The Storyline
No. 6 Humber women's soccer (7-3-0) will open the 2021 CCAA Championship tournament on Nov. 10 against the No. 3 SAIT Trojans (8-0-0). Kick-off is set for 3 p.m. EST and will be streamed live via the Hawks Sports Network on CCAA Live.
Final Farewell
Prior to the match, Humber will honour four graduating student-athletes: Rebecca Spratt, Giulia Zanardi, Vanessa Fiore, and Breanna Senfner. Combined, these graduates have played in 147 career caps for Humber.
Last Time Out
The Hawks made an improbable comeback in the OCAA bronze medal match, defeating No. 2 Seneca in overtime, 3-2. Rookie of the year Kaitlynn Russell buried two goals, including the game-winner, and senior Giulia Zanardi converted a penalty kick as time in regulation expired.

Final Four
In eight CCAA postseason appearances, the Hawks have reached the final four, five times.
Gotta Start Fast
