Tuesday Oct. 9, University College's building 44 battled building 40 to see who would be crowned champions of the University College Volleyball Association. As building 44 prevailed as the winners, it was competitive on both sides of the net.

From start to finish, it was a tense and emotional game. Freshman Melba Owens said "It's a very nice and enjoyable game, it was very interesting." DJ Merk and the University College Cheerleaders managed to keep the crowd engaged in between games.

The first two matches, building 40 swept 44 in two games, 15-11 and 15-7. Since 44 went undefeated throughout the regular season, they were eligible for winning the championship. As the second game got underway, 44 caught a surge and let it resonate from the beginning to the end. 44 returned the favor to 40 by sweeping them 2-0, 25-23 and 25-18.

Members of the University College staff came to support and help facilitate the tournament, as Ms. James and Ms. Harrison made sure that the time and score was kept accordingly. "For the first year, it was a great tournament," said UCVA coordinator and building 35 LCC Leona Aaron. "Some ladies complained, and some ladies brought it, but each team had great players. Kendria Boston from building 39, Brittany Williams from 40, and Bianca Chambers from 44 just to name a few."
