The cool, damp weather conditions seemed to easily reflect the mood on the field as the Carleton women’s varsity soccer team closed their regular season with a 2-0 loss to the Queen’s University Golden Gaels at Keith Harris Stadium Oct. 24.

The Gaels offence kept play in the Raven’s end of the field for the majority of the first half, scoring eight minutes into the game. 

Yet Ravens goalkeeper Rachel Bedek held her own, making spectacular saves on a number of occasions.

Carleton’s varsity rowing team put on a solid performance at the Ontario University Athletics rowing championships Oct. 24, hosted by Brock University.

Despite cold, windy weather and some sick players, the Ravens had some strong races. 

Outstanding players included Kent Mamen, who claimed fourth place in the men’s singles, and Elise Damoiseaux, who placed sixth in the women’s singles.    

The Carleton women’s soccer team advances to the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) East semifinals after defeating the Nipissing Lakers 2-1 in North Bay.

The Lakers came out strong in the first half, with striker Kim Tait scoring the first half’s lone goal, putting it past Ravens goalkeeper Rachel Bedek.

The second half saw a stronger Ravens team with veteran midfielder Amanda Ngwafusi tying the match and striker Shayla LaVecchia scoring the winning goal three minutes later.
