 | Two Time Back to Back CIS National Champions | |
Back to back national championships ! The University of Manitoba Bisons Women won the first of two consecutive national championships in Laval in 1996 by defeating the Toronto Varsity Blues 81 – 77 in overtime. In 1997, they duplicated this result in Lakehead with a convincing 73 – 62 win over York in the national final. The teams were known for their full-court pressure and tremendous character which saw them work through many tight situations in the GPAC playoffs and at the national tournaments.
