BLUES IMPROVE TO A PERFECT 5-0
November 6, 2006
Toronto 3, Wilfrid Laurier 1
The Varsity Blues became the first team in the OUA to five wins (5-0) after a four-set victory over Wilfrid Laurier. Toronto would let no ball touch the court as three players recorded 20 or more digs in the match. Second-year left side Heather Bansley (Waterdown, Ontario) finished with 12 points and 21 digs while teammate and setter Anastasia Danilova (Toronto) totalled 14 points and 20 digs to go along with her 37 assists. Fourth-year Hawks libero Melissa St. Amant (Penetanguishene, Ontario) led all players with 24 digs.
Waterloo 3, Ottawa 2
The Warriors took control of their homecourt by winning the final two sets and upsetting the previously undefeated Ottawa Gee-Gees 3-2 (25-18, 23-25, 8-25, 25-23, 15-10). After Ottawa crushed Waterloo 25-8 in the third set to go ahead 2-1, many thought the game was over, however the Warriors played a consistent and clean final two sets to come out on top. While the Gee-Gees played superb on the defensive end, outdigging Waterloo 115-90 and making more blocks 11-5, the Warriors made fewer errors. With the win, Waterloo improves to 2-3 on the season, while the Gee-Gees drop to 4-1.
McMaster 3, Queen's 0
The Marauders improved to 4-0 with a straight-sets (25-20, 25-21, 25-19) win over Queen's. McMaster led in nearly every category, including digs (56-43), blocks (8-2) and assists (33-32). Third-year middle blocker from the Golden Gales, Victoria Gooday (Halifax) led all scorers with 12 points on 10 kills, a service ace and a block. The Marauders had two players with double-digit digs, fourth-year left side Carly Welch (14) and fifth-year libero Linda Zelek (Mississauga) (11).
