, the event lasted from 1:30 to about 7:30 with a lot of close games! Needless to say, participants were sore the next day. I know for sure I was!

With teams cheering each other on, the buzzer going off between games, and the cut throat intensity when the games were close, the event was overall a wonderful and huge success.

A big thank you to the IVSU team for traveling from Chicago to participate in this event. All profits will be contributed to our CPP fund. =)
