2001 turned out to be the take-off of a fantastic streak: Boca won the Morgan Cup for four consecutive years ('99 to '02).
In 2003 Marcelo Gigante's juniors of the Club were crowned Metropolitan champions by trouncing Scholem Aleijmen by 3-0 (25-14, 25-18 y 25-18), while the Sub 21 team won the Men's Open.
The main objective was to be promoted to the A1 League, the elite category of Argentine volleyball. Boca fell to San Lorenzo in the semi-finals of the A2 Series in the 2003/04 season. But one year later (2004/05) Boca achieved its objective with the leadership of Marcelo Gigante. It fell to Neuquén's Gigantes del Sur by 3- 1 in the final of the A-2 . However, with a commendable strength of spirit and grit the team recovered from that defeat and won the qualifier series against Le Coq Hacoaj de Saladillo by 2-0 (winning both legs).
The celebration took place in the Bombonerita on March 13 of 2005 and the players who achieved the promotion in the second game were: Rodrigo Peres Lopes, Walter Borrero, Miguel Bonetti, Emiliano Sanz, Sebastián Garrocq, , Nicolás Barrela, Jonathan Maglier and Carlos Almeida.
Boca is now in the top category of Argentine volleyball, a distinction which it won't want to relinquish.
But volleyball is also a woman's thing
The ladies won numerous championships in the metropolitan district, of which those of 1991, 1995, 1997 y 1998 should be highlighted. Under the leadership of Alejandro Arcondada Boca became a protagonist on the local scene.
In 2003 Boca was crowned champion of the Metropolitan Women Volleyball League by beating River in the final by 3-1. Coached by Eduardo Allona, it wasn't too difficult for the girls to show that they deserved the title they had won. Georgina Pinedo and Karina Pacheco were Boca's great players. In the same years Boca's teenagers accomplished a feat: having been down by 0-2 they won the game against Vélez and took with them their category's title within the Metropolitan League.
In 2004, led by Karina Pacheco as the “primus inter pares” of the team, Boca won the Nélida Nigro Supercup after leaving behind Banco Nación, Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata – almost a derby for Boca- and River Plate. Finally, Boca lost the final match and the title of the Metropolitan League at the hands of Gimnasia La Plata. |
