Hi Al

Durham Lords News Release

Special Night in September Planned for Record Setting DC Women's
Fastball


Oshawa (DC) - The Department of Athletics at Durham College &
UOIT is excited to announce that a special night will be held
this fall to celebrate the incredible record setting 56 game
conference win streak by the Durham College Women's Fastball
program in OCAA Women's Fastball. Mark down September 15th on
your calendar and see you at the home opener.

"We will be organizing and celebrating a special night at our
DC Varsity WFB 2006-07 Home opener on September 15th this fall,
stated Athletic Director Ken Babcock.  We will be inviting back
every player (and coaching staff of course) that was a part of
the magnificent 56 game (4 year) record setting OCAA conference
winning streak!" Now affectionately to be known as "THE STREAK".

The agenda for the evening will include: An introduction of all
team members, coaches, and presentation of an official "THE STREAK"
keepsake.  All fans in attendance will receive an official "STREAK"
souvenir. (1st 200 fans).  We will be unveiling a specially designed
banner sign recognizing the 56 Game win streak that will be mounted
on the outfield fence permanently.  And of course the big OCAA
home opener game against Cambrian College at 6:30pm.  There will
be a post game social after the game.  All players, parents,
coaches and fans are welcome to the post social.

The Durham College Women¹s Fastball Team entered the 2005-06
OCAA Collegiate fastball season as defending 3-time Ontario Champions
and the owners of a monster 43 game conference winning streak.
That streak continued with this years Women¹s Fastball team as
they went undefeated again in league play (12-0) and captured
the regular season pennant for the 9th straight year.  They then
opened the Championships, looking for their unprecedented 4th
straight OCAA Championship crown, with a solid 8-4 win over Canadore
College. That win pushed the streak to 56 in a row. Then on to
the Gold medal game!

However a determined St. Clair College ended DC¹s hopes of a
4th straight title in the Gold medal game, beating the Lords
7-2.  Coach Nemish and the 12-time OCAA Champions had not lost
an OCAA Conference or Play-off Game since September 13th, 2002,
where they dropped a 7-3 decision to Canadore College.  The very
next day the Lords defeated Canadore College 3-0 to start an
amazing record win streak.  This record streak continued into
its 4th season and included 3 consecutive OCAA Gold Medals and
an OCAA Silver Medal this season.

A highly talented roster of student-athletes have worn the Green
& Gold during this streak and are responsible along with Head
Coach Jim Nemish and Assistants Mal Swift and Rosemary Theriault.
The amazing streak that spanned an unthinkable four years has
seen the following team members involved. See attached for team
DC team Rosters during the streak. This streak is simply an amazing
story! Simply amazing!
