Regi Captures Senior Volleyball Crown DOUG GRAHAM The Whig-Standard Regiopolis-Notre Dame Panthers' push to the provincial championship has turned into an outright shove.  For sure the Loyalist Lancers had to feel that way after being dispatched ever so quickly in Saturday’s Kingston Area championship at Queen’s Athletics Centre. The Panthers were thorough and precise in dashing the Lancers 3-0, allowing just 39 points against over the three sets. It was obvious, too, the way the Panthers celebrated modestly after the victory that their sights are set on something bigger. “I know it is KASSAA and everything but we’ve got bigger goals in mind that just winning KASSAA,” said the Panthers dominant right-side hitter, Connor Santoni. “We want to win all of Ontario and I think we can do that.” Santoni, Duncan Lambert, Jamie Wright and Jacob Gordanier were all part of the big show the Panthers rolled out against the Lancers. It was 18-4 pretty quickly in the first set and everybody in the building could sense that the Panthers were on a mission. “We were definitely focused for sure. We knew we had to get it done here for moving forward into OFSAA, get some momentum for our team,” said Santoni, who had five kills in the first set and more than a dozen for the match. “We were firing on all cylinders. Every aspect of the game went well but it all started with passing and serving, what we worked on all year. I felt that went great for us.” Santoni, whose older brother, Tyler, played at Regi before going on to play university volleyball for the McMaster Marauders, said he would love to follow in his brother’s footsteps. The KASSAA title was No. 4 for him and he is contemplating returning to Regi next year to go after a fifth. “This is eight in a row for the seniors at Regi. That is pretty amazing,” Santoni said. Coach Mark McKenna was pleased to see his team so focused right from the start. “I thought they came out really hard and played exceptionally well,” McKenna said. “We always stress keep the errors to a minimum. They were on tonight. It was nice to see.” Right from Lambert’s opening slam for a point, the Lancers were under the gun. Coach Linda Tracey’s players did regroup to start the second set and with kills by Zack Fedora and Jacob Riley-Janzen were briefly ahead. The first real good rally of the mach came with the second set tied at 4-4. Regi prevailed on that with a tip point by Aiden Ross, got a great double block by Santoni and Gordanier set on Riley-Janzen for another point and then a dig by Evan Stucke which Gordanier finished off. After two kills by Santoni it was suddenly 9-4 Panthers on the way to a second-set 25-11 win. “You always want to get on top of a team right away and take away their will to compete,” McKenna said. “Our guys were great right from the get go.” Although the Panthers, as host for OFSAA for the third time since 2006, will have an automatic entry into the championship, Nov. 22-24, McKenna said the team will host Brockville for EOSSAA Thursday with the aim of making their seeding as high as possible for the provincial championship. “We are one of the top teams in the province. That’s where we should be. Hopefully we can show that.” The Lancers, as a AA school, will play at the Eastern Ontario championship next week. The OFSAA double-A championship is in Stratford, Nov. 22-24. Playoff Week 11.04.12 The Panthers host a Tuesday Tripleheader of KASSAA Basketball and Volleyball Quarter-Final action.
