ANCASTER, ON – The Redeemer Royals women's volleyball team hosted the Sheridan Bruins on Saturday afternoon.
The Royals dawned pink jerseys for their annual Pink Night to raise awareness for breast cancer. The Fans and the Staff filled the gym with pink as well, making for a very cool atmosphere.
The first set of this match was pure domination by the Royals. They took it to the Bruins and didn't let up. Leah Lammers, Laryssa Schipper, and Avry Sabo were all forced to be reckoned with all afternoon, but specifically in the first set as the Royals took it 25-12.
The second set was much like the first. Redeemer controlled much of the set, cruising to another 25-12 win. Naomi Huygen subbed in during this set and some of the third, and made the most of it, putting up four kills for the Royals.
The third set was a much more tightly contested affair. The Bruins, with their backs against the wall, fought valiantly. The Bruins gave Redeemer as much as they could handle, but the Royals would win the set 25-22 and sweep the match 3-0.
Lammers' ten kills and four blocks were the highlight in this one, but Sabo's nine kills were almost just as impressive.
The Royals' next game will be on the road, when they take on the Humber Hawks on October 29.
