Queens continue to roll, sweep Olds again

In the second half of the home-and-home series against the Olds College Broncos, the Red Deer College Queens Volleyball team looked to carry over their strong play from Friday evening. Saturday, the venue shifted to Olds College and the RDC Queens continued where they left off.

The Queens won the opening set 25-12.

In even more convincing fashion RDC took the second set 25-10.

Olds College had their largest push back in the third set, but it wasn't enough as the Queens won 25-18 to once again sweep the Broncos in back-to-back matches.

Queens Head Coach Chris Wandler was satisfied with another strong showing on the court.

"Our play tonight was solid once again. We continued the momentum that we established on Friday," said Wandler. "I thought we did a good job of picking up their speed and we adjusted nicely to their offence. Every student-athlete got some playing time in the match which is important moving forward. Things are moving in the right direction."
