Red Deer, January 19, 2024 - Red Deer Polytechnic Queens middle-blocker Raya Roesler (Practical Nurse Diploma) finished with a team-high 13 kills and led her team to a three-straight set victory over the Medicine Hat College Rattlers on Friday evening.

In the early goings of the first set, these two teams were playing very close volleyball despite the Queens coming into this match in first place in the South Division with the Rattlers sitting in seventh. But after RDP earned six out of the next eight points, Medicine Hat would call a timeout. Outside-hitter Cianna Chalack (University Studies) came into the match following the short break and made a huge difference from the service line. She was able to help her team gain a couple of points back and make it a two-point game. The Rattlers would fight off two set-point rallies but fell 25-22 after outside-hitter Rachel Perry (Business Diploma) put away her third kill of the match.

The Queens jumped out to a quick start in the second set as they took a 13-6 lead into a Rattlers timeout. Despite a very close set in the second with RDP narrowly outscoring the visitors 12-11, Medicine Hat would fall 25-16 after middle-blocker Raya Roesler closed out the set with her ninth kill.

Outside-hitter Morgan Boisvert (Bachelor of Arts in Psychology) started the third set well as she earned two kills and served three in a row to put the Queens up 5-1. Roesler would put away kill number 11 to give her team a 14-8 lead as they went into a timeout called by the Rattlers. She would finish the match with 13 and was named the player of the game for the Queens. Boisvert would continue her serving dominance as she served five in a row and extended the Queens lead to 10 before ending it with an error. The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology student would call the match with her sixth kill to take the third set 25-16 in the win.

The Rattlers player of the match was awarded to middle Anica Haberstock (Bachelor of Education) who finished with nine kills and seven digs.

These two teams will face off in a rematch tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm in Red Deer.

Players of the match: Anica Haberstock (Rattlers) and Raya Roesler (Queens)
