HUMBER WINS OCAA MEN'S RUGBY SEMIFINAL

MARKHAM, Ont. - The Humber Hawks men's rugby have advanced to their fifth consecutive OCAA men's rugby gold medal game, as they defeated the Seneca Sting by a score of 39-0 on Sunday.

Humber will now play the Mohawk Mountaineers for the OCAA title on Sunday, Nov. 14 at Fletcher's Field in Markham. These two teams faced each other in the 2009 final, with Mohawk winning on the last play of the game. Kick-off is at 11:30 a.m.

The game, which was played at Seneca, saw Humber dominate the entire affair. In fact the Hawks pinned Seneca early on three separate occasions and if not for penalties could have won by an even bigger margin.

Although they did not score, Mike Muto and national program team member Tyler Allen were the two best players on the field on the the day.

Ed Donnelly led Humber with two tries for 10 points. The five other players to score tries were Nathan Le, Preston Boyce, Andrew Petricca, Paul Harding and Greg Giliauskas. Phil Boone contributed two converts, for four points.

Seneca had defeated the Hawks earlier in the season by a score of 18-15. Humber was undermanned on that day, due to injuries and team discipline.
