OSHAWA, Ont. - For their final home game of the season, the Durham Lords men's volleyball team hoped for a different result, but despite a solid showing, the Lords fell in straight sets to Seneca.
Prior to the start of the match, the Lords honoured five graduating seniors:
Aaron Banga (Oshawa, Ont.),
Kyle Watt (Oshawa, Ont.),
Dalton Halligan (Cobourg, Ont.),
Lucas Pichl (Cobourg, Ont.) and
Kyler Woodburne (Bowmanville, Ont.).
On the stat sheet, the Lords ran into trouble from the service line, committing 10 service errors. These struggles weren't aided by the visitors' outstanding defensive effort, outnumbering the Lords in digs, 37 to 25. Despite these inefficiencies, Durham never once appeared to have conceded, fighting until the final lost point.
The Lords look to finish the season on a high note Sunday afternoon in Peterborough against the Fleming Knights. First serve for the season finale is scheduled for 3 p.m.
