OTTAWA (CIS) – There are no changes this week atop CIS national rankings. Fraser Valley (womens basketball), Carleton (mens basketball), McGill (womens hockey), Alberta (mens hockey & mens volleyball), UBC (womens swimming & womens volleyball), Toronto (mens swimming) and Guelph (womens & mens track and field) all maintain their No. 1 status. Womens basketball After reaching the top of the national rankings last Tuesday for the first time in program history, Fraser Valley (11-1) enjoyed a solid weekend with home wins over Saskatchewan (6-6), 71-62, and Alberta (7-5), 74-50. The Cascades, who are tied with No. 2 Regina for the best record in Canada West, visit Calgary (10-2) and Lethbridge (5-7) this week. Mens basketball Top-ranked Carleton (11-1) was dominant in road victories against Toronto (2-9), 91-57, and Ryerson (10-1), 91-66. The Ravens, who host Queens (9-3) on Saturday, now hold the best mark in the OUA thanks to their win over previously undefeated Ryerson, which moves up one spot to No. 6 in the new coaches poll despite its lopsided loss to the reigning CIS champions. Womens hockey Top-ranked McGill (11-0-0) enjoyed a break in its RSEQ scheduled last week but kept busy with a 4-1 non-conference win over Connecticut of the NCAA. The Martlets, who are the only remaining undefeated team in the country, host No. 3 Montreal (11-2-0) and Ottawa (3-7-2) this weekend. Mens hockey Top-ranked Alberta (16-4-0) registered a pair of huge home wins against No. 5 Saskatchewan (14-6-0) last weekend, by identical 3-2 scores, to open up a four-point lead over its archrival atop the Canada West standings. The Golden Bears stay in Edmonton this week for a Friday-Saturday doubleheader versus Lethbridge (1-17-2). Womens volleyball Top-ranked UBC (13-1) swept Winnipeg (4-10) in straight sets on consecutive nights over the weekend. The Thunderbirds, who hold a slim one-game lead over No. 2 Trinity Western (12-2) atop the Canada West standings, will look to continue their winning ways later this week when they visit Thompson Rivers (0-14) for a pair. Mens volleyball Top-ranked Alberta improved to 14-0 in league play thanks to 3-2 and 3-0 wins at Calgary (2-12). The Bears, who lead the Canada West race by six points, should be tested this weekend when they visit No. 5 Brandon (10-4) for a two-game series. Cheap Vancouver Canucks Jerseys .

Cheap NFL Jerseys . -- Kyle Wiltjer had his first career double-double, finishing with 23 points and 12 rebounds in Kentuckys 88-50 win Saturday over Lipscomb. TORONTO -- Relief came in the form of James Reimer lifting his arms after making a shootout save on Antonie Vermette. By beating the Phoenix Coyotes 2-1 in a shootout at Air Canada Centre on Thursday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs shook off the gloom and doom of recent struggles. "It hasnt been a good feeling around here the past couple days," said winger Joffrey Lupul, who scored the shootout winner. "Its funny how even with an ugly, grind-it-out win like that, you come to the rink tomorrow feeling a lot better about yourselves." The Leafs (18-16-3) can feel better about themselves beyond shootout goals by Lupul and James van Riemsdyk and a couple of stops in that competition from Reimer, who made 34 saves in regulation and overtime. Instead, this was a victory to savour for stronger play in regulation and the elimination of the kind of mistakes that led to 10 losses in their previous 13 games. "I thought individually guys really limited our turnovers and the chances we gave up for them to try and get opportunities," said centre Peter Holland, who assisted on Troy Bodies first-period goal. "It just goes to show that when we do execute what we plan on doing, things will fall into place for us." Maybe it was about time. Coach Randy Carlyle spent eight-plus hours at the rink Wednesday with the coaching staff on a day off for players devising what he hoped was a plan to turn the Leafs fortunes around. Presented at the morning skate was a blue print that included a harder forecheck and more aggressive defensive zone play. For the most part, the Leafs followed that against Phoenix (18-10-6). A strong forecheck was evident on Bodies first goal of the season and first in a Leafs uniform, thanks to work from Holland and Jerry DAmigo. The puck got out to defenceman Cody Franson at the point, and Bodie was in a perfect spot to put the rebound in on Canadian Olympic candidate Mike Smith. "(Forechecking is) something weve been stressing," Bodie said. "I think we did a good job of it on the goal. We got a good dump and we had two guys in on it right away and then the third guy joined. We were able to come out with it." Tighter defence than Toronto displayed in a loss two days earlier to the Florida Panthers helped the lead stand up until Martin Hanzal scored 15:08 into the third. Reimer, who started only because Carlyle said Jonathan Bernier was dealing with an unspecified "ailment," was satisfied with how his teammates contained the Coyotes and rebounded from a frustrating loss to Florida. "We all make mistakes," Reimer said. "We sometimes dont show up in a way we want to. I think youre judged on how you respond. I thought we did a great job tonight. We really came collectively and everyone bought in." Reimer turnedd aside attempts from Radim Vrbata and then Vermette in the shootout, but it was Smiths almost-save on van Riemsdyk in the first round that caused a lengthy review.dddddddddddd. Referee Paul Devorski assured Coyotes coach Dave Tippett that "110 per cent" it was in the net, and video review found it inconclusive so the goal stood. "Youve got to take him for his word," Tippett said. Devorski never signalled that it was a goal on the ice, which caused Smith some confusion. "He came and whispered it in my ear like its a goal, and he didnt really give a signal that it was," Smith said. "He made the call, he said he saw it go in. Its unfortunate, but thats the way it goes." Like the Leafs, the Coyotes were satisfied with an improved performance, despite this being their third straight loss. "We definitely took some good things out of that game," said Smith, who made 26 saves. "Its not all bad. We did a lot of good things well in the third period there to give ourselves a chance to get a point. As long as were in games, were giving ourselves a chance to win hockey games, I think well be pleased with it." Toronto didnt play perfectly, but players were nonetheless pleased with not only the result but the five-on-five play throughout regulation. "I thought we were pretty strong for pretty much the full 60 and we did things the right way, so that was definitely an improvement," van Riemsdyk said. "We stayed patient, kept it simple and guys did their job, guys battled hard. It was a good two points." Reimer was critical of his teammates after the loss to the Panthers, saying that some or all of the Leafs players dont show up for the entire game. Given how long he paused before delivering that answer Tuesday night, it was well thought-out. "Obviously I was frustrated, but I try and always answer (with) the way Im feeling -- in an honest way," Reimer said Thursday night. "Whether Im frustrated or whether Im happy, I try and answer objectively. I just answered how I thought I saw it." Relief was all over Reimers face after beating the Coyotes, and his words backed that up. "Really proud of the way the guys worked," he said. "They put in an honest effort. It was just a good game all around. I thought we played solid for 60 minutes." NOTES -- Gilbert Brule was in the lineup for the Coyotes, his first NHL appearance since May 15, 2012. Tippett said Brule, who played 12:39, was "flying" in his Phoenix debut ... Defenceman Mark Fraser and Paul Ranger and tough guy Frazer McLaren were healthy scratches for the Leafs. ...
