Men and Women Hawks Golden
A dominating season to say the least, it was only fitting for the powerful Humber Hawks to walk away with a Men’s Volleyball Provincial Championship and a trip to the CCAA Nationals in Alberta. The Hawks defeated the Seneca Sting in the Gold medal match 3-0. Game scores were 25-15, 25-22, and 25-23. Humber finished the regular season winning the West Division Championship while the Seneca Sting won the East Division Championship.
In the Championship game, Terrel Bramwell led the Humber attack with 20 kills and 21 offensive points. Brian Archibald countered for the Sting with 17 kills.
Humber picks up the Gold, and Seneca the Silver, and it was the host Redeemer Royals who edged out Mohawk College for the Bronze medal. In the bronze medal game the Royals came through in a 5 set thriller after being down 2-0 to start. Game scores were 17-25, 21-25, 25-19, 25-15, and 15-10. This is Redeemer’s first ever Men’s Volleyball medal.
For the Hawks, Jordan Langley and Derek Quinn were named as Tournament All-Stars along with Jason Hernandez and Brain Archibald from the Seneca Sting, and Ryan Talsma for the Redeemer Royals. Humber Hawk Terrel Bramwell was named the 2010 VSP OCAA Men’s Volleyball Championship Tournament MVP.
