The Saskatchewan Huskies have reasserted their status as the team to beat in U SPORTS women’s basketball.
Falling to No. 2 last week after holding the top ranking since the beginning of the season, the idle Huskies (18-2) moved back up after the Ottawa Gee-Gees wrapped up the OUA season with back-to-back home defeats over the weekend. The Gee-Gees (18-4) lost to No. 7 Brock (17-5) on Friday 69-63, and defending U SPORTS champion McMaster (14-8) on Saturday 74-72, to slide to the No. 4 ranking.
In other U SPORTS rankings, UNB (men’s hockey) Concordia (women’s hockey), Carleton (men’s basketball), Trinity Western (men’s and women’s volleyball) and Guelph (men’s and women’s track and field) remain at No.1 for another week.
For the second straight season, U SPORTS is using the ELO Rating System for the calculation of its weekly national rankings. Powered by RankR, ELO’s unique algorithm blends a statistical calculation with customized variables that is adaptable across a range of sports. For more information, click here.
