Outstanding Efforts

A hockey player and volleyball player have been named the Red Deer College Athletics Bedford Food Company Athletes of the Week:

Kaylee Domoney had another magnificent weekend on the court for the Red Deer College Queens Volleyball team (19-3). Despite having the difficult task of facing the previously undefeated Briercrest College Clippers, the fourth-year from Red Deer was a difference maker.

On Friday, the Queens did what no other team in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) had done before – defeat the Clippers. In the four set home victory (23-25, 25-22, 25-21, 25-22), Domoney was a steady influence on defence, contributing 11 digs and four assists, and earning the Collegiate Sports Medicine Queens Player-of-the-Game.

Even though Briercrest College captured Saturday’s rematch in four sets (16-25, 25-23, 25-22 and 25-15), the Kinesiology General student had another strong game, totaling 12 digs and two assists.

Domoney ranks seventh in the league with 3.48 digs per set. The second place RDC Queens have already sealed a spot in the ACAC Championship, Feb. 27-29 at Medicine Hat College.

Meanwhile, centre Dylan Thudium made RDC Kings Hockey history this past weekend in a pair of victories against the Portage College Voyageurs.

With his four points, the fifth-year student-athlete surpassed former all-star captain Tanner Butler, becoming the Kings all-time points leader with 113.

In nearly five years with RDC, Thudium has scored 39 goals and 74 assists, with four regular season games remaining.

In Friday’s 5-3 win, the Kings trailed heading into the third period and the Sylvan Lake product sniped the tying goal. He also assisted on RDC’s first tally.

Then in Saturday’s thrilling 7-6 overtime victory, Thudium recorded a pair of assists.

The Bachelor of Business Administration General Management student provides leadership and is an offensive threat when he steps on the ice.

Thudium and the Kings have already earned a trip to the postseason.
