The BISB Senior Volleyball and Basketball teams travelled to Lausanne, Switzerland on November 13th to compete in the annual Nord Anglia Tournament. Our teams survived the 14hr bus ride on Thursday got a good night sleep once there and where ready for Volleyball action on Friday. Our Girls team battled hard, but due to too many errors they just came up short in all their matches. The Boys team on the other hand faired a little bitter winning their second beautifully and then loosing in two heartbreaks with a score differential of less than three. On Saturday the day of the basketball tourney the tide changed for BISB, our Girls team stormed through their games to finish 2nd overall in the basketball with key scoring contributors being Nicole Majska, Barbora Stryckova and Emma Kristofovicova. The Boys played with a lot of heart and determination. They played great defence and showed good ability to move the ball down the court, unfortunately they were lacking in scoring ability and team structure mostly due to the relatively small amount of time they have been able to train together. They tied one game and came up short in the rest. Key scoring contributors were Branislav Hrivnak, Antoine Louis, Jason Wang and Dmytro Sosnovsky. Overall BISB had a lot of fun and the trip really built some team spirit.
