SPORTS Learning to fly all over again

by Jeff Allen Volleyball Reporter

At last Saturday's Humber Cup, the women's volleyball team learned v/hat Coach Dave Hood called "another lesson." However, the Hawks may soon

flunk. The team played uninspired volleyball for most of the day, which was the main source of concern for Hood. "We made bad choices, lazy choices," Hood said. "When you start diving for balls that should be easy passing shots, then there's concern." The Hawks opened the tourna- ment against Durham College, and promptly dropped their first game 15-5, 15-6. The Hawks hit balls into the net, missed sets, and failed to consistently get their serve in Durham's side of the court. The Hawks were determined

to come out strong in their sec- ond match against the^Cambrian Golden Shield. But the Hawks got a bad break when they were penalized for being out of rota- tion. Coach Hood said the rota- tion call was his fault caused by a change to the line-up. Instead of being tied l-l, the Hawk power Brenda Ramos (#4) goes up for a kill during round robin play at the Humber Cup tournament on the weekend.
