NIPISSING 3, CONESTOGA 0

NORTH BAY, Ont. – The Nipissing Lakers women's volleyball team improved to 14-3 on the season with a 3-0 (25-12, 25-7, 25-13) sweep of the visiting Conestoga Condors (5-12).
 
This was the last OCAA match the Lakers will play in the RJS Student Athletics Centre as the volleyball team will be making its OUA debut in the fall of 2013.
 
Prior to the match, the Lakers honoured their four graduating players presenting commemorative plaques to Jacquie Dyball, Rebecca Ramsay, Stephanie Tiegs and Tressa Vancoillie who will all be moving on next season.
 
As far as the game was concerned the Lakers started off slowly but were able to distance themselves from the Condors with solid serving and efficient free ball conversions. The Lakers control the match the entire way and rookie middle player Briar Fleming did a nice job of replacing Brittany MacComish who was taken out for precautionary reasons after being hit by teammate's errant serve.
 
Brittany Ardron and Dyball led the Lakers offence with eight points apiece while Lauren Breadner  and Fleming each added five points.
 
The Lakers will look to finish the season on a winning note Tuesday as they face their cross campus rivals the Canadore Panthers (0-16) in the final installment of the Battle of the Bay. Game time is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. in the Education Centre Gym.
