ANCASTER, ON - It was a special evening in Ancaster as the Redeemer Royals women's volleyball team not only earned a dominant 3–0 victory over the Sheridan Bruins, but also played for a meaningful cause.

Redeemer controlled the match throughout, taking it in straight sets by scores of 25–13, 25–21, and 25–21.

Third-year setter Alana DeJong set the tone for the Royals with an outstanding all-around performance. She recorded 28 assists, 6 service aces, and 7 digs, running a balanced and efficient offense while applying pressure from the service line.

Offensively, the Royals were led by the duo of Joelle Lammers and Kate DeJong, who both turned in stellar efforts at the net. Lammers was nearly flawless, posting 7 kills on 0 errors for an impressive .538 hitting percentage, while also adding 1 ace and 3 blocks to lead Redeemer with 11.0 total points. Kate DeJong was equally effective, tallying 8 kills on 14 attempts with 3 errors for a strong .429 hitting percentage.

The Royals dominated the opening set 25–13 with strong serving and sharp execution, then held off late Sheridan pushes in the second and third sets to complete the sweep.
