The Oakville Beaver, W e d n e sd a y F e b ru a ry 12, 2003 - D3 Raiders tune up for playoffs with bronze at all-Catholic St. Thomas Aquinas finally had their impressive 30-0 undefeated string come to an end at the provincial all-Catholic girls high school volleyball champi onships held in Oakville over the week end. It being their toughest tournament of the year, they had discussed the possi bility going into the tourney, conceded coach Peter Szpakowski. And what they decided they would do is to simply regroup and continue on towards their ultimate goal -- which is lo win their competitive Halton championship and proceed on to the O FS A A provincial champi onship for the first time. Their strategy seemed to have worked. They did lose, in the semifinals of the A-division championship, to a very strong Holy Names team from Windsor (25-1 6, 25-19). Holy Names, for the second year in a row. then went on to lose the champi onship game to St. Theresa's from Midland (25-21. 25-22). Aquinas rebounded to win the bronze medal match over London St. Thomas Aquinas (25-22, 26-24). Their overall season record is now 39-1 (75-8 in sets). The quarterfinal featured an allOakville showdown with Aquinas win ning 2-0 over a strong Loyola side which had finished second in their pool. The two Oakville teams have earned a bye in their opening round league playoffs today with Aquinas finishing first at 10-0 and Loyola finishing in a three-way tie for second place at 8-2 (but earning second on the tiebreaker). Complete Halton high school stand ings, scores and schedules are included in this Sports Section, on D2. The Aquinas coaches expressed pride in the way their team has improved over the last three years, not ing that two years ago, they finished third in D-division and last year second in the B-Division. Loyola has also showed consistent improvement, finishing in the D-divi sion two years ago and winning the Cdivision last year. THE OAKVILLE HEAVER Hi my name is John O'Connor.

John O'Connor On to second round after sweep of Ancaster The Oakville Rangers m inor ban tam AA rep team, sponsored by JN L International Consulting, swept Ancaster in three games with a 5-3 win. The team now moves on to the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (O M H A) quarterfinals against Brampton. Down 2-0 in the series and facing elimination, Ancaster built up leads of 20 and 3-1 at the intermissions. Daniel Tremblay scored the Oakville goal from Edmund Konroyd-Bolden and Anthony Farrow. But Oakville roared back in the final frame with four goals, all assisted by Jacob Truant. The first two were spectacular back breakers and almost identical, hi both cases Tyson Theaker roared down the right wing and then sent pin-point passes through to Cedric Soubry to con vert. Theaker then scored twice himself, the last into an empty net.
