The Mohawk Mountaineers came into the OCAA Provincial Championship
Tournament as the favourite, based on their # 1 seeding and 13-0
league record. They did not disappoint as they rolled to their
first men’s volleyball title since the 1981-82 season.
The Mountaineers picked up their opening match over the Seneca
Sting 3-1 (North York) with set scores of 20-25, 25-21, 11-25 and
21-25. Kevin Watson led his Mountaineers squad with a 17-point
offensive performance (16 kills, 1 ace). In the semi-final match
the Mountaineers picked up a close 3-2 (25-19, 21-25, 22-25, 25-16,
7-15) victory over the Algonquin Thunder (Ottawa) led by Brent
Carter’s 22-points (17 kills, 2 block, 3 aces).
In the finals the Hamilton based club faced the # 3 seeded Durham
College “Lords” from Oshawa. Mohawk jumped out in front
and took the first set, but they were taken by surprise in the
second as Durham dominated in a 25-16 win. The skill and
determination of the Mountaineers took over and they took the next
two sets to close out the tournament as the top team on the podium.
Set scores were 21-25, 25-16, 22-25 and 18-25.
All Star Adam Schiedel led the way offensively for the Lords as he
made 14 kills and 3 service aces for 16 offensive points. Josh
Bowen joined in on the accolades as he was selected as the Durham
“Player of the Game”.
The Most Valuable Player of the Men’s side was Mohawk’s
Brett Carter. All you have to do is look at his stats for the final
game as he posted 15 kills, 2 stuff blocks and 2 service aces for
19 points. Steve Pawelczky stood out and was selected as the
Mountaineer “Player of the Game”.
Mohawk will now represent Ontario at the Canadian Colleges Athletic
Association National Championship Tournament that will take place
in Quebec in two weeks.
