LAURIER DOMINATES RMC, WHILE WATERLOO LOOKS STRONG AGAINST QUEEN'S
Laurier 3, RMC 0
The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks women's volleyball team defeated the winless RMC Paladins in three straight sets at the Athletics Complex.
The first set saw Laurier Head Coach Luke Snider put out his usual starters minus fifth year Danielle Walker who is out with a knee injury. The Golden Hawks dominated the Paladins, getting to the second timeout before RMC had even scored eight points. The final score of the set was 25-12.
For the second set the Golden Hawks rotated in several players to get some much needed game experience. RMC got out to a small lead early, but Laurier came back and took both the first and second timeouts. Outside hitter Teresa Wick continued to dominate at the net leading to a 25-15 score.
The final set was a quick one in which the Golden Hawks made short work of the Paladins 25-12.
Two Hawks were in double digits for kills with Lea Crampton and Teresa Wick getting 10 and 13 respectively. The leader in kills for the Paladins was Alexandria Daymond with seven
Waterloo 3, Queen's 1
Gaels women's volleyball player Elyssa Heller of Highland Park, Ill, USA, had 16 kills in 3-1 loss to Laurier on Sunday evening in Waterloo, Ont.
Queen's lost the match with scores of 25-13, 23-25, 25-18 and 25-22. Laurier's top point getter was Kaitlin Sauder of St. Jacobs, Ont., who recorded 22 kills while Kristi Town of Orillia, Ont. had 41 assists. Gaels Lorna Button of Newcastle, Ont. also broke into double digits in kills with 14. Ellen Gray of Toronto led the Gaels with 44 assists.
This game was originally to be played on Friday night, but due to severe winter weather in the Waterloo area it was postponed until Sunday night.
The loss puts the Gaels record at 5-12 and they are in a tie for fourth place of the OUA East with Ryerson at 10 points. Queen's will look to surge into a playoff position next weekend when they travel to Thunder Bay to match-up against Lakehead for two games. Lakehead currently has eight points and is in sixth position just two points behind the Gaels.
