The Humber varsity men’s indoor soccer team is off to a great start in its quest for consecutive OCAA championships, as the Hawks won the Centennial College Invitational, in Vaughan.
The Hawks scored three late goals to defeat the University of Guelph 3-0 in the tournament final.
Second year defenceman Marcelo Capozzolo, selected as the tournament’s most valuable player, said the Hawks remained composed during the very competitive final.
“We kept our heads pretty cool, we were confident in our strikers to put the game away,” he said.
The Hawks were dominant for most of the Jan. 16 tournament, earning a perfect 6-0 record and outscoring their opponents 17-2.
Assistant coach Michael Aquino attributed the success to strong positional play.
“We talked to them about keeping it very disciplined defensively and when we got our opportunity to move forward there were bound to be opportunities, because it’s such a small field,” said Aquino.
“We’re a well-rounded team right now. I wouldn’t say anyone’s stronger than the other, they all complement each other quite well.”
Capozzolo agreed. “We played good as a team and strong defensively,” he said.
Team captain Andrew DaSilva said the Hawks did enough to win the tournament but must continue to improve.
“Communication and having confidence in each other, I think we lack that. We try to do the easy things when we know we can do better,” said DaSilva. “Hopefully everyone encourages, everyone motivates and then we’ll get there. Like they say, practice makes perfect.”
Next up for the men is the Sheridan College Soccer Invitational Feb. 20, in Brampton.
