The Lakeland College Rustlers women’s volleyball team took on the Assiniboine College Cougars in exhibition action on Sept. 20.
This exhibition game, however, was special as it was held at E.S. Laird Middle School.
“This is an incredible opportunity for our entire student body to cheer on the Lakeland Rustler teams, witness high-level athletics in action, and be inspired by where hard work, dedication, and teamwork can lead,” said principal Luke Maw.
The Rustlers beat the Cougars, three sets to two.
In game two, they beat the Keyano College Huskies 3-1.
Rustlers coach, Austin Dyer, who’s also a teacher at E.S., was happy to bring the team to his school.
“We are excited to play in front of E.S. Laird Middle School students. We hope this experience shows them the possibilities that athletics offer—not just in competition, but in life,” said Dyer. “
“We’re excited to be part of this community and hopefully inspire some future athletes and leaders.”
The team went undefeated for the rest of their exhibition tournament.
