Meeting the rookies: Devan Bruce
The Charlatan (TC): What is your best soccer memory so far?
Devan Bruce (DB): My best soccer memory so far has to be losing in the high school city championships this past year. The other team tied the game with 30 seconds to go and we ended up losing in a shootout.
Ravens women draw against Ottawa U
Throngs of Carleton supporters silenced the home crowd and helped the Ravens women’s soccer team secure a 1-1 draw against crosstown rivals the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees Sept. 11 at Matt Anthony Field.
Although the Ravens managed to earn a point against the fifth-ranked women’s soccer team in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) — on their own turf at that — the draw prolongs Carleton’s 16-season drought, in which the Ravens have yet to produce a win against the Gee-Gees in regular season play.
Sibling rivalry benefits Skinner family
In high school, Erica Skinner’s younger brother, Jeff, used to take part in her hockey practices and it really bothered the Carleton Ravens fourth-year defenceman to watch a once nationally-ranked figure skater show up everyone on her team.
“He was such a pest!” said Skinner even now. “He was just so much better than everybody else.”
Like her elder sisters before her, Skinner, 22, had made the transition from ringette to figure skating before eventually settling on hockey. Faithfully, Jeff, 18, followed suit.
Meeting the rookies: Jennifer Tutton
The Charlatan (TC): What is your best soccer memory so far?
Jennifer Tutton (JT): I have so many great soccer memories with my soccer teams from back home, but one of my best and most memorable personal accomplishments was being scouted into the National Training Center in 2005.
TC: Why did you come to Carleton University?
Ravens fall to 0-3 in pre-season
What started out as a close game Sept. 4 soon turned sour as the Carleton Ravens men’s basketball team lost their third straight preseason game to an American opponent —this time falling 87-70 to the Cincinnati Bearcats in the CAN-AM Shootout at Scotiabank Place.
Both teams exchanged baskets in the opening stages of the first quarter, until Cincinnati’s Rashid Bishop knocked down a three-pointer, shifting the momentum towards the Bearcats.
