The SOIS Sabers high school girls varsity basketball team finished in 3rd place in the Association of International Schools in Asia (AISA) tournament held January 24-25, 2014, at Korea International School (KIS) in Seoul. The Sabers won both games on the first day of the tournament, putting them in the semifinals on day two. The Sabers lost to a talented Yokohama International School team, thus putting SOIS in the consolation game, where the Sabers handily defeated Seoul International School.
The Sabers played the tournament shorthanded, with only seven players, and were missing star power forward Rina Dybovskaya. This certainly limited the team's chances, but the remaining SOIS "magnificent seven" showed typical Sabers fighting spirit to capture 3rd place.
Senior veterans Hiroko Wanibuchi and Kana Asai were named to the AISA all-tournament team.
Congratulations to the Sabers girls basketball team on a fine tournament and season. Special thanks to head coach Munetaka Sagara and assistant coach Takako Hirai, both first-year high school basketball coaches, for leading the team so well throughout the season.
