RELEASE — Kara Stephan (Barrie, ON) of the RMC women’s volleyball team and Dale Towe (Caledon, ON) of the men’s side played the last games of their four-year OUA careers on the weekend, and both will graduate atop the Paladins record books in multiple categories.
Stephan’s career stats put her first in RMC women’s volleyball history with 991 points, 806 kills, and 131 aces, while Towe’s 885.5 points and 773 kills put him atop the men’s records.
On Sunday, RMC’s women honoured Stephan and fellow graduating senior Madison Cross (Burlington, ON) in their final game of the year when they hosted Lakehead. The Paladins won in dramatic fashion, squeaking out a 26-24 comeback win in the fourth set before winning the match 3-2. Stephan set a pair of RMC single-game records in the last match of her career, with 33 kills and 35 points.
Towe’s career ended in the men’s final match on Friday night at Queen’s. Last weekend, when RMC hosted Trent in their final home game of the year, Towe set a Paladins single-game record with 31 points.
Both athletes will depart the College and start their careers in the Canadian Armed Forces with a host of RMC records to their names.
