1986 Playoffs: Carleton Ravens 31, U of O Gee-Gees 15

Earlier this afternoon, I posted the results of the 1986 Panda Game between (if you're new here...) Carleton University and the University of Ottawa.

In reviewing a few more newspaper articles from that year, I noticed that the two teams played three times that season. For them to play twice a year wasn't unusual but three times was. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize that the third contest was a conference playoff game. Being that was played in November, that should have been clear from the beginning.

It occurred to me that playoff contests must have been rather rare between these team as Carleton,well, did not make the playoffs too often during their first go-round. I looked it up quickly and that third game in 1986 was the first such meeting of only two (so guess what the next post will be about?).

That seems noteworthy, and so I share it here with you.

Bishop's eliminated Carleton the following weekend, unfortunately.
