Returning to the podium for the second straight year, Ava Zheng captured the individual épée silver in the 2024 OUA Championships on Day 1 before helping the Ravens to capture bronze in the team relay on Day 2. Along with the women's bronze in the foil relay, the OUA All-Star Zheng and the Ravens finished third in the event taking the overall bronze medal.

The Ravens rookie continues establishing himself as a dynamic threat in the Ravens front court. On Friday night, the Oakville product recorded 14 rebounds while scoring 14 points for the double-double as Carleton beat UofT. Brazdeikis would add eight more rebounds and 14 points on Saturday night. His strong performance over the weekend now puts him second all-time in rebounds by a rookie with 140, passing Ravens great Aaron Doornekamp.
