KASSAA Champions 02.21.03
The Junior Panthers faced an uphill battle after dropping the first set in Thursday's championship match but the fear of losing and some late but vocal fan support gave the girls the boost they needed to steal the win from the Sydenham Golden Eagles' claws.
Shaky passing lead to a 16-25 defeat in the first set, but the girls rebounded to squeak out a 25-23 win in the second set.  "I don't know how we won that second set", quoted coach Mark McKenna after the match.  "We missed so many serves, I lost count." 
Winning the second set, despite inconsistent serving, was all the impetus the girls needed to come out in the third set with more confidence.  Arguably the turning point of the match occurred late in the nail-biting, third set when Martha Williamson made a last second dig which headed directly for the net.  Jessica Teves made a great play to dig it out of the net and and power-hitting Annie Kingston jumped on the dig and cranked it cross-court.  Fortunately the Sydenham defender touched the ball as it was heading out of bounds.  The Panthers went on to win the third set 26-24. 
The momentum carried through to the fourth set as Sydenham came out with dwindling confidence and the Regi girls turned up the heat on their serving and hitting.  Jessica Teves polished off five consecutive aces as the Panthers posted a dominating 25-14 fourth set win.

The win was a fantastic team effort and the girls look forward to competing for the EOSSAA title next week.
Quarter-Final Sweep to the Semi's 02.20.03
The RND Junior girls have advanced to the semi-finals with a 3-0 sweep over the Napanee Golden Hawks.   The outcome was never in doubt during the quarter-final action that saw the girls finally hitting their pre-break stride.  Transition practice paid off as the girls converted some great defensive plays to offensive kills.  Kudos to Alexandra Howard who has settled comfortably into the libero/defensive specialist position.  The girls look forward to meeting pre-season favourites Holy Cross in the semis on February 18th.   Expect an exciting match as the teams come in with a 2-2 head to head record.
On a Playoff Roll with Season Ending Victory 02.12.03
RND broke the mold of 5 set victories with a slightly shorter 3-1 win over the Lasalle Black Knights. The win means the improving Panthers finish the KASSAA campaign with a 10-1 record and will host a quarter-final playoff game on Thursday at RND
A Close Call 01.17.03
The Jr. Panthers suffered their first league game defeat of the season against the strong serving Sydenham Golden Eagles. After a getting off to a typically slow start, the Panthers came back from an 8 - 1 deficit to win the first set 26 - 24.  Sydenham took the next two sets but REGI came back in the fourth set with an altered line-up moving Ivana Lochhead to the power position and Alexandra Howard to the libero position.  These changes resulted in a lopsided 25-11 win.  Unfortunately, the Panthers could not recover from another slow start in the critical but shortened fifth- set rally point game. The marathon game of five sets didn't end until well into the evening!  The Jr. Panthers remain in 1st place in the KASSAA standings.  Congratulations to Martha Williamson for winning the first "hustle" award of the season.
Panthers close the cage on Falcons 01.16.03 (jv)
On Tuesday night, the junior varsity Panthers defeated Frontenac 3-1. Frontenac, the hosting team, took the first game from the girls with a score of a mere 25-23. In the next two games, Regi allowed themselves plenty of breathing room, each game being 25-12. The deciding set, 25-16, though a little closer than the previous ones, awarded the ladies the victory!
They will meet Sydenham, yet again, on Thusday evening at 5:30.
Panthers lose in semis 01.13.03
This weekend Regi's junior girls fell just short of being in the final game at Holy Cross' tournment on Saturday, losing against Sydenham.
Game was taken in four 01.10.03
Yesterday at home, the girls played Holy Cross, a very stong team both offensively and defensively. It was predicted to be a hard game. In four sets, they took the win, each set having a close score. The Panthers will play at Frontenac on Tuesday night at 4:00.
Regi captures another win 01.08.03
Kyla Tozer began the match by serving up 6 consecutive points including two aces to lead the Junior Panthers to a decisive 25 - 16 first set win.  The Panthers went on to beat the Golden Hawks 3 - 0 with scores of 25 - 15 and 25 -21 in the second and third sets respectively.  Additional strong serving by Martha Williamson and Tashia Cadue was the key to the RND's 3rd straight set win. The final set ended in exciting fashion with a spectacular dig by Courtney Purves converted to a kill by Maria Karara.  RND remains atop the Junior standings with a 5 - 0 record.
Panthers win in 5 12.20.02 (dl, jv)
Regi hosted Ernestown last night, and twice erased one game deficitis to nip the opponents. They won the deciding game, 15-12. The last match was a nailbaiter, but Regi pulled out ahead.
The girls are taking a Christmas break, and resuming again after with a league game on the Tuesday returning.
Regi defeats QE 12.18.02 (dl,jv)
The Junior girls displayed a strong team effort as they took the game against the Raiders in three sets last night. The Panthers dominated the first two, however, the final was a close one. The Panthers prevailed 28-26.
At home on Thursday, regi will play the Ernestown Eagles.
With grace 12.13.02
Annie Kingston and Martha Williamson served up 14 points and 12 points respectively to lead the Junior girls to a straight set win over Ecole Secondaire Marie-Rivier.  The scores were 25-9, 25-11 and 25-19.  Unlike the nailbiter at KCVI on Tuesday, RND took command from the opening whistle.  The convincing win is dedicated to co-coach Mark McKenna who was at the hospital providing support to his wife Talia and newborn baby Grace.  Congratulations Mark!  The junior panthers are now 2-0 heading into their first tournament being held in Napanee on Saturday.
