OCAA NUMBERS CRUNCH

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

0 - Number of 2011-12 regular season losses by Seneca (8-0) in women's basketball; Algonquin (10-0) and Nipissing (9-0) in men's volleyball; and Cambrian (10-0) and Humber (9-0) in women's volleyball. All five undefeated teams, along with the rest of the OCAA, will resume regular season play in January.

304 - Single season points record in OCAA men's volleyball set in 2000-01 by Seneca's Kanitha Boranprasit. With half of the 2011-12 regular season in the books, La Cite second-year player Keith Marier (Ottawa) and Humber third-year player Terrel Bramwell (Mississauga, Ont.) are on pace to demolish the milestone. Marier leads the OCAA with 196 points, followed closely by Bramwell's 187.

24.2 - Average number of points scored by Mohawk fifth-year guard Aminu Bello (Hamilton, Ont.) per game in OCAA men's basketball during the 2011-12 regular season. Bello leads all of OCAA in points per game average and total points. He is the only player to surpass 200 points, with 218 to his credit.

2 - Number of Cambrian women's volleyball players that top the OCAA leaders in points per set. Shawna Metcalf (Azilda, Ont.) currently leads the OCAA averaging 4.7 points per set, just ahead of teammate Kelsey Fielding (Sudbury, Ont.) who has a 4.5 average. Only four OCAA players are averaging 4.0 points or better.

913 - Number of career points scored by Durham fifth-year guard Erin Emery (White Rock, B.C.) in OCAA women's basketball. The all-time school leader in career points, Emery is just the fifth OCAA player to surpass 900 points. If Emery averages 10.9 points in her final eight regular season games, she will become just the third OCAA player to break the 1,000-point barrier.

1 - Number of sets lost by Algonquin in men's volleyball so far during 2011-12 OCAA regular season play. The Thunder have won 30 of the 31 sets it played in the fall semester. Three Algonquin players are averaging better than 3.0 offensive points per set, including Mike Adams (Barrie, Ont.), Alexandre Corsi Caya (Ottawa) and Joshua Harris (Kitchener, Ont.).

10 - Number of OCAA men's basketball teams with six or more regular season wins in 2011-12. Six of these teams reside in the OCAA West region, with one win separating the top three teams (Fanshawe, Humber and Niagara at 7-2) from the next three (Algoma, Mohawk and Sheridan at 6-3). Centennial (9-1), Algonquin (8-2), George Brown (7-3) and St. Lawrence-Kingston (6-4) make up the top four teams in the OCAA East region.

7 - Number of OCAA championships won by Humber during the 2011-12 fall semester. Humber repeated as provincial champions in men's golf, men's and women's soccer, and men's and women's rugby. Humber also won women's and overall team titles in cross country.
