Fly like a hawk, die like a Seneca bee...some people call it luck, others, they call it faith, but we here a Humber College know that our varsity sports teams for the Humber Hawks have just pure skill! Looking back on October 23rd, 2010 (Saturday) our volleyball team competed in the finals at the Durham Adidas Cup. Getting there was no easy strut either, because Humber had to defeat Fleming, Durham, and Niagara. Finally, we end up at the finals in a face off (or net off, whichever you prefer) against our rivals (according to the Business School) Seneca College. The Seneca Stings is what they call themselves, but considering their defeat by the Hawks they stung too early in the competition and died (lost). Our Hawks yet again prove that we’re at the top of the food chain. Humber beat out the Stings at a 3-2 victory, and according to Jim, a journalist for Humber Athletics it was “a replay of last year’s OCAA Final”. Also, we would like to give a shout out to Terrel Bramwell for earning MVP and his teammate Paul Kemboi for being named all-star. We’re proud of you, and keep up the awesome job!
In more news pertaining to beating up on The Seneca Bees...I mean Stings. Our rugby girls have been having no trouble taking out the trash to earn first in their division. As it may be obvious, on October 27th, 2010 (Wednesday) our girls will be facing off against Seneca in a final game for first in the division. Now, I’m no expert, but I can speculate that considering the struggles Seneca had getting to be in the presence of our rugby girls we should not have any trouble. All jokes aside, this should be an awesome show and everyone available should go check out the game. GO HAWKS GO!
Just to show you skeptics out there what it's like to fly like a hawk and die like a Seneca bee...well almost a bee...check out this video below it will turn skeptics into believers :)

A Very Important Weekend for the Hawks Family In The CCAA
A very important weekend for the hawks family since many Hawks varsity games had been held over the weekend. One the most exciting events for Humber over the weekend was the CCAA Men's Golf Championships in Kamloops. The four some ended up taking individually Gold, Silver, Bronze and the fourth member came in 5th. The four some had won by a landslide winning with a score of 38 strokes which made them as a team 8 strokes under par. Along with the incredible win by Humber all four athletes had been elected as All Canadians for the year, adding Humber to the CCAA golf record book. Everyone is very proud of everything that theses athletes have achieved and can't wait to see what is in store for next year. Congrats Boys!
On another winning note men's and woman's soccer had both been able to defeat the mighty Sheridan Bruins for both teams to know attain the title of first place in the OCAA West Division. After Sheridan helped Humber with this great news they had been a good luck charm for our woman's volleyball team in their first season tournament this year. The woman's volleyball team was extremely successful once again with winning the Sheridan Tournament by a land slide no teams were able to gain more than 20 points against the team. The girls are very eager to keep the winning streak in tact for a forth year in a row and they certainly sent out the message to other teams in the league on the weekend that if they want to compete they are going to have to give it their all because the girls are definitely going to fight for another title this year.
Our rugby teams also played on the weekend with the girls team beating Fleming College 20-5 this year caption Lindsey Bradbury lead with two tries. this win putting them into a tie for first place in the division. Our men's rugby team was also very successful on Saturday winning 36-6. Contrary to the score it was a very intense game and the boys were able to show that they are ready to come fighting for the Mohawk Mountaineer's for the league title after Humber's upset last year! This truly was a very important weekend for the hawks family.

Hawks Go Hunting This Thanksgiving for the St.Clair Saints
Hawks go hunting this thanksgiving...Oh when the Saints, go marchin’ in. Oh when the Saints go marchin’ in…HOLD ON THERE Louis Armstrong! Not this time. It looks like the Humber Hawks men’s baseball team served up another gluttonous win over the weekend against the St. Clair Saints in Windsor. The score at the end of the day on Sunday was 7 to 6; a very close game for our Hawks indeed. With this victory, it allowed them to move in to the Ontario division championship this Saturday for a best of three games in Oshawa. If both games are tied 1 to 1, then the boys will be playing at Centennial Optimist Park hosted by Humber.
When looking at woman’s golf, our girls went to the OCAA Championship in what was called a rebuilding state. We were led by Michele Lee and Jessica Payne who lead us to silver. On that note, individually, our girls came in third and fifth. Michele Lee had a 261 stroke, but increasing her performance each round (90, 87, 84). Jessica Payne, not as lucky as Michele, scored a 99, 84, and 87 to come to a stroke total of 270. Overall, the girls did a wonderful performance with all this pressure on them to do well. They have definitely exceeded my expectations considering I wouldn’t even be able to drive off the tee.
This weekend was also a serious moment for our women’s basketball team. Our girls will be traveling to Quebec’s Vanier College to challenge the best teams in the country. Hopefully they do well, and all the best no matter what happens this thanksgiving as hawks go hunting. GO HAWKS GO!

Do the Alumni Hawks Still Got It?
Do the Alumni hawks still got it? The past week was a very important weekend for Humber Athletics, it was Alumni weekend. Saturday afternoon the mens and womans varsity basketball and volleyball teams played there Alumni. We are very pleased to say that at Humber the athletic talent continues to increase with all for teams winning their Alumni matches. So unfortunately for the old Hawks it seems that they don't still have it.
Along with Alumni weekend we had the home opener for mens rugby and season opener for womans rugby. The mens game was on Wednesday against Conestoga College it was a very close call for our boys considering Conestoga was in the lead for the majority of the game but then with two tries closer to the end the boys were able to pull through, leaving the fans with a suspenseful game. For womans rugby having there first ever OCAA game they went out strong showing other teams in the league that they are not going down without a fight pulling out a 10-0 win over Loyalist.

Mens Soccer, Humber-5 vs St.Clair-0 and Humber-6 vs Lambton-0

Along with the busy game schedule for the weekend Humber Athletics held their annual gala on Friday. This with lots of games, auctions and raffles, also the gala is used every year to show family, friends and supporters of the Humber Hawks what athletics is all about at Humber giving everyone a chance to get to know all of the players, coach's and all the staff in athletics. Still think the old hawks still got it?
