The MCAC’s first placed Rouges de l’Université de Saint-Boniface (15-2) are hosting the third place Assiniboine Community College Cougars (8-10). USB looked untouchable for much of the season, but a pair of recent losses showed they can be beat. Meanwhile, the Cougars will wrap up their season this weekend, looking to lock in their position in the Conference’s final four.

It’s a rare occurrence in the regular season, but this weekend features a pair of matches between two of the top five teams in the country. The Briercrest Clippers (20-0) are ranked No. 2 in the CCAA while the Red Deer Queens (18-2) are close behind at No. 5. Both teams are on massive win streaks, considering that the Queens only losses occurred when they opened the season against the Clippers in October.

With a couple games in hand, the CCAA’s No. 2 Ranked Douglas Royals (15-1) wrap their season up this weekend against the Camosun Chargers. Camosun was undefeated in January but have dropped their last three, while the Royals are on an eight-game win streak. Douglas can lock down first place going into the playoffs with a pair of wins, but the Chargers will put up a fight as they try to maintain their third place standing.
