Carlo De Grandis was impactful on both sides of the ball in Conestoga's thrilling 37-33 OCAA quarter-final home victory over the Seneca Sting on Nov. 1. Scoring a pair of tries in the opening 17 minutes of play, the first-year flanker also made several big defensive stops for the Condors as they held onto the four-point victory. It marked the first time in OCAA action that Carlo reached the try zone, doing it twice in such an important match. The Condors now move onto the OCAA semifinals for a meeting with the undefeated Durham Lords on the road this Saturday.
