Marquee Matchups

Capilano Blues vs. Douglas Royals
PACWEST WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
November 29 @ 6 pm PT

The Capilano Blues (5-1) and Douglas Royals (4-2) are both riding four game win streaks heading into their matchup this weekend. The Blues are second in the conference and ranked 11^th in the CCAA while the Royals are in third in the PACWEST and No. 15 in the country. While a win may establish their ranking heading into the break, the teams will face-off in a double-header when play resumes in January

Olds Broncos vs. Briercrest Clippers
ACAC WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
November 29 @ 6 pm MT

The ACAC South has two teams ranked in the Top-5 of the CCAA and they square off this weekend. The CCAA Championship defending Olds Broncos (7-1) head into Saskatchewan to face the red-hot Briercrest Clippers (5-2). Both teams initially slipped in the rankings, but the Broncos have earned their way back up to No. 2, while the Clippers (whose only losses have been forfeits) have skyrocketed back up to No. 5.

*PUC Pilots vs. ACC Cougars
MCAC MEN'S VOLLEYBALL
November 29 @ 6 pm CT

In a battle for second place in the MCAC Standings, the Providence Pilots (4-1) visit the Assiniboine Cougars (4-4). The Cougars have won their last two matches while the Pilots are on a four-game win streak after opening the season with a loss. This will be the third time these two have met this year, with PUC claiming victories in both of those earlier encounters.

Canadore Panthers vs. Durham Lords
OCAA WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL
November 30 @ 1 pm ET

The Canadore Panthers (6-1) are having a great first half to the season but a match against the East leading Durham Lords (7-0) will be a real test. The mighty Lords are ranked No. 6 in the CCAA and the Panthers would love nothing more than to snap their undefeated record. Canadore has lost only three sets all season which is second best in the OCAA behind only Fanshawe (CCAA No. 4) and their opponents this weekend.

While the other conferences are wrapping-up most of their play this weekend, the RSEQ will cap its first half with a big men’s volleyball matchup next weekend. The Griffons de l’Outaouais (9-2) will host the Volontaires de Sherbrooke (6-2) in a first vs. second place battle. While the Griffons are currently No. 4 in the country, Sherbrooke has been rising steadily the past few weeks and are now No. 8 in the CCAA and have the opportunity to climb even higher.

The Holland Hurricanes (3-1) have been the team to beat for several seasons in the ACAA, but it looks like they may have some challengers for the title this year. Coming off a recent loss to the Mounties (CCAA No. 13), the Hurricanes are on the road this weekend against the second place Crandall Chargers (4-2). However, Holland’s league leading defense won’t make it easy for the high scoring Chargers to break through the ranks.
