Game in Review: Queen's Gaels vs. McMaster Marauders Men

Saturday February 12, 2011

Queen’s University Athletics and Recreation Centre

Queen’s Gaels vs. McMaster Marauders

As the Men’s OUA regular season entered the last week of play, Queen’s and McMaster were separated by a single win. A win for McMaster would mean a three-way tie for second place overall between Queens, McMaster, and Guelph. All three teams would be guaranteed home court advantage in the first round, but come the second round those ranks will determine who gets to host a game in the final four (should those teams win their first round match-ups).

Queen’s right-side player 5 Joren Zeeman was coming off a career-high 30 points last weekend, and had been nominated Queen’s Athlete of the Week because of it. McMaster would have to keep Zeeman in check if they were to expect to come out of Kingston with a road victory. The last time the two teams met, the Marauders managed to stifle him and walk out with the victory. But that was in Hamilton.

Game in Review: Mens Queen's Gael's vs. York Lions

Queen’s Gaels vs. York Lions

The Men’s OUA season is winding down, with only a couple games left for each team in the regular season. Only seven teams make the Men’s playoffs, and there is a large build-up of teams fighting for the final spot. The York Lions are one of those teams. Laurier sits in the last playoff spot, but Ryerson and Toronto both are between the Lions and that seventh place. On Sunday, they came up against one of the OUA’s strongest teams in the Queen’s Gaels. If they wanted to prove themselves, this was one of their final opportunities.

The game started quickly, as Queen’s enforced their blocking game early. Gaels’ 13 Michael Amoroso, while solidifying the middle block, also came through with a powerful quick early on. York responded with their own middle, 2 Felipe Humana-Paredes, hitting a quick right back.

Game in Review: Womens Queen's Gael's vs. York Lions

Queen's Gael's vs. York Lions

On Sunday February 6th, the Queen’s Gaels and York Lions met to decide the top of the Women’s OUA. Going in, York had a slight advantage. However, if Queen’s were to win then the two teams would sport the exact same record with only a week left before playoffs. This was a clash of OUA powerhouses, and will likely be a preview to these teams meeting later in the playoff season.

Before the game, the York Lions honoured their graduating players. Their captain, 10 Sarah Sutton, and also 14 Sarah Holloway were both presented flowers and a framed recognition of their accomplishments. The incredible thing is that Holloway began her university career on the York basketball team before deciding to entirely change her athletic path. After the kind ceremony, the games got underway.

The Week in Review: Women's OUA Jan 26, 28-30, 2011

Photo: Cameron Dunlop, McMaster AthleticsThis weekend saw the OUA make the final turn onto the home stretch of the regular season in women's volleyball.  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.

CIS Top 10 Update Shows OUA Presence

The McMaster Marauders have been on a tear of late, beating Western, Queen's, and competing against NCAA teams (photo courtesy of McMaster.ca)

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.
