For the second consecutive year Humber’s men and women’s volleyball team won the Humber Cup! The women’s team was up against the Mohawk Mountaineers, while the men’s team was up against the Fanshawe Falcons. First looking at the women, they won both sets against the Mountaineers 25 to 19 and 25 to 22. What seems like an easy win for the women was actually a pain staking fight, at least in the second set. Mohawk did not give up the fight, but the lack of morale kicked in and sent them tumbling down.
On the other side, the men had a different story with a two set victory as well against the Falcons 25 to 21 and 27 to 25. According to Jim a journalist for Humber News “This match was tight from start to finish…Fanshawe seemed to have figured out the Humber attack”. Unfortunately for the Falcons, it did not take too long for Humber to press pass their onslaught and take the first set. Although, the next set had to be decided in “overtime” Humber managed to keep a defensive stance and watch as Fanshawe put the ball into the net to win it for Humber. You know what I say…there is no offense like a great defense.
In other news, Humber’s woman’s soccer team is heading to Edmonton to compete for the Nationals soccer title after winning the OCAA tournament. Hopefully with their almost flawless record of 7-0-1 they can become the first major sports team out of soccer, volleyball, and basketball to win a national title. Their first game is on November 10th, 2010, and they will be playing Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Ooks.

Last, I would just like to let you all know how much more athletic our rugby team is than Seneca Sting. Our Men’s rugby team won a whopping 39 to 0 on Sunday to advance to the finals. To be honest, I’m going to make an extremely precise speculation and say we’re going to take the championships for men’s rugby. The game is on November 14th, 2010 at 11:30am and they will be playing the Mohawk Mountaineers. Go Hawks Go!!
