Durham College Athletics

Darlene Cook (Anderson) was born in Oshawa in 1963 and she began a stellar 3 year collegiate career at Durham College in the fall of 1981.  Prior to graduating from Business Accounting she was named an OCAA All-Star; OCAA Top Pitcher and helped lead the Lords to two Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) Championships (’82 & ’84).  She was also named DC Women's Fastball Most Valuable Player in 1982-83. As one half of the dominating 1-2 Durham College pitching combo along side Laurie Thompson, she posted an amazing 16-3 career pitching record in the OCAA while at Durham.  The duo of Thompson and Anderson quite arguably was the most dominating pitching duo in OCAA history registering a combined 32 victories and 5 losses.  She was a fierce competitor on the diamond and topped off her dominating collegiate playing career by being named the OCAA Top Pitcher in 1984-85 (5-0) and capturing the Ontario Championship Gold Medal over Seneca College.  She was an integral part of the start of the Durham College Women’s Fastball dynasty of success in the OCAA and is very deserving of Hall of Fame status.
