Players to Watch:
 
York:
#19 LOLA MASSEY: 1st-year forward… Was one of three different goal scorers in Sunday's win over Windsor…. Has three goals this season, good for a third-place tie on the club… Scored her other two goals against Waterloo on Dec. 2… Seems to like playing Western division opponents.
 
Guelph:
#17 TORI VERBEEK: Second-year forward… Leads the Gryphons in goals and is tied for the team lead in points with Jamie Magoffin… Has gone pointless in two of the last three games following a three-game point streak…. The Gryphons rely on Verbeek and Magoffin for a lot of their offence; if the Lions can stop
