OTTAWA -- Three 平特五不中 varsity teams are ranked in this week's CIS Top 10 media poll, including both hockey teams and the Redmen swim team, which is No.9.
听
In women's hockey, the Martlets remained as the No.1 ranked team in the nation. They improved to 12-0 in regular season action over the past weekend with a 6-1 home victory over Ottawa and a 3-0 win at Concordia. The Martlets also had an impressive showing at the Bison Holiday Classic in Winnipeg over Christmas with non-conference wins over No. 4 Manitoba, 5-0, No. 5 Alberta, 3-0, and Saskatchewan, 9-2. The Martlets have a bye in their schedule this week.
听
In men's hockey, 平特五不中 is still the No.3 team after road wins at Ottawa (3-2 OT) and Concordia (6-2). The Redmen will host Carleton on Friday in the annual Winter Carnival game, which is expected to be a sell-out at McConnell Arena.
听
The UNB Varsity Reds (13-4-0) moved up one spot past the Alberta Golden Bears (12-2-2). Alberta had topped the first eight national rankings of the season. The No. 1 V-Reds dominated Dalhousie 5-0 and Acadia 6-0 last weekend as the regular season resumed in the AUS. Over the holidays, UNB beat No. 3 平特五不中 7-1 in non-conference action and split a two-game series against Providence of the NCAA, winning 3-1 and losing 1-0.
听
In other CIS sports, Carleton (men's basketball), UBC (women's volleyball), Laval (men's volleyball) and Calgary (women's & men's swimming) all hold on to their No. 1 rankings, while UNB (men's hockey), Saskatchewan (women's basketball), Calgary (women's track and field) and Ottawa (men's track and field) are new national leaders this week.
听
Women's basketball
The Saskatchewan Huskies, who had the best season in program history a year ago when they claimed the bronze medal at the CIS championship, move up one position to No. 1 in the new national coaches' poll to overtake the Windsor Lancers, who had topped five of the six weekly rankings during the fall semester and now drop to No. 2.
听
Saskatchewan (10-2) has kept a perfect 4-0 overall record since the final rankings of the fall semester were released on Dec. 7. The Huskies scored non-conference wins over McMaster, 92-51, and No. 4 Regina, 67-59, over the holiday season, before resuming Canada West play last weekend with a pair of convincing wins at Brandon, 82-36 and 79-33.
听
The new CIS leaders are in the middle of a tight battle in the Canada West standings. No. 5 Alberta (12-2) leads the way with 24 points, No. 8 Victoria (11-3) has 22, while the Huskies, Regina (10-2) and Winnipeg (10-2) have 20 apiece.
听
Meanwhile in Ontario, the Western Ontario Mustangs (9-1) won the battle for top spot in the OUA West last Wednesday in London topping visiting Windsor (8-2) 57-54. Western, which also beat McMaster 89-39 on Saturday, climbs one spot to No. 3 in the new national poll, while Windsor, which rebounded on Saturday with a 84-56 defeat of Brock, drops to No. 2.
听
Men's basketball
No. 1 Carleton (10-0) resumed OUA play over the weekend with convincing home wins over Ryerson, 89-64, and No. 9 Toronto, 93-73. The Ravens are the only undefeated team in the country in conference action.
听
Women's volleyball
The top-ranked and three-time reigning CIS champion Thunderbirds (8-2) have not taken the court since the last Top 10 of the fall semester was released on Nov. 30. UBC resumes Canada West play this weekend with a Friday-Saturday doubleheader in Calgary against the No. 8 Dinos (5-3).
听
Men's volleyball
No. 1 Laval (10-0) resumes RSEQ conference play on Friday with a visit to Montreal. The Rouge et Or travelled to California over the holidays and kept a 1-3 mark against top NCAA teams, including a four-set win over Long Beach State.
