Lakeland hosted the event so they were automatically in the tournament, and seated in # 6th. They played their hearts out and caused 2 upsets against HC Hawks, and the EM Lynx to make it to the gold metal game. The home town crowd came out to support by the hundreds. The energy level from the crowd was unparallelled to any other college event we have attended.
Macie was such a great fan, as she stayed late for most of the games and was very pleasant.

The Gold medal game was played on Saturday night, before a packed gym. Standing room only, the place was jammed. Our girls started out keeping up with the #1 ranked team, Fraser Valley Cascades, but fell short in 3 straight sets. This marks 5 golds in the past 6 years for the Cascades. We were very proud of our Rustlers. SILVER!!!!
