The final score of the first set was 25-20 for Humber.
Captain Thalia Hanniman is still out on injury, but has been watching very closely to help the team improve, "We need to work on starting the game off strong, and getting the intensity going right from the start. We always finish well, but if we want to be successful at the next level we need to be working right from the start." said Hanniman.
Humber passed well better during the second set and served much tougher allowing Cambrian to give them more free balls and giving Humber an opportunity to transition their free balls.
Near the end of the second set starting libero Kyla Wilkins left the game on injury and the Hawks had to finish strong.
The second set had a final score of 25-18.
With a slightly different lineup the Hawks came out strong in the third set and Cambrian called a time out at 5-0 for Humber.
