Tournament Takeaways highlight Week 7

<p>Another week is gone in the fall season. Who would have thought that we would be through seven weeks of the season. This past week has been highlighted by top performances, tournaments, and major conference matchups as the season winds down before postseason play. The postseason seedings were announced on Friday: did some teams allow there play to subside because of it. So let’s take a look some of the biggest takeaways from Week 7 of the season. </p> <p><em><strong>Bergen County Tourney Upsets</strong></em></p> <p>Talk about pandemonium in the Bergen County Tournament as there was two major upsets in the Bergen County Tournament. Bogota got their revenge in one of the matches of the season taking down Immaculate Heart in three-sets. After winning a hard-fought first set 25-22, Bogota dropped the second 16-25 before grinding out a 25-21 third set to secure the win, handing Immaculate Heart its first defeat of the season. [player_tooltip player_id="99875" first="Ashanna" last="Caviness"] recorded team highs of 20 kills and three blocks to lead Bogota. </p> <p>What happens next? Ridgewood upsets Bogota in three-sets in the semifinals. Do you believe it be a lack of energy coming off the high from the IHA win, possibly. But what a victory for Ridgewood. The Maroons edged out the third set 25-23 after winning the opening set 25-16. Bogota took the second set 25-16. [player_tooltip player_id="153435" first="Cammi" last="Quirk"] tallied 30 assists to lead the way. </p> <p><em><strong>Unbeaten Dominance</strong></em></p> <p>As for the rest of the teams in major tournaments that were unbeaten, it was a showcase on display. How bout the week Kent Place had as they won two trophies winning the Prep Tournament last Monday and then taking home the UCC crown in straight sets behind [player_tooltip player_id="99862" first="Sabrina" last="Skyers"] who had nine digs, six kills, four blocks and an assist. </p> <p>Next up is Williamstown, who improved to 28-0 on the season, winning in straight sets 25-16 and 25-21. Dajah Williams led the way with10 kills and six digs for Williamstown, while Julia Schwab added six kills and six digs. </p> <p>Hudson Catholic won their sixth consecutive Hudson County Tournament as they took out Union City in straight sets behind [player_tooltip player_id="152477" first="Kiannisha" last="Santiago"]. Trailing by nine in the second set, Santiago took control of the show to have eight kills in the final 18 points alone for the team. </p> <p>Lastly, we have Demarest who will most likely move into the top spot of the Power Rankings who advanced to the Bergen County Final easily. [player_tooltip player_id="128499" first="Olivia" last="Cammalleri"] was spectacular with her passing and defensive prowess to ensure the team from dropping their first set of the season. </p>
