The 2025 ACSC tournament was a rollercoaster of emotions for the Dalat Varsity Girl’s Basketball team. After nearly 4 months of dedication and perseverance, the girls had made it through to the semi-finals against Faith. Despite falling short with a final score of 21-37, the team displayed unwavering determination until the very last second.
From the get-go, Faith had already come out strong, applying relentless pressure on Dalat’s defense. Despite the challenge, they held their ground, fought back, and caught up early in the game. Their defensive efforts and quick dribbles kept them in the game; however, Faith’s consistent shooting and fast-paced play caused a gap in the score. Even with the scores against them, our girl’s basketball team kept pushing forward.
One of the senior girls, Caitlyn Chan, reflected on the game, saying, “I felt overwhelmed with joy being able to end the season well and placing third in ACSC.” Placing third in the tournament was no small feat, and it was evidence of their team’s hard work throughout the season.
For Kiera Nichols, the game was especially hard. She said, “My last game as a senior for basketball was very emotional because it’s probably the last time I’m going to be playing for a long time. I’m gonna miss my team.” Her words captured the bittersweet moment of a closing chapter filled with friendships, growth, and unforgettable memories on the court.
Although the loss to Faith was rough on the team, the Dalat Varsity girls walked away from the tournament with their heads held high. A team filled with passion and commitment gave their all and secured a third-place finish making their school proud. Their journey throughout the season will not only be remembered for their victories, but for their perseverance and love for the game.
