Facing the same situation as he did in 2015, Thomas Scoffin could not summon the magic needed to repeat as CIS national champion last week.

The 21-year-old University of Alberta Golden Bears skipper lost the final of the 2016 CIS-Curling Canada University Championships last Wednesday, 7-4 at the hands of Wilfrid Laurier University Golden Hawks skip Aaron Squires.

The two had previously met in the 2015 final where Scoffin earned his first national championship with a 6-4 victory in Waterloo, Ont.

This year, Squires got his revenge, and moves on to represent Canada at the FISU’s 28th Winter Universiade next January in Kazakhstan.

The Golden Bears curled at a 76 per cent clip, with Scoffin at 71 per cent.

Meanwhile, Scoffin’s schoolmate Kelsey Rocque led the University of Alberta Pandas to the women’s title for the second straight year, defeating Corynn Brown’s Thompson Rivers University WolfPack rink 5-4.

Bulls claim regular season hoops title

The Yukon Men’s Basketball League saw its regular season wrap up March 21, with playoffs set to begin this Saturday.

The 13-6 Bulls showed they were ready for the post-season, downing the second-place Willy Bears 77-43.

Then in March Madness-like fashion, the Monstars took their game 75-74 over Tenacious D, crawling back from a 20-point deficit and winning the game on a late bucket.

In the second game of a doubleheader night for Tenacious D, however, they beat the Caulkers 80-77, showing anything is possible in the month of March.
