SCOUTING SHERIDAN
- After a good 3-2 start, the Bruins have cooled off and are in the midst of a four game losing streak
- With two teams struggling at the bottom of the division with a single win between the two teams, Sheridan is comfortably in apposition to advance, but they are looking to move up and hopefully be in a position to host a cross-over playoff game
- Statistically, they sit in the middle to low of the pack of most team categories, topping out in the 12th spot in a few categories, but dropping off considerably in others. This comes to light quickly in their blocking numbers, placing 19th among the 20 teams in block and blocks per set average
BRUINS – BY THE NUMBERS
- Points per Set Average – Parvir Jhajj (3.9)
- Kills – Parvir Jhajj (59)
- Assists – Po-an Chien (225)
- Service Aces – Liam Butcherreit (13)
- Digs – Liam Butcherreit (64)
- Blocks – Marcus Ahmadzai (10)
HAWK NOTES
- Humber needs to produce a second half similar to the first, to put itself in a solid position moving into the playoffs, and hopefully a better path to the championship games. Two OCAA teams will advance to the CCAA Nationals this year
- Five of the Hawks final nine games will be on home court, including two in three days to open up the second half
- Humber will play in the York University Invitational on January 4-6/19
- As a team, the Hawk rank in the top half of most categories, topping out at third in kills and assist per set, and hitting percentage, but fall off considerably in blocks and blocks per set (16th)
HAWKS – BY THE NUMBERS
- Points Per Set Average – Rafael Hilario (4.1)
- Kills – Kamyn Wilkins (92)
