Rams in postseason after Manitoba
forfeits wins
The University of Manitoba's football team forfeited three victories
on Tuesday because of the use of an ineligible player, moving the
Regina Rams into the fourth and final playoff position in Canada
West.
Manitoba used an ineligible student-athlete for its first five
games of the season. As per Canada West bylaws, the use of an
ineligible player results in forfeiture of games in which the
student-athlete was deemed ineligible. The two games won by
Manitoba over UBC and Alberta have been changed to losses and
wins for the two opponents. The third game, Manitoba at Simon
Fraser has been declared "no contest" because both teams used
an ineligible player. The final scores for the two forfeited
games are recorded as 1-0 forfeits by Manitoba. All statistics for
the three games will remain intact.
The Rams (3-5) will now play the Saskatchewan Huskies (7-1) in the
conference semifinals on Saturday. Game time is scheduled for 1
p.m. at Griffiths Stadium in Saskatoon. The winner of the
game will advance to the Hardy Cup, where they'll take on
either Alberta or No. 2-ranked Calgary in the Canada West
championship game.
The Rams held a film session on Monday evening. The team will
return to practice on Tuesday, and is scheduled to be on the
field at 7 p.m.
