After winning seven consecutive Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s volleyball titles from 2011-2017, RDC found their way back to the peak in 2020.
RDC won the gold medal match Saturday at the ACAC Championships in Lethbridge, taking down the host Lethbridge College Kodiaks in four sets (23-25, 25-19, 25-20, 25-23).
