Steamboat, Hayden volleyball teams qualify for regional tournaments

Tom Skulski/Steamboat Pilot & Today
Volleyball season continues for the Sailors and Tigers who officially earned bids to their respective regional tournaments.
Each regional tournament is made up of 36 teams split into 12 brackets of three teams. The winner of each bracket punches its ticket to the state tournament.
Closing out the season winning eight of its last nine matches, Steamboat Springs earned its spot in the 4A regional tournament as the No. 18 seed, pinning the team against No. 7 Niwot and No. 30 Pueblo East at regionals.
Hayden finished the regular season on a 13-8 record, taking the No. 21 seed in the 2A regional and setting itself up to play No. 4 Fowler and No. 33 Cedaredge.
The host of each grouping is based on the team with the best ranking, meaning Steamboat will travel to Niwot and Hayden goes to Fowler for all regional matches on Saturday, Nov. 5.
