OMAHA – After losing its first match of the tournament on Saturday, Nebraska Elite 16 Vici has rattled off five straight wins in 16 Open at the President’s Day Classic to put itself into a position to win the title.
Vici stands in a three-way tie atop Pool 2 in 16 Open with a 5-1 record along with Dynasty 16 Black and Six Pack VBC 16U. Each team has one match left to play on Monday morning, but Elite takes on winless JPVC while Six Pack takes on Ozark Juniors (4-2) and Dynasty faces Excel 16 National (3-3). The top two teams in each pool advance to the championship bracket later on Monday. Should all three teams tie with the same record, Elite 16 Vici should be in good standing with the best set record thus far.
Also in Pool 2, Nebraska Juniors 161 Black is 1-5, which is a little deceiving about the way it has played since four of the team’s five losses came in three sets.
In Pool 1, ASICS Mavs 161 have clinched a spot in the championship bracket with a 6-0 record while Northern Lights 161 sits in second place at 5-1 and CIA 16 Black is 4-2. Premier 16 Black is sitting in fourth place at 3-3 while VCNebraska 16 Elite is 2-4 and Club Legacy 16 ROX is 1-5.
