Graduating Seniors Day sees Lords back in the win column

OSHAWA, ON - Earning their way back into the win column on a day to celebrate our graduating seniors, the Durham Lords women's volleyball team defeat the visiting Centennial Colts in a three sets.

The first set was a quick one with the Lords taking the frame by a 25-9 score. Cassidy Unrau (Port Coquitlam, BC) recorded five service aces in the opening set alone. Coming into the day, her season high for service aces in an entire match was four.

Durham would generate another mountain of a lead that would prove to be too difficult to overcome in the second set, leading by as much as 11 for much of the middle portion of the set. The Lords found themselves on another hot streak, going on an 8-0 run to win the set 25-8.

Centennial continued to battle hard into the third set, reaching double-digit points and proving they still had fight left in them. However, it would continue to be a favourable afternoon for the hosts as the Lords won the third set 25-14.

Jessica Joensen (Brooklin, ON) once again stood out with nine kills on 19 total attempts to go along with three service aces, two blocked shots and a dig.

Katie Stewart (Gananoque, ON) finished the afternoon with five kills on 10 attempts, pairs of service aces and assists, and three digs. Amanda Larsen (Toronto, ON) and Mia Hildebrandt (Winnipeg, MB) were also strong contributors with four and three kills, respectively.

Brooke Young (Chestermere, AB) accounted for the vast majority of Durham's assists, recording 22 for the match. Young was also the team leader in digs with five.

Durham was incredibly strong on serves, registering 13 aces led by the five from Unrau, along with three from Joensen and a pair from Stewart.

The Lords will finish the regular season on the road next week beginning with a trip to Canadore to play the Panthers on February 10th before rounding out the schedule at Georgian on February 11th.
