A week’s wait due to rain and poor field conditions was well worth it for team Buena Vibra.

With the youngest team in the tournament, which included 13-year-old Valentina Tarazona along with teammates Cory Wilkliams, Clara Cassino and Milly Hine they were the only team to go undefeated at 5-0 for the entire event.

After a back and forth game into the middle of the final chucker and trailing 11-10 Buena Vibra ran off three straight goals to go ahead for good and won the championship 13-11.

Milly Hine was the leading scorer and awarded MVP.

The losing team of 90210 was made up of Winnie Branscum, subbing for patron Sarah Siegel-Magness, Meghan Gracida, Catalina Lavinia and Mia Cambiaso.
