BARRIE, Ont. - The Durham College women's basketball team defeated the Georgian Grizzlies in convincing fashion, 73-42 on the road in Barrie on Friday night.

The win is the seventh consecutive win for the green and gold, improving their record to 9-2 on the season. DC currently sits alone in second place in the OCAA east division, trailing behind only the 10-0 Algonquin Thunder. The win also marks the sixth straight win for the Lords over the Grizzlies with the last loss to the opponents from Barrie coming in February 2017. Durham holds a 38-5 all-time record over Georgian dating back to 1997.

The Lords defence once again impressed, holding the Grizzlies to just five points in the first quarter, while recording 21 steals in total to just six for Georgian. DC's offence was also clicking as they outscored Georgian in the paint, off the bench, and in second chance points.

Durham continues their three game road swing next week in a showdown with the St. Lawrence Vikings in Kingston on Wednesday, Jan. 29. Tip-off for the road contest is scheduled for 6 p.m. All the action can be streamed via OCAA LIVE.
