The Redeemer Royals are going back to the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association Provincial Badminton Championships after a strong showing at the West Regional Champ<\/span>ionships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Julie Koopmans (Women\u2019s Singles) and the pairing of Rachel Buys and Carla Hogan (Women\u2019s Doubles) qualified for the main event. Koopmans finished round robin play with a 5-1 record over the course of the two days (Feb. 1-2). Her record was good enough to give her a second place finish in Pool B.<\/span><\/p>\n

From there, she faced off against the top player from Pool A, Carol Delacera from Seneca College in the semi-finals. A 21-7, 21-12 loss saw Koopmans drop to the bronze medal match with the winner advancing to the provincial finals. In dramatic fashion, Koopmans defeated Danica Zwep from Fanshawe College, 21-16, 18-21, 21-19. Koopmans finished third overall against 14 competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Redeemer women\u2019s doubles team of Hogan and Buys made the provincial championship by finishing third out of the seven teams represented. Playing in their first regional championship ever, they finished the tournament with a 4-2 record, losing only to the first and second place teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Redeemer\u2019s men\u2019s singles player Blair Hogan rolled through the round robin with a 5-1 record. Blair fell just short of qualifying for the provincial tournament after losing to the eventual champion, Humber\u2019s Tim Chiu (21-10, 21-10) in the semis and then losing to Humber\u2019s Chris Dupuis in a heartbreaking bronze medal match (21-18, 15-21, 21-14). Hogan finished fourth overall out of 14 competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Royals mixed doubles pairing of Janelle Koopmans and Dan Vandenboogard lost a disappointing tiebreaker after finishing the tournament with a 3-3 record. Seneca and Fanshawe also finished with a 3-3 record but the Royals failed to advance with Seneca winning the tiebreaker.<\/span><\/p>\n

The OCAA finals will take place at Centennial College on Feb. 15-16.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other Redeemer results from the West Regional Championship included:<\/span><\/p>\n

Rebecca Woudstra, Women\u2019s Singles, 2-4, fifth place Pool A; Stephen Bowler, Men\u2019s Singles, 2-4, fifth place Pool B; Kaleb Antonides and Liam Johnson, men\u2019s doubles, 1-5, sixth place.<\/span><\/p>\n
