Tale of the Tape

Carleton (0-4) played two games last weekend; falling 16-3 to Queen's and 18-2 to McGill (5-0).
Coach Rob's Report:
We spent the week getting back to basics and getting some rest, to make sure we are regrouped and refocused for the weekend.
We are looking at a very good Nipissing team, we just need to go up there and do our jobs. With Carleton on Sunday, we are not too concerned about the back to back games it's just more a matter of guys doing the right things.
Next up:
The Gaiters will host the McGill Redmen on Thurs. Sept. 27 at 8:30 p.m. in Bishop's University homecoming action.
