Saints add trio to golf program

Lakeshore's Steven Hall, who was an OUA all-star this past season, is set to join the St. Clair Saints golf program next season.

A St. Anne high school product, Hill is one of three recruits set to join the program along with Oldcastle's Alyssa Cowling, who is a Villanova high school product, and Jack Zylstra, who is from St. Thomas.

“Alyssa, Jack and Steven will make exceptional additions to our campus and our current golf team and athletic community,” Saints coach Kevin Corriveau said in a release. “I am incredibly excited they have chosen our college to further their academic and golf careers.”

Hill spent a year in the U.S. at Adrian College before joining the Lancers and was sixth overall at last year's OUA championship.

“St. Clair College provides the perfect balance for athletics and academics; foster my academic growth while also allowing me to continue my passion of playing golf,” Hill said in a release.

The Saints took team bronze in the men's competition this past season and placed fourth nationally.

Zylstra won the OFSAA high school division in 2022 while Cowling was a top-10 finisher at OFSAA and won gold at the Ontario Summer Games in 2022.

“After speaking with and receiving offers from coaches from U.S. schools, I was hesitant to commit as I felt something was always missing, whether on the academic or athletic side,” Cowling said in a release. “When I met with coach Corriveau, it felt like all the pieces just fit together.”

LANCERS VOLLEYBALL STARS

Three members of the Windsor Lancers men's team and two from the women's team were honoured for their performance during the OUA volleyball season.

For the men, middle Darian Koskie is a first-team all-star and setter Markus Law-heese is a second-team all-star selection. Libero Quintin Greenidge was named to the all-rookie team.

Koskie had the highest hitting percentage in the league at .409 per game and averaged 2.8 kills per set while Law-heese averaged 9.08 assists per set.

For the women's team, left-side hitter Aliah Admans and outside hitter Yaila Sealy were both named to the second all-star team.

Admans and Sealy tied for 11th in the OUA this season with an average of 2.9 points per set while Admans finished 10th in total points with 221 in 20 games and Sealy finished 13th in the league with an average of 2.61 kills per game.

CFL INVITATIONAL COMBINE

Five players with area ties will be in Waterloo Friday for the CFL Invitational Combine.

The top performers from the one-day camp will be invited to attend the CFL National Combine, which is set for March 19-24 in Winnipeg.

The St. Clair Saints, who have won back-to-back Ontario Football Conference titles, will send defensive back Nate Norton, linebacker Keewone Parker and offensive lineman Ezzat Elnagmi.

Also set to compete is Windsor Lancers running back Christopher John and offensive lineman Owen Mueller.
