Lacrosse
After a successful road trip to open the season a week ago, the Bishop's Gaiters men's lacrosse team looks to duplicate that success on a very similar route.  The Gaiters (2-0) are in the nation's capital on Saturday at 6 p.m. for a tilt with the Carleton Ravens (1-1).  A quick turnaround will see Bishop's in Kingston to face the Queen's Gaels (2-0) on Sunday at 12 p.m. Bishop's swept both teams in a pair of meetings in 2014.
 
Men's Rugby
The Gaiters men's rugby team will step onto Coulter Field for the first time since their 2014 RSEQ semi-final loss to the McGill Redmen. They face cross-town rival Sherbrooke on Sunday at 1 p.m. Bishop's (0-1) opened their campaign on the road last week. Despite losing to the Concordia Stingers, the Gaiters were able to secure a bonus point while Sherbrooke fell to McGill 19-5 in their first contest of the year.
 
Women's Rugby
Rookies are the name of the game for the Bishop's Gaiters women's rugby team (0-3). Erika Scott (Dewittville, Que.) leads the way having scored four tries to date.  The Gaiters will have their hands full in Lennoxville on Sunday at 3 p.m. when they face the No.3 Ottawa Gee-Gees.
