Women's Volleyball Off to OCAA Championship

Windsor, ON- The St. Clair College women's volleyball team advanced to the OCAA Championship after a hard fought 3-0 win over a pesky La Cite Coyotes squad on Saturday afternoon at the Sportsplex.

Set scores for the Saints were 25-18, 25-23 and 25-17. The Coyotes played some incredible defense throughout the match to keep it tight.

The Coyotes finished in 6^th place in the OCAA East Division. The Saints also had to battle through losing starter Jordyn Pranger (London; Medway) who went down with a knee injury in the first set.

Rookie outside hitter Amelia Oliverio (Windsor; St. Joseph's) had a huge match for St. Clair with 9 kills on 23 attempts, 6 service aces and 5 digs.
