Long a force in men’s hoops, Ravens a favourite for women’s basketball title
An undefeated season and a regional championship might satisfy some teams, but not the Carleton University women’s basketball team.
The Ravens will look to make history this weekend as they set their sights on the program’s first ever national title at the U Sports women’s basketball championship at the University of Regina.
For the second straight year the Ravens head into the tournament as the No. 1 seed with a perfect 23-0 regular season, 3-0 playoff record and a second consecutive Ontario University Athletic championship after defeating the McMaster Marauders 75-66 this past weekend.
Last year the Ravens won a bronze medal after losing to the McGill Martlets, the eventual winners, in the semifinal. While it was a great achievement Carleton was far from satisfied.
