Gee-Gees Standout Left Side Player, Named 2nd Team All Canadian

The 2005-06 CIS Women’s Volleyball season comes to an end the weekend, with the playing of the National Championship tournament in Calgary. In association with the championship banquet, the All Canadian awards were handed out; and this year, Gee-Gees standout left side player, Christine Lamey has been named a Second Team All Canadian, recognizing her as one of the top twelve players in the country for the 2005-06 season.

Lamey entered her 3rd year of play with the Gees looking to step to the next level of performance. After an invitation to the Canadian National Team try out camp in May of 2005, Lamey certainly had a chance to see what the next level of her game could be. Christine tore through the OUA league this year with an atmosphere of determination and fire that few could match. As the season drew to a close this 4-time OUA Player of the Game was named as an OUA East First Team All Star and a top candidate for All Canadian honors.

A look at Lamey’s 05-06 statistics will tell you why the country took notice this season:
• Ranked #1 in Ontario and #3 in Canada in points / game (4.32)
• Ranked #1 in Ontario and #6 in Canada in total points (272)
• Ranked #2 in Ontario and #4 in Canada in kills/game (3.68)
• Ranked #3 in Ontario and #9 in Canada in total kills (232)
• Ranked #8 in Ontario in aces per game (.35)

The exciting news for Gee-Gees Volleyball is that Christine still has two years of eligibility left in her career, and along with 13 potential returning players from this year’s OUA Final Four team, the Gees will clearly be one of the favorites again next year to put together a run at the OUA Championship.
