Led by third-year outside hitter Vania Silva dos Santos de Oliveira, Douglas finished second in the competitive PACWEST with an 18-6 record. They’ll face the Fanshawe Falcons, who captured their first OCAA Championship crown in 47 years. Fanshawe defeated the Niagara Knights in the OCAA final. The Falcons, led by OCAA Player of the Year Janelle Albert, finished atop the OCAA West Division standings with a perfect 21-0 record.
