Carleton looks to continue undefeated run against visiting Rams

It’s the second and final regular season matchup between the top two nationally-ranked teams in the country. The No. 2 Ryerson Rams men’s basketball team will be traveling to Ottawa to take on the undefeated No. 1 Carleton Ravens and No.6 Ottawa Gee-Gees. In their first meeting earlier this month, the Ravens defeated the Rams 76-69 at the Mattamy Athletic Centre. Since the loss to Carleton, the Rams have won five straight, while the Ravens continue to look dominant averaging the most points (90.4) and assists (18.7) in the OUA. A meeting at the Ravens’ nest this Saturday between these two rivals should definitely be another thriller.

Similar to the men’s squad, the No. 6 Gee-Gees and No. 8 Ravens women’s basketball teams will also be battling the red-hot Rams. With this being the final regular season game against one another, where Carleton won their first matchup away 78-70, the pressure is on for the Ravens to come out victorious again and sweep Ryerson, who are currently on a five-game winning streak. You can catch all the action beginning at 6:00 p.m. ET/ 3:00 p.m. PT for the women and 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT on both Friday and Saturday on OUA.TV.

Volleyball

Lower mainland rivalry on tap this weekend

The Lower Mainland rivalry continues this weekend as UBC and Trinity Western volleyball programs collide. On the men's side, it's a rematch of last year's national final but this time, the standings look much different, at least for UBC. The reigning national champion Thunderbirds are on the hunt for one of the final Canada West playoff spots. The team currently sits in ninth place in the conference standings at 6-10, and need to make it up to at least eighth in the next three weekends. That said, they are riding a more positive streak as of late, with two straight set sweeps last weekend against UBC Okanagan. Trinity Western (11-3) is up in fourth place, but still have not clinched their playoff spot.

On the women's side, the No.1-ranked Spartans (16-0) sit at the top of the Canada West table and have clinched their playoff spot already. UBC (11-7), meanwhile is in fourth and coming off two straight set sweeps last weekend just like their men's counterparts. First serve flies for the women at 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT on Friday, followed by the men at 11:00 p.m. ET / 8:00 p.m. PT. On Saturday the action start an hour earlier at 10:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. PT. All games on CanadaWest.TV.
