Trio of home games present opportunities for Rams at end of season

TORONTO - After a whirlwind season, including just one home game in the fall, the Rams come home for three games this week as the season draws to a close. 

Before a bye week, the Rams fell 3-1 to the undefeated Toronto Varsity Blues on home court. The squad showed plenty of promise as they took the opening set 25-20 and forced a 27-25 rally in the third set. The nationally ranked Toronto squad had previously just dropped two sets in their entire season, but were no match for the Rams' hot start. 

Mikayla Sheriffs led the way in scoring while rookie Mary Ann Rioflorido collected 16 digs against Toronto. 

The Rams will hope to continue their momentum now more than ever as they face the slumping Trent Excalibur and RMC Paladins this week. 

Trent has four wins on the season, taking their last game in a five-set victory over the Nipissing Lakers. Previously, they dropped their last two contests in straight sets against Queen's and York.

Like the Rams, the Paladins are still searching for their first win on the season. They also stole a set in a 3-1 loss to the Queen's Gaels last weekend. 

However, RMC suffers from a 0.049 hitting percentage, putting them at the bottom of the table. Trent is not much more efficient, at 0.051 percent. Despite being kept off the win column, the Rams' 0.090 percentage beats out both squads, and middle blocker Ashley Ditchfield quietly sits fourth in the OUA with a 0.293 hitting percentage.

The Rams will look to come out firing against both squads with their dynamic offence. 

First serve flies at 6:00 p.m. all week, with Trent visiting home court on Wednesday and Friday while RMC comes to town on Saturday.
