QUICK FACTS
 
York

• The Lions played their first two home games of the season last week and were defeated 1-0 in each, to undefeated Guelph and Laurier.
• The squad earned one point in two road games to start the regular season. They were defeated 1-0 by Western in the opener but bounced back the next day against Windsor to earn a 1-1 draw with the team that had eliminated them from the playoffs last year.
• The Lions have scored only once in four games this season, tied for the lowest total in the OUA West.
• As part of their schedule this week, the Lions will head to Waterloo, Ont., on Friday night for a rematch with the Golden Hawks.

 
McMaster

• Like the Lions, the Marauders are also looking for their first win of the season. They have three points after a trio of draws in their first four games. They started with a pair of 2-2 ties against Waterloo and Laurier on opening weekend, and last weekend lost to Western 1-0 and then tied Windsor 1-1.
• The Marauders have scored five goals this season, tied for the second most in the division, but they have also allowed six.
• Last year, the Marauders finished in fifth place in the OUA West standings and were eliminated in the first round by the Lancers in penalty kicks.
