CARLETON WINS CROSS-TOWN BATTLE
The top-ranked Carleton Ravens secured their spot for a possible Wilson Cup three-peat, edging out cross-town rival, the Ottawa Gee-Gees, 68-63, in the OUA East final Saturday night. OUA East first team all-star Mike Smart knocked down back-to-back three-pointers with less than five minutes remaining to lift the Ravens over the Gee-Gees. Smart was named the Wilson Sports Equipment Player of the Game recording 16 points, four rebounds, five assists, one block shot and one steal, while playing the entire 40 minutes. Fellow all-star Osvaldo Jeanty added 17 points in the win.
For Ottawa, third-year guard Alex McLeod had a team-hight 18 points, on 7-of-12 shooting. Three other Gee-Gees reached double figures, including Curtis Shakespeare who netted eight consecutive points with under seven minutes remaining as the Gee-Gees made their final run just before Smart's back-to-back threes.
With the victory, Carleton extended its OUA/CIS regular and post season winning streak to 74 contests. The streak will be put to the test Saturday in St. Catharines as the top two teams in the country go head-to-head for the Wilson Cup.
BROCK TAKES DOWN WATERLOO FOR FIRST TIME THIS SEASON

Stienstra netted a game-high 24 points and eight rebounds, while OUA West all-star point guard Brad Rootes added 13 points, five rebounds and six assists. Dave Munkley led the Warriors with 17 points, with Graham Jarman adding 12.
