The Douglas College Men’s

CCAA National Championships in
Nova Scotia on March 5 after sweeping,
undefeated, through the BCCAA semi-
final and final February 24 at Douglas
College. Both the Malaspina Mariners
and TWU Spartans went down without
winning a single game to a Douglas
College squad that included CCAA All
Canadian squad and BCCAA Ist team
All Conference member Ken
Kleindienst, James Sneddon and Cam
Secret. Douglas College Coach Brian
Boles was selected as a 2nd Team All
Conference member.

The Douglas College Women’s
Volleyball team went into the BCCAA
Championships on February 23&24
hoping to repeat last year’s first place
finish. They got off to a good start by
defeating the Camosun Chargers in
three straight games but their next

 

opponent, the first place and CCAA #3-
ranked Malaspina Mariners, handed the
squad a 3-0 loss of its own. The bronze
medal match pitted the Royals squad
against the OUC Lakers. While the
Royals won the opening game, the
Lakers came back to win three straight
and drop the Douglas College team to
fourth place.
