Box Score SCARBOROUGH, Ont. – Allison Marshall (Orillia, Ont.) joined the OCAA women's volleyball 1,000-point club on Saturday in Durham College's 3-0 victory over the Centennial Colts.
Marshall only need eight points, but finished the match with 10 kills, an ace and a block for 12 points.
She now has 1,004 between her time with the Lords and Georgian Grizzlies. From 2012-15 she amassed 615 points with Georgian and as of Saturday has 389 points with Durham.
"This is a major accomplishment for Allison and we're proud of what she has done not only here at Durham, but the success she had on the court previously at Georgian," said Durham College athletic director
Ken Babcock. "To be an athlete with over 1,000 points is not something you see every day. We're proud of what she's been able to do here with the Lords and are looking forward to watching her finish her fifth year this February."
Helping Marshall defeat the Colts on Saturday was
Shannon Dean (Whitby, Ont.), who finished with 13 kills, four aces and two blocks for a 19-point day.
Brier Kaake (Whitby, Ont.) had a season-high 17 digs to lead Durham's defence, while
Megan Romain (Ajax, Ont.) ran the offence with 29 assists.
The Lords victory on Sunday not only gave them their berth to the OCAA championship, but also locked up the east region title for the second straight season. With Durham defeating Algonquin in both matches this year the Lords hold the tiebreaker, even if the Thunder were to catch them, which is mathematically possible.
Durham has three games remaining in conference play, their next being Thursday, Feb. 2 at home against the Loyalist Lancers. First serve is 6 p.m. at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Centre.
