Men's volleyball team ready for the start of regular season
The men's volleyball team is
ready for the start of the regular
season and ready to start winning.
They travelled to a Humber tournament
from October 28 to 29, where
they played strongly, giving the
team a great chance to play together
and to scope out some of the
competition.
The men played a very strong Mohawk team, losing in the third set. The team looked and played solid the whole game with the hitting and defense looking very sharp. Players are starting to learn how to play with each other in a very successful way, which in turn, is giving the Falcons a very positive look at the season to come.
The Falcons also played Redeemer in the tournament, who they played for their first regular season game on November 3. This game was very important to the men as everyone wants to start the regular season off strong, but as of November 1, the team was feeling very confident about the game, having already played and beat Redeemer.
Sam Cullis, a senior player on the team, said, "We beat Redeemer in the tournament and we looked great. We were hitting the ball with lots of power and accuracy and we were blocking like mad out there. The team is looking to be a defensive threat out there this year with a very strong blocking team and strong return team."
The men played the opposite zone in this tournament (the Falcons are east conference and were playing the teams from the west conference), which gave them a very good chance to test out a couple games before the regular season begins.
With the team players and coaches feeling this year could be a surprise year, catching a lot of teams off guard, it will make for an exciting volleyball season, so remember to come down and support your Falcons whenever you can. Check tinyurl.com/mensvball2011 for their full schedule.
