The tournament was a big success! We raised over $250 dollars for the Penn State Dance Marathon! The THON team performed well playing in Group B. Gabby's Explorers finished with a 1-1 record in group play and had to play a tiebreaker game against a team that defeated them earlier in the event. With the stellar play of Blane throughout the tournament for the THON team, we successfully won and made it to the final four where the top two teams from each of the two groups faced off for the title of tournament champion.
In a good effort from the THON team, Gabby's Explorers, their semifinals match finished in a lost with Blane as the last player getting eliminated from the event.
Overall the THON team finished tied for 3rd place in the tournament of 9 teams after finishing in first place last year. The team that won the event was led by a player from last years winning THON team, U DA defeated the Shooting Blanks 2 to 1 in the tournament finals. Coming back from a match one lost to win the last two matches. Congrats goes to team U DA for winning the tournament!
