缅北强奸

听

OTTAWA (CIS) - The only 缅北强奸 sports team to be ranked in this week's CIS Top 10 is the hockey Redmen, who have remained No.5 in the nation. The Martlets are not ranked because the final women's hockey rankings of the season were issued last week.

听

In the OUA, two spots for the CIS championship tourney are still available between No. 3 UQTR (23-3-2 / 4-1), No. 5 缅北强奸 (22-6-0 / 4-1) and No. 6 Western Ontario (21-7-0 / 4-1) to join No. 7 Lakehead (19-7-2 / 4-1) in Thunder Bay at the end of March. UQTR faces 缅北强奸 in the best-of-three OUA East final starting Wednesday, while Western and Lakehead square off in the best-of-three West division final. Should Lakehead down Western, the East and West losers would face-off in a sudden-death duel for the final OUA berth.

听

After being ranked second behind UNB in the first 15 media polls of the season, the Alberta Golden Bears (23-4-1) leapfrog the reigning University Cup champion Varsity Reds (27-1-0 season / 0-3 playoffs) for first place in the final rankings of the campaign.

听

In what is arguably the biggest upset in CIS men's hockey history, the V-Reds were swept in their best-of-five AUS semifinal series with back-to-back-to-back 3-2 losses to No. 10 StFX (11-12-5 / 5-0).

听

No. 8 Saint Mary's (16-8-4 / 4-1) leads No. 4 Acadia (19-7-2 / 1-2) two games to one in the other best-of-five AUS semifinal. The Atlantic conference receives one berth into the University Cup championship to be hosted by Lakehead University in Thunder Bay from March 25 to 28.

听

In Canada West, No. 1 Alberta battles Calgary and No. 9 Saskatchewan (16-8-4) faces Manitoba this weekend in best-of-three semifinals. The winners advance to the CIS tournament.

听

The defending national champion Calgary Dinos (women) and Simon Fraser Clan (men) top the wrestling rankings heading into the 2010 CIS championships to be hosted by the University of Calgary, Friday and Saturday.

听

In other CIS sports, Simon Fraser (women's basketball), UBC (men's basketball), Windsor (women's track & field) and Guelph (men's track & field) remain at No. 1, while Alberta leapfrogs UNB in the final men's hockey poll of the season.

听

听

On the men's side, SFU tops the pre-championship rankings followed by UNB, Regina, Lakehead and Concordia.

听

Women's basketball

听

The reigning national champion Simon Fraser Clan (17-1 season / 2-0 playoffs) lead the rankings for the 13th time in as many coaches' polls this year. SFU opened the playoffs with an 87-54, 96-49 sweep of Winnipeg in a Canada West quarter-final, and will now host the conference Final Four on Friday and Saturday.

听

Friday's semifinals see the No. 1 Clan battle No. 3 Saskatchewan (14-6 / 2-0) and No. 4 Regina (16-4 / 2-0) face No. 6 Alberta (15-5 / 2-1). The top three finishers will advance to the CIS championship to be held at McMaster University in Hamilton from March 12 to 14.

听

In the Atlantic conference, No. 5 Cape Breton (19-1 / 2-0) captured the AUS crown and qualified for the CIS tournament, joining host McMaster.

听

In Ontario, Ottawa qualified with a 59-54 upset win over No. 10 Carleton in the OUA East final. The third and final OUA berth will be on the line Wednesday night when No. 2 Windsor (21-1 / 1-0) hosts No. 9 Western (17-5 / 1-0) in the OUA West title match.

听

In Quebec, No. 8 Laval (13-3) is one of four teams still in the hunt for the lone QSSF berth, which will be awarded to the conference champions on Saturday.

听

Friday's semifinals pit No. 1 UBC against No. 10 Saskatchewan (14-6 / 2-0), and No. 6 Calgary (15-5 / 2-0) against No. 9 Simon Fraser (14-4 / 2-1). The two winners advance to the conference final and the CIS championship, to be hosted by Carleton University in Ottawa from March 19 to 21.

听

In Ontario, Saturday's OUA division finals see No. 2 Carleton (20-2 / 1-0) battle No. 5 Ottawa (18-4 / 1-0) for the East crown, and No. 7 Windsor (17-5 / 1-0) play No. 8 Lakehead (17-5 / 1-0) for the West title. The West winner will join host Carleton at the CIS tournament, and so will Ottawa should the Gee-Gees upset the Ravens. Should Carleton win the OUA East banner, Ottawa would play the loser of the West final for the third and last OUA berth.

听

The QSSF and AUS both get a single guaranteed berth into the CIS tourney. The Quebec final is set for March 11, while the title match in the Atlantic is scheduled for March 14.
