The Carleton Ravens women’s hockey team ended the first half of their season on a winning note with a 3-0 win over the Concordia Stingers Nov. 26 at the Ice House.

“We were really happy with the team effort,” said Ravens head coach Shelley Coolidge. “It started in net with Tamber Tisdale, who had a very strong game for us.”

The sophomore goaltender stopped all 34 shots she faced, earning her first shutout in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) hockey.

The Carleton Ravens women’s basketball team returned to top form Nov. 25-26 as they edged past the University of Guelph Gryphons before thumping the Lakehead Thunderwolves the following night.

Despite some poor defence and a lack of drive, the Ravens came out with a 81-71 win over the Gryphons Nov. 25 in Guelph, Ont.

“We did score a lot of points but we weren’t focused on defence and we gave up way too many points,” said Ravens head coach Taffe Charles.

Heartbreak was the theme as the Carleton Ravens men’s hockey team blew a three-goal lead en route to a 4-3 overtime loss at the hands of the University of Toronto Varsity Blues Nov. 25.

The loss was the Ravens’ last away game of the calendar year, leaving them with a 3-3-1 road record in 2011.

“I think we can do better,” said forward Joe Pleckaitis. “I think we can still improve in many spots of our game, and I think we’re still top contenders in this league.”
