[ Volleyball ] DRVC girls capture provincial gold
DURHAM — The Durham Region Volleyball Club’s 17U girls’ volleyball team captured the gold medal and the provincial title in Barrie. It was a weekend of great volleyball, excitement and lots of adrenaline and the DRVC girls were pumped and ready. After coming first in pool play, beat- ing the Stingers 29-27, 25-13, Attack Black 16U 25-13, 25-13, and the Stingrays 25-15, 16-25, 17-15, DRVC went on to win their first cross-over match against Pakmen 25-20, 25-21, setting the stage for Sunday. DRVC took the first match of the day against the Ottawa Capitals, the third seeded team, 25-20 and 25-22. Semifinals were nothing short of exciting and exhila- rating against the top-seeded team, the Scarborough Vipers. The Vipers put up a tremendous battle, but with DRVC’s un- wavering determination and skill, the DRVC girls were triumphant, 17-25, 25-20, 15-9. In the final, DRVC dominated and claimed the gold medal by conquering Attack Black and White, 18-25, 25-22 and 15-11. All of the DRVC 17U girls were out- standing in their efforts and determination the entire tournament. With coach Gerald Brunt at the helm, the victory represented DRVC 17U’s third gold medal this year.
