NORTH YORK, Ont. – The Durham College men's volleyball team will have to wait until at least next week for their second conference win after being swept by the Seneca Sting on Wednesday night.
A late attempt at a comeback in the first set came up short for the Lords, who were continuously coming from behind each set. Their second set was an improvement and a past the halfway point of the set a Lords run forced a Sting timeout, but Seneca eventually held on for a 25-20 win.
The Sting won the third 25-18 to take the match 3-0.
Next week the Lords will be in tough against the second-place Georgian Grizzlies. First serve in their road match in Barrie is slated for 8 p.m.
Away from the court, Durham College squad has accepted the Movember challenge and will be raising funds for men's mental health and prostate cancer research. To view their team page visit
