CIS TOP TEN TUESDAY (#8)
Changes at the top in women’s rugby, soccer, volleyball

OTTAWA (CIS) – There are a number of changes at the top in this week’s CIS national rankings, including in women’s rugby, soccer and volleyball.

In other CIS sports, Guelph (women’s & men’s cross country), McGill (women’s hockey), Alberta (men’s hockey & men’s volleyball) and York (men’s soccer) hold on to their No. 1 status this week, while Montreal (women) and Toronto (men) top the first rankings of the season in swimming.

In women’s rugby, the reigning CIS champion Alberta Pandas (3-1 season / 2-0 playoffs) move back to No. 1 after they successfully defended their Canada West title thanks to a 37-7 semifinal win over UBC and a 19-11 gold-medal victory against Calgary.

In the new Top 10, the Pandas move past StFX (6-0) and McMaster (4-0-1 / 2-0), who drop one position apiece to No. 2 and No. 3. 

In women’s soccer, the Ottawa Gee-Gees (15-1-0) grab the pole position after they wrapped up league play with three wins in five days, including a convincing 4-0 win over UOIT on Saturday to avenge their only loss of the regular schedule.

In the latest coaches’ poll, the Gee-Gees move ahead of the reigning two-time CIS champ Trinity Western Spartans (10-1-1), who fall to second place.

In women’s volleyball, the new team to beat is also Alberta, which is off to a 3-1 start in Canada West action. Trinity Western (3-1) drops to No. 2 behind the new leaders.
