OCAA NUMBERS CRUNCH

TORONTO - A look at stats and figures from around the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA).

7 - Number of consecutive regular season wins by Centennial Colts in men's basketball. Centennial has already matched last season's win total with 13 more games remaining. Undefeated Centennial (7-0) hosts Algonquin (7-1) on Friday in a battle of the top two teams in the OCAA East region.

3.82 - Average number of kills per set by Cambrian left side Shawna Metcalf (Azilda, Ont.) in eight women's volleyball matches this season to lead OCAA. Metcalf is also averaging 4.5 points per set, only trailing teammate Kelsey Fielding (Sudbury, Ont.) who is averaging 4.6. Not surprisingly, Cambrian (8-0) has a perfect record this season.

1 - Ranking of Humber College men's golf team among Canadian colleges and universities as chosen by the Golf Coaches Association of Canada (GCAC). Humber is the defending OCAA, Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), and Canadian University/College Golf champions.

24 - Season-high total points in a game for Algonquin third-year forward Sandre Bascoe (Ottawa), having hit this mark three times so far during the 2011-12 women's basketball season. Most recently, Bascoe achieved the feat in back-to-back victories over George Brown and Georgian last weekend. She is one of two players averaging a double-double, including 12.5 points and 10.7 rebounds per contest.

30 - Minimum number of points scored in three straight men's basketball games by Durham guard Rob Gagliardi (Whitby, Ont.). Gagliardi scored a combined 99 points against Algonquin, La Cite and Fleming-Peterborough from Nov. 18 to 25. He is averaging 25.6 points per game to lead OCAA.

19 - Number of service aces by St. Clair second-year setter Josh Lynch (Windsor, Ont.) to lead OCAA. He is averaging 0.83 aces per set which also tops OCAA. St. Clair has struggled for wins in the first-half of the OCAA regular season, going 0-7.

2 - Number of regular season losses suffered by Sheridan Bruins in women's basketball in 2011-12. It will mark the first regular season Sheridan has suffered two or more losses since 2006-07 when the Bruins were 9-3. Sheridan (6-2) still remains one of the top teams in the West region, putting together a six-game win streak before its most recent loss.

24 - Number of offensive points by Redeemer left side Erika Straatsma (Brampton, Ont.) in a 3-1 (25-20, 25-27, 25-16, 25-14) women's volleyball victory over cross-town rival Mohawk on Wednesday.
