Ravens basketball wins big
The Carleton Ravens men’s basketball team recorded their first win of the season Oct. 2, defeating the St. Lawrence Vikings 79-41 at the Ravens’ Nest.
Although the victory snaps their three-game losing streak to National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) opponents, the Ravens still have a long way to go, according to veteran guard Mike Kenny.
“Our last couple games, we took a couple steps backwards so I think this game was decent — we might have taken at least one step forward,” Kenny said.
Wasslen gets eighth consectutive shutout
Starting the season with eight consecutive shutouts is an impressive feat in itself for Carleton Ravens men’s soccer goalkeeper Karl Wasslen.
Even more impressive, Wasslen’s strong start to the season comes after spending a year away from the game due to injury. If that isn’t enough, those who know Wasslen solely through his soccer success find it hard to digest the fact that the 26-year-old shot-stopper has a wife and two kids, he said.
Men’s soccer remains undefeated
Coming off an exciting goalless draw against the Ryerson University Rams Oct. 2, the Ravens kept their undefeated — and shutout — streaks alive with another 0–0 tie the following afternoon against the Varsity Blues.
Ravens head coach Sandy Mackie said he was happy with the team’s performance but disappointed that they couldn’t score a winner.
With the result, Carleton increases their shutout streak to 720 minutes to start the season.
