Women's Game Recap
The Queen's Gaels travelled to Toronto to play the Ryerson Rams this afternoon in OUA volleyball action. The Rams got off to a terrible start down 7-1 in the first set. Of Queen's first seven points, six of them were Ryerson errors: four balls hit into the net, a double touch and a net touch.

Its looking like Western is going to hold onto the first seed and get themselves a bye into the second round leaving the remaining six teams to fight it out on February 19th in the OUA Quarter Finals.

With only two weeks of games remaining, playoff spots are almost completely locked in. York, Queen's and Ottawa have secured playoff spots. Although home court advantage is far from locked with two points separating these first three teams, the real fight in the east division is for the fourth and final playoff spot.
RMC and Toronto are both tied with 10 points after this weekend. Toronto has three games remaining to RMC's four. Whoever wins the most games from here on in will secure the final playoff spot in the OUA east. Both teams play their final regular season game on February 13th.

The most recent standings are out for the CIS men’s overall top 10. From the table we saw before the break, there are some noteworthy changes. To begin, the standings are decided through a complex series of calculations. They involve judging a team based on how they perform at home and on the road, their opponents’ records, their opponents’ opponents’ records, and how recent any wins came. Of course, each of those aspects are given only a certain percentage of worth. In the end, the CIS comes out with a top 10 they feel is justified.
