OMAHA – Perhaps the most surprising performance of the day at the Asics President’s Day Classic belongs to Premier 16 Black, which was the only team from Nebraska to go undefeated in 16 Open pool play.
After sweeping both CIS 16M (30-28, 25-15) and VCNebraska 16 Elite (25-13, 25-19) to start the day, Premier 16 Black made it a perfect 3-0 by surviving a 27-25, 16-25, 15-13 thriller over Club Legacy 16 ROX.
Premier 16 Black now sits in a tie with Northern Lights 161 and Asics MAVS 161 for first place in Pool 1 of 16 Open with all three teams at 3-0. VCNebraska 16 Elite is 1-2 after it opened the tournament with a 21-25, 27-25, 17-15 win over Legacy 16 ROX. Legacy 16 ROX competed extremely well today and has improved tremendously over the past month, which is not indicative of its current 0-3 record.
In Pool 2, Nebraska Elite 16 Vici is tied for second place with a 2-1 record while Nebraska Juniors 161 went 1-2 on the day.
Elite 16 Vici couldn’t come all the way back against Six Pack 16U in its first match of the day, falling 25-23, 20-25, 15-10. Vici bounced back, however to sweep IPVA 16 Black 25-16, 25-12 and Ozark Juniors 25-13, 25-11.
After a couple three-set losses to Dynasty 16 Black and Six Pack 16U, Nebraska Juniors 161 Black got into the win column with a 25-22, 25-23 win over JPVC 16 Errea.
