In what was the graduating senior night, three Warriors were honoured by their coaching staff prior to the game for their dedication to the Waterloo women's volleyball program.
Kristen Sheffield (North Bay/),
Alice Li (Toronto/), and
Rachel Runnels (Ottawa/) each played in their final game donning the black and gold and helped lead their team to victory.
Outside hitter Sheffield tallied nine kills on 20 attempts while adding two digs and two blocks. Libero
Alice Li (Toronto/) was outstanding for Waterloo in her final game with a team high 15 digs while
Rachel Runnels (Ottawa/) had 28 assists in the setter position.
Leading the offensive charge was
Clara Tse (Hong Kong/) who had 13 kills while
Roselyn Zhang (Toronto/) put away 11. Tse and Zhang also had strong defensive games with 14 and 9 digs respectively.
For Windsor it was Kaila Seguin (Windsor) who led all players with 16 points on her 14 kills and three blocks. Shannon Dean (Whitby) also had a strong game with 11 kills for the Lancers.
The young Warriors finished the season 4-14 but their record is not indicative of their talent and potential as the future looks bright for Waterloo.
Concluding remarks by coach Gaby Jobst: "In our last few weeks of play, I certainly saw the team come together in ways we hadn't in the first part of our season. I'm very happy for our seniors that we could cap off their year with a win on home court and I'm looking forward to building on the team chemistry we've created with this remaining young crew for the 2013-14 OUA run. We have a lot of potential and with the added year of experience, we'll certainly come out a more confident and refined team."
