This acronym for “winners” can best describe the promising new 2007 Columbia TYPHOON team. With a tournament season starting off with 8 consecutive losses, the Typhoon used this experience to enable them rather than cripple them. This group of determined girls showed up the following week for practices with their game faces on, and ready to be directed by Head Coach Jerry Hulla and assistant coaches Allison Cappelaere and Jennifer Feldman.

Watching the intensity of the practices, and actually seeing the girls absorb and develop many necessary skills ,anyone observing them could conclude the next tournament would generate improved results for this team.

We were not disappointed! Parents rallied early Sunday morning to inspire good spirits among the girls, and secretly crossed their fingers hoping the team would bring home a win or two just to keep the girls encouraged through out the week. Match 1 against the Washington Metro Blue proved that their hard work during practice was yielding results. With eager and powerful front line hitters like Camille Freeman, Sarah Hall, Morgan Jackson, Jenahye Johnson, Shannon Kennerly, and Chelsea Toback, the TYPHOON boldly announced……THIS GAME IS ON!

Strong serves penetrated the domain of our opponents, and the sound of “Whoooooaaa ACE!! WOOP!! WOOP!!” being proclaimed by the TYPHOON became a regular chant during the day and eventually worked it’s way to the mouths of many supporting parents as well. Most of these forceful and well-placed serves came from the commanding backhands of Megan Frey, and Caitlyn Wachtman. Anticipation erupted from on-looking parents as these silent but deadly ball deliverers entered into the serving position.

Expectations of some of our defensive specialist were exceeded this day, as Bethany Burke, Jasmyne Cummings, Christina Snyder, and Hannah Yoon dug deep though out the day letting any of our challengers know a victory for them would not come easily from the TYPHOON. On bended knees, and dive-like stances these girls proved some of the best players might not always be standing up right!
