The Citizen, 2008-02-28, Page 8SportsPAGE 8. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2008. Brussels Tykes played against Listowel in a game that ended tied 2- 2. Noah Terpstra scored and Darren Evans assisted. Then Avery McArter scored with Ronan Jarad assisting. On Tuesday Seaforth travelled to Brussels through stormy weather. This game also ended tied 2-2. Jarron Thompson played great in net for both games. For a volleyball team to be successful on the court, they must have a setter who understands the game, his quick feet and excellent setting skills as well as great court sense. The starting job to quarterback a young Knights women’s volleyball team was handed to rookie in Kerrisa Van Amersfoort of Blyth. The first year police foundations student didn’t let her team down as she not only set the ball but she also contributed on offence finishing the season fourth in team scoring with 46 kills, 31 service aces, 20 stuffed blocks for 97 points while digging up 51 kill attempts. The 6'1" setter was recognized by the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association Western Region opposing coaches for her outstanding play on both ends of the court and was named Western Region Rookie of the Year. Van Amersfoort and the Niagara College Knights, finished the season in second place in the OCAA Western Region with a record of 10 and 5 before bowing out in the first round of playoffs to Cambrian College.

Milverton managed to score their only goal with just two seconds left at the end of the first period. Determined to win the series, Brussels went on to score five more for a 7-1 victory. These were netted by Logan Kellington with a hattrick, Smith with her second, and Noah Terpstra. They were assisted by Machan, Smith and Kellington.
