SCHEDULES ARE SET FOR FALL SPORTS AT DURHAM COLLEGE
OSHAWA, Ont. – September can’t come soon enough for Durham College student-athletes as the schedules for fall sports have been released. Plenty of sports will get their seasons underway shortly after classes begin and the Durham Lords are looking to build off the success they had last season.
The Women’s Soccer team will kick off the defense of their OCAA championship and CCAA National Bronze medal on Saturday, September 6 as they play host to Cambrian College. Make sure you come out as we celebrate the success of the women’s soccer program as they have won four provincial titles over the last five seasons. The Saturday matinee will begin at 2:00 p.m. and will be followed by the home opener for the Lords Men’s team at 4:00 p.m., who will also match up against the Golden Shield.
The powerhouse Durham women’s fastball team will begin their title defense and quest for an 11th consecutive OCAA Medal when they begin their season on Thursday, September 11 as they visit the Mohawk Mountaineers for a doubleheader in Hamilton. The Lords won’t make their home debut until Friday, September 19 when they host the same Mohawk squad. The Lords will hold a celebration in honour of last year’s championship squad along with recognizing head coach Jim Nemish’s 300th career victory. Opening pitch will be at 7:00 p.m. The annual CAN-AM Classic will take place from September 24-25.
Men’s baseball will have a busy first weekend of the season as they travel to Kingston to take on Queen’s University for four games in two days from September 6-7. The men will return to the friendly confines of Oshawa’s Kinsmen Stadium for their home opener on Saturday, September 13 beginning at 1:00 p.m. against the expansion St. Clair Saints. The baseball schedule is highlighted by an eight game homestand beginning with the home opener and running through to September 21. The men will attempt to once again win the CIBA Ontario Championship and qualify for the National Championship for the fourth consecutive season. This year’s National Championships are being held in Montreal.
It will be an action packed month for Durham Golfers as their season opens in London on Saturday, September 20 for the Fanshawe Invitational. The crown jewel of the season leading up to the championship is the Durham Invitational which will take place at Lakeridge Links in Brooklin on Monday, September 22. This year’s OCAA provincial championship will be held in Cornwall at the Upper Canada Golf Club from September 29 to October 1.
