The last regular season OCAA game for the Humber Hawks was on November 30, 2014, where they won on the road against the Knights 3-1. This match was closer than the scoreboard indicated and the Knights are excited to face the seven-time defending provincial champions once again.
Top scorers for Niagara in that match were Lucy McLay (Stratford) with 13 points, Alexandria Bothelho (Stoney Creek) with 12 points, and Nicole Schoonderwoerd (Tavistock) had ten points.
Humber was led offensively by Thalia Hanniman (Pembroke) with 17 kills and Brittany Vanderlaan (Stoney Creek) with 36 assists.
A win by Niagara College would end a streak of 75 consecutive OCAA regular and post-season matches.
