Defensively, they held their rivals to CIS lows in points (56.6 ppg) and field goal percentage (34.2), all while holding a No. 1 ranking in each national poll. The team dominated the OUA East awards, taking home four out of the five major awards. They swept all three of their playoff games, including an 82-39 rout of Ryerson in the OUA final, capturing their fourth Wilson Cup in five years. They advanced to the national championship as the No. 1 seed, marking their 10th consecutive Final 8 appearance and 11th under head coach Dave Smart. Second-year guard Philip Scrubb became the first player in CIS men’s basketball history to be named rookie of the year and player of the year in back-to-back seasons, while head coach Dave Smart set a CIS men’s basketball record with his fifth coach of the year award. On top of another successful campaign, the Ravens added some international flavour this season, sending players to October’s Pan Am Games in Mexico as well as the Universiade in China in August.

They got off to the right start, capturing their third straight Metro Glebe Tournament title with a perfect 3-0 record. Fourthyear guard, Alyson Bush, was named the tournament MVP. The Ravens continued their impressive performance during the regular season.

Part of that streak included a thrilling 71-63 overtime victory over cross-town rivals, the Ottawa Gee-Gees. The Ravens were ranked in the CIS Top 10 all season long, peaking at the No. 2 spot which marked the highest ranking in the history of the program. Carleton opened the postseason in fine fashion, booking its ticket to the Final Four with an impressive 84-62 victory over the Toronto Varsity Blues.

In one of the biggest upsets in program history, the Ravens beat the Martlets 4-3 in a shootout on the road. Before that matchup, McGill had won 116 of their last 117 regular season games. It was a tight race in the RSEQ again as the teams battled for playoff positioning. But the Ravens were able to clinch their spot, thanks in large part to Tamber Tisdale, who had a breakout year in nets for her team. For a good portion of the season, her save percentage was ranked second in the RSEQ behind only Olympic goaltender Charline Labonte. The Ravens finished with a 9-8-3 record for third place, which set up a battle against a familiar opponent, the UdeM Carabins, in the first round. With the RSEQ runner up earning a berth at the CIS championships, the Ravens found themselves just two wins away from playing on the national stage. But the Carabins proved to be too much, sweeping the best-of-three semifinal series 2-0. Three Ravens were honoured with RSEQ all-star nods and an award nomination. Tisdale and Melanie McKnight were named to the second all-star team, while teammate Kristen MacDonald was the
recipient of the RSEQ Leadership and Social Implication Award and the league’s nominee for the CIS Marion Hilliard Award. After the season had ended, captain Sara Seiler continued to build up her international experience, as she represented her country at the 2012 IIHF World Championship, suiting up for Team Germany and recording one assist in five games.

With the addition of some OHL grads and NCAA recruits, as well as a strong group of returning veterans, the Ravens looked like they were going to ice their best squad yet. They boasted a nine-game winning streak early on but struggled heading into the winter break. The team would bounce back though and take a welcome dose of momentum into the playoffs after decisive wins over UQTR and Concordia, outscoring them by a combined total of 13-3, and moving up to fifth place with a 15-10-3 record. The Ravens faced a familiar foe in the opening round, taking on the Toronto Varsity Blues. Carleton booked its rematch in the second round of the playoffs with the UQTR Patriotes, after knocking out the Varsity Blues with a 4-3 double overtime victory in game three. The series with UQTR also needed a decisive third game. This time though, double overtime wasn’t favourable to the Ravens, as their season ended with a 3-2 loss to the Patriotes. Captain Brandon MacLean, who was named an OUA all-star along with teammate Matt Stanisz, got the nod as a second team all-Canadian after finishing fifth in the OUA scoring race with 40 points in 28 games. He went on to sign with the Florida Everblades in the ECHL.

Season Recap: The Ravens rowing team came under new direction this year, as Ed Fournier, who has been involved in the sport for over 25 years, took over the reins of the program. With a smaller roster of 18 athletes, the Ravens faced a tough challenge to make an impact in competitions. The season kicked off at the annual P.D. Ross Memorial Regatta when Carleton took on cross-town rivals, the Ottawa Gee-Gees. The Ravens won the alumni race, but the varsity crew was defeated in an eight-man race from the Bank Street to Pretoria bridge. Carleton had a strong regular season, including a number of individual second and third place finishes at the Head of the Rideau and the Head of the Trent. The OUA Championships, although a university regatta, had an extremely strong level of competition, with national team members, world championship gold medalists and Canadian Henley gold medalists competing in both the men’s and women’s categories. The Ravens crew of Francina Jackson and Victoria Ozimkowski advanced to the finals and placed sixth in the lightweight double sculls, while their teammates Elise Damoiseaux and Lindsay Los advanced to the final of the heavy weight women’s double and placed fifth.

Up against the No.1 York Lions in the bronze medal match, the Ravens failed to medal on home field, falling 2-0. Offensively, the Ravens were led by Caki Simrooglu and Andrew Latty, who both finished in the top 10 in conference scoring with nine and eight goals respectively.
