Rugby: Redmen continue their playoff push 

Adversity continues to have no effect on the Redmen rugby squad, as the team claimed its third straight contest following the recent ineligible player ruling by the RSEQ. Battling the Sherbrooke Vert-et-Or at Molson Stadium on Sunday, McGill cruised to a 48-5 victory over the visitors.

Cameron Perrin, a third-year fullback, claimed 13 points in the win, including one try and four converts. Six other Redmen joined Perrin with tries, and Zechary Miller leading the way with two.

Looking forward, the victory brings McGill to 3-4 this year, with one final game remaining. Currently third in Quebec, a win would go a long way in securing a home playoff game. McGill battles Bishop’s on Friday night at Molson Stadium.

Soccer: Redmen in dangerous spot as playoffs near

McGill travelled to Stade CEPSUM to face the Montreal Carabins on Sunday in men’s soccer action. Looking to erase a two-game losing streak, the Redmen were in tough against the top-ranked Carabins, who ultimately prevailed 1-0.

With the loss, McGill finds itself in fifth place with only two games remaining, a tough position to be as only the top four teams in the conference will advance.

McGill plays at home on Tuesday against the UQTR Patriotes, and then travels to Sherbrooke to take on the Vert-et-Or. McGill needs a big win against the Patriotes to cushion their playoff positioning.

Soccer: Drought persists for Martlets

Following the rain-out cancellation against UQTR on Friday, the Martlets suffered a tough 1-0 loss against the Montreal Carabins on Sunday, dropping the team into fourth place in the RSEQ standings.

The teams has struggled lately, losing three of its last five games, after a blistering 6-0-0 start on the season.

The Martlets are currently on the cusp of playoff territory with three games remaining, and Tuesday’s make-up match against UQTR is a must-win.
