The OUA’s new three-division format prompts a revised playoff format. Rather than use RPI (or any other objective measure of comparison) and in a bid to protect the weaker divisions in their efforts to make the national draw, the OUA awards the top four seeds, and an opening round bye, to each of the divisional champs, with the fourth-seed awarded to the team with next best record. The top four seeds are: Western (1); Ottawa (2); Ryerson (3); and Brock (4). The remaining seeds are based strictly on winning percentage, even though the divisions are of unequal strength and schedules are imbalanced. Ties are resolved through standard OUA tie-breaking rules.

Buttenham and Jenna Button scored all 11 McMaster points in overtime as the Marauders opened the frame with a 6-0 run. Gryphons coach Mark Salton said “the character from our team was significant tonight, and has been significant all season long with our girls. It doesn’t ever matter what a team’s lead is, we keep fighting and the girls continue to comeback. For us to do that, it does show great character. Tonight though, we just weren’t able to guard the arch.

In the quarterfinals, the top-seeded Western Mustangs nipped the 9th-seeded McMaster Marauders 64-63. The Mustangs led 15-13, 34-29 and 50-47 at the quarters. Western had 8-to-10-point leads in each of the first three quarters but repeatedly withstood McMaster rallies. “You could see the release of tension after a game like that, McMaster is a team who has ended Western’s season a couple of time over the last couple years,” said Mustangs coach Nate McKibbon. “We knew it was going to be a close game, we knew it was going to be a tough game and I’m extremely pleased we pulled out the win. … Last time we played McMaster we were down something like 15 really early and most Western teams I’ve played for have been so close to one of those comebacks and haven’t been able to make the last step. I think with a performance like that tonight, it shows that this group can pull it together and do what needs to be done to get the win.” Emma Johnson opened the second half with a trey. “At the beginning of the year, she (was) fighting her shot a little bit and trying to find some confidence,” said McKibbon. “Since Christmas, she’s been on a role and she has to be over 40% or more from the three-point line in that time.” Johnson notched another big trey in the fourth quarter.

The Lancers, though, knotted the score at 21 on a Harriet Carey trey and then took a 30-22 at the half as Samantha Gucciardi notched a trey with seconds remaining on the clock. They extended their margin to 14 before Brock rallied to within eight. But Maggie Denys nailed a trey to give Windsor a 51-32 after three quarters.

Something has clicked the last few games where we just want it more than the other team, we don’t care who’s scoring, and we’re playing tough defence. I never doubted that we could win games because of our talent, but the heart this team has is something of a championship team.” Keltos noted that “we have overcome so much and so much doubt from everyone in this league and keep giving it our all and showing people what Brock can do. I am overcome with emotions that we’ve pulled it together so many times, and keep pulling out with the win. I love my team. This is an amazing group of women.” Badgers coach Mike Rao said “they played with poise down the stretch.

It’s pretty cool.” Badgers coach Mike Rao said “I want these girls to enjoy the moment. Our pre-game speech was very simple I said ‘listen, don’t let this game determine who you are. We’re going to do the same thing that we always do. Let’s just play.’” Point guard Melissa Tatti said “honestly, I’m speechless, I feel like I’m dreaming. Everyy game is a dream.
