CIS TOP TEN TUESDAY (#12)
McGill reclaims lead in women's hockey

OTTAWA (CIS) – The game of musical chairs continues in women's hockey this week as the reigning national champion McGill Martlets are back atop the rankings after dropping to No. 2 behind archrival Montreal last Tuesday.

In other CIS sports, the UBC Thunderbirds retake the lead in men's swimming, while Windsor (women's basketball), Carleton (men's basketball), UBC (women's swimming) and Alberta (men's hockey, women's volleyball & men's volleyball) all hold on to their pole position.

In women's hockey, a week after McGill was upset 1-0 by Concordia, it was the Carabins' turn to suffer an unexpected loss, a 4-3 setback on home ice against Ottawa on Sunday.

For their part, the Martlets beat Carleton 6-2 in their lone outing of the past week to improve to 5-1 in league play.
