QUEEN'S NEW NO. 2 TEAM IN CIS FOOTBALL
OTTAWA, Ont. – Fresh off their 46-16 victory over the Western Mustangs on Saturday, the Queen's Gaels have moved up the CIS football rankings, taking the No. 2 spot formerly held by Western.
Queen's entered the game ranked No. 4, but forced the Mustangs into 12 turnovers to move into sole-possession of first place in the OUA football standings. Queen's (5-0), No. 1 Laval Rouge et Or (4-0) and the No. 3 Saint Mary's Huskies (4-0) remain the only unbeaten teams in Canadian university football. With the loss, Western falls to No. 5.
It wasn't the only upset of Top 10 teams in OUA last weekend, as the Windsor Lancers upended the Ottawa Gee-Gees by a 40-38 count. As a result, the Gee-Gees fall two spots to No. 7.
Both Windsor and the Laurier Golden Hawks were other OUA teams to receive votes by the CIS Football Top Ten Committee.
