OTTAWA (CIS) – Four teams move to the top of CIS national
rankings this week including UBC in women’s volleyball, Laval
in men’s volleyball, Windsor in women’s basketball and
Toronto in men’s swimming.
Meanwhile, Carleton (men’s basketball), McGill (women’s
hockey), Alberta (men’s hockey) and Calgary (women’s
swimming) all remain in pole position in their respective sports,
while Calgary (women) and UNB (men) are No. 1 in the first
wrestling rankings of the season.
In women’s volleyball, the Thunderbirds (6-2) travelled to
Winnipeg and swept a two-game series over the Manitoba Bisons
(4-3), who were No. 1 before the duels. UBC moves up five spots in
the new Top 10 following a straight-set win and a 3-1 victory.
In men’s volleyball, the undefeated Rouge et Or (9-0) are up
one position to No. 1 following three wins in three outings versus
AUS rivals in interlock play, including a 3-1 success against No. 8
Dalhousie. Meanwhile, formerly top-ranked Alberta falls to No. 2
after a weekend split with No. 3 Trinity Western that included a
straight-set loss.
In women’s basketball, the Lancers (5-1) return to the top
after falling to No. 2 a week ago. Windsor moves up thanks to
convincing wins over Ottawa, 81-58, and No. 7 Carleton, 68-48, but
also to a lopsided 23-point loss (72-49) by former No. 1 Victoria
at the hands of No. 3 Regina.
In men’s basketball, the top-ranked Ravens (6-0) kept rolling
over the past weekend with dominating road victories against
Western, 91-66, and No. 8 Windsor, 78-59.
In women’s hockey, the Martlets (7-0) and Olympic gold
medalist Charline Labonté blanked Ottawa 3-0 in their lone
outing of the past week. Labonté improved to 54-1 in
conference play for her career including 33 shutouts, which ties
her for first all-time with current Laurier goalie Liz Knox.
In men’s hockey, the Golden Bears (10-1-1) held on to the
pole position despite dropping a point to archrival Saskatchewan
during a two-game set in Edmonton. Alberta claimed the opener 6-4
on Friday before losing 4-3 in overtime to the No. 6 Huskies on
Saturday.
