听
OTTAWA (CIS) - There are no changes for McGill this week in the CIS national rankings, as the Martlets and Redmen hockey teams remain No.1 and No.2, respectively. Also, the men's swim team has retained its No.5-ranking.

As far as other changes, the University of Guelph Gryphons grabbed the pole position in women's track and field. In other CIS sports, Regina (women's basketball and men's wrestling), Carleton (men's basketball), McGill (women's hockey), UNB (men's hockey), Calgary (women's swimming), Dalhousie (men's swimming), Guelph (men's track and field), UBC (women's volleyball), Trinity Western (men's volleyball) and Alberta (women's wrestling) all maintain their No. 1 status.

In women's hockey, McGill (12-1-0) and Olympic gold medallist Charline Labont茅 posted a pair of shutout wins last weekend, 4-0 over Concordia and 5-0 versus No. 10 Montreal. The Martlets host Carleton (4-4-3) on Sunday.

In men's hockey, the top-three ranked teams all lost, so there are no major shifts. UNB (13-3-2) holds on to the No. 1 spot despite a rare winless weekend. The Varsity Reds lost 2-1 at No. 10 Saint Mary's on Friday and 5-4 in a shootout at StFX on Saturday. The University Cup champs hope to get back in the win column this weekend when they face No. 7 Moncton (12-6-0) and UPEI (11-7-0). McGill remains No.2 despite splitting their two games, winning 5-0 at RMC, then losing 4-3 at Toronto. The Western Ontario Mustangs slipped to No.4, however, after splitting their two contests. They lost 2-1 at Brock and bounced back with a 5-2 victory over Windsor.

In women's basketball, top-ranked Regina easily improved to 11-0 in conference play with a pair of road wins over Manitoba, 84-60 and 105-52. The Cougars are back on home court this weekend to face No. 10 Fraser Valley (9-3) and Trinity Western (6-6).

In men's hoops, Carleton (12-0) also remained perfect in regular season action with road victories against Ryerson, 87-56, and Toronto, 98-64.

In women's volleyball, UBC easily handled visiting Thompson Rivers and improved to 11-1 in Canada West action with a pair of straight-set victories. The Thunderbirds should be tested later this week when they host No. 5 Manitoba (9-3) for a Friday-Saturday doubleheader.

In men's volleyball, Trinity Western (12-0) made a statement on home court last weekend, defeating No. 3 Alberta 3-1 and 3-0. The Spartans host No. 10 Winnipeg (6-8) on Friday and Saturday.
