CIS TOP TEN TUESDAY (#17)
Ottawa men鈥檚 basketball, UBCO women鈥檚 volleyball back to No. 1
Jan. 19, 2016
OTTAWA (CIS) 鈥� The University of Ottawa men鈥檚 basketball team and University of British Columbia Okanagan women鈥檚 volleyball squad move back to No. 1 in this week鈥檚 CIS national rankings.
In other CIS sports, the Saskatchewan Huskies (women鈥檚 basketball), Guelph Gryphons (women鈥檚 hockey), Acadia Axemen (men鈥檚 hockey), UBC Thunderbirds (women鈥檚 swimming), Toronto Varsity Blues (men鈥檚 swimming), Western Mustangs (women鈥檚 track and field), Windsor Lancers (men鈥檚 track and field), McMaster Marauders (men鈥檚 volleyball) and Brock Badgers (women鈥檚 & men鈥檚 wrestling) all hold on to their pole position.
In men鈥檚 hoops, the Gee-Gees (8-0) overcame an eight-point deficit with five minutes left in regulation to edge Carleton (7-1) 75-73 on Saturday night at the Ravens鈥� Nest in the first of two regular season matchups between the cross-town rivals, who have met in the last two national finals.
Ottawa had topped the first five coaches鈥� polls of the campaign before dropping to No. 3 last Tuesday. Carleton falls back to No. 2 after climbing to the top a week ago.
The much anticipated rematch is set for Feb. 5 at the Canadian Tire Centre, where the Gee-Gees and Ravens will square off in the 10th annual MBNA Capital Hoops Classic. Last year鈥檚 event drew 10,780 fans, an all-time record for a CIS basketball league game.
In women鈥檚 volleyball, UBC Okanagan (15-1) moves up two positions following a two-game home sweep against the Alberta Pandas (13-3), who had been ranked No. 1 in six consecutive polls. Alberta drops to No. 3 this week behind Trinity Western (15-1).
The Heat, who had topped the first three polls of the campaign, beat the Pandas in four sets last Friday and 3-2 on Saturday, after erasing a two-set-to-one deficit.
UBCO will be tested again over the next two weekends as they host No. 9 UBC before travelling to Langley, B.C., to face the No. 2 Spartans.
