The picturesque town has been a thing of beauty for the Eagles as they advance to the Quarter-Final with a 2-0 win (25-19, 25-18) over the De La Salle Cavaliers from Ottawa. Dryden relied on serving in their first two wins, but showcased a stiffling defense against the Cavaliers, who came in as one of the Tournament favourites. The Eagles still have one more game and it's another big one at 6:30 cst. A Dryden win means they will secure first place in their pool. A loss gives the Eagles second and a berth in the next round.
