OSHAWA, Ont. – The Durham College women's volleyball team defeated the visiting Loyalist Lancers in straight sets on Thursday evening in front of a supportive crowd at the Lords home opener at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Centre. Set scores were 25-8, 25-7, 25-8.
Durham held the Lancers to single-digit scoring in each of the three sets won, defeating the visitors in just over an hour. 13 different Lords saw the court in the victory, while DC dominated the service game with five players recording two or more service aces.
The night was made even more special by the results of the Durham Lords volleyball Think Pink fundraiser which saw the volleyball teams and those in attendance raise over $800 in support of a local family and their cancer treatment.
