Lords wrap up a record breaking regular season with a pair of
wins

Women’s Fastball
Game One – Durham defeated Conestoga 10-0
Game Two – Durham defeated Conestoga 4-0

KITCHENER, Ont. – The Durham College women’s fastball team finished
up their OCAA regular season on Thursday night with two road
wins against Conestoga College.

With the pair of victories, Durham finished the year at 11-1,
earning their twelfth regular season title in 13 years and 24th
pennant overall.

It was a record setting year for the Lords at the plate as second
year infielder Samantha Roelofsen (Alma, Ont.) won the OCAA triple
crown, finishing first in every offensive category. Roelofsen
won the league batting title averaging .594 this season, the
highest total of any OCAA player since 1998. She also led the
league in hits (22), runs (19) and RBI’s (15).

Teammate and 2008 league batting champion Erin Dewey (Port Hope,
Ont.) also had an outstanding year, finishing the season with
a .463 average along with 19 hits, 14 runs and 13 RBI’s. Dewey’s
career batting average is .505 in two seasons, making her the
OCAA’s all-time career batting leader, breaking a record that
has stood since 1992.

Durham’s performance on the mound this season was also exceptional,
as the team allowed a league low 15 runs and gave up only one
run in their last five games.

Freshman Janna Hagan (Sherwood Park, Albt,) was untouchable on
the mound allowing no earned runs in 21 innings pitched. Hagan
saved her best for last as she pitched a one hitter in Thursday’s
game one victory.

Kayla MacLean (Whitby, Ont.) also capped off a great season in
the circle with a win/loss record of 4-0 with an ERA of 1.75.

Thursday night’s two wins was a complete team effort over Conestoga
with every player in the lineup contributing. Roelofsen was 5-for-7
on the night with three runs and three RBI’s while Bailey Corneal
(Whitby, Ont.) went 2-for-3 in game two with a run scored. Nicole
Hayes (Whitby, Ont.) and Hagan picked up the wins for Durham.

The Lords hope to continue their great play in Kitchener this
weekend as they take part in the 2009 Canadian Intercollegiate
Women's Fastpitch National Championship from October 10-12, 2009.
The Lords will open up round robin play at the Peter Hallman
Ball Yard on Saturday at 10:45 a.m. vs. McMaster University.
The Lords will also take on the University of Ottawa and University
of Saskatchewan in round robin action.
