ETOBICOKE, Ont -- The Humber Hawks (5-1, 3rd West) begin their two-match homestand Thursday evening when the CCAA's seventh ranked program, the Mohawk Mountaineers (6-1, 2nd West), travel to the Humber Athletic Centre.
In their last match, the Hawks clashed with no. 4 Fanshawe (7-1, 1st West), falling in four sets and losing their first match of the season. Humber won the first set but was unable to pull off the win despite Clayton Blanchette (St. Catharines) tying a career-high with 28 points.
The Mountaineers are coming off a loss as well, after a straight set sweep from the Redeemer Royals (5-2, 4th West) that dropped Mohawk four spots in the CCAA rankings. Mohawk was held to season-low 0.197 attack percentage, finishing with 19 attack errors.
