Women’s Volleyball: Durham defeated Loyalist 3-1 (21-25, 25-20, 25-22, 25-19)
Oshawa, Ont. – The Durham Lords women’s volleyball team was able to knock off the previously undefeated Loyalist Lancers 3-1 in OCAA league play Thursday night at the CRWC. For the Lords, it was their third straight OCAA conference win and second straight impressive performance at home as they won in four sets with scores of 21-25, 25-20, 25-22, 25-19.
Team captain Mandi Doris (Ajax, Ont.) became the first player in Durham College history to record 100 blocks in a career. With four blocks in the game, Doris now has 101 in her time with the green and gold, as she sits alone as the all-time leading blocker. She is also climbing the provincial charts, as she sits nine blocks behind a Carlena VanDriel (Redeemer) and Kimmy McCarthy (Mohawk) who are tied for fourth place in OCAA career blocks. Doris had 11 points in the win against the Lancers.
Kristen Conner (Oshawa, Ont.) had a huge night for the Lords leading the team offensively. Conner racked up season high 23 points on the night with 21 kills. Amanda Falzon (Whitby, Ont.) also chipped in with 12 points in the win.
The defensive star for the Lords was Melissa Reinhardt (Port Perry, Ont.) who tallied 16 digs on the night. Reinhardt has an outstanding 85 digs on the year and leads the OCAA in that category.
The three game winning streak now brings the Lords conference record to 3-4 and puts them right in the middle of the standings with plenty of time to make a push to the top of the charts. The Lancers suffered their first defeat of the season and will fall to 7-1.
The Lords will try to continue their streak when they host Fleming College in conference action at home next Tuesday, November 25 at 6 p.m. The Lords food drive will also continue as the women’s volleyball team looks to make a difference during the holiday season.
