Two members of the Leaside Volleyball Club’s Leaside Lightning have been chosen to start for the Queen’s Gaels volleyball squad this fall. Becky Wilson and Ali Shamie have been tabbed by Gael’s head coach Joely Christian-Macfarlane to join three other newcomers to her championship team. Wilson is also in the provincial team system, and is regarded as one of the top libero prospects in the country. The Pickering native led the Lightning U18 win their first-ever Ontario championship last season, in the team’s first year of existence. Ali Shamie is a Havergal College old girl (2012) She, with Wilson, led the Lightning to the Ontario Championship. She also led Havergal to the Consolation Championship at the 2012 OFSAA AAA championship, after the Gators went 12-0 in the Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association.
