MONTREAL, Que. - Attending the Montreal Cup, the Durham College women's volleyball split their opening day by falling in straight sets to the Andre-Laurendau Boomerang, before topping the Lionel-Groulx Nordiques in an exciting five-set contest.

A pair of first-year Lords earned player of the match honours in the two contests as incoming outside hitter Haley Bickell (Winnipeg, Man.) impressed in Game 1 of the day, while fellow out-of-province rookie Tiana Cowper (Calgary Alta.) earned the honour in Game 2.
