OUS Opening Weekend

It’s our favourite time of the year! Fall, meaning its OUS season. Our 2023 season kicks-offs this Friday night. Our 13 member clubs are all excited to compete for the right to attend the OUS Championship Tournament, taking place the weekend of October 22nd and 23rd.

This year the league has new coaching teams in place at Windsor, Laurier & Brock. Each of these teams made the playoffs last season and will look to repeat that achievement competing against several teams that have added some talented players across the league.

Friday September 8th the regular season begins with Laurier visiting Ottawa, and Guelph visiting Carleton. Then on Saturday September 9th, there are six double-header matches on the slate including defending champion Queen’s University as they host rival and runner-up in 2022 the University of Western Ontario. The league matches on opening weekend are all cross-over games between the teams in the eastern division (hosting) teams from the western division.

We invite you to cheer on and follow your favorite school this fall. All of our league teams have social media accounts across various platforms that will provide updates, photos, etc. All OUS games are also scored live using the Game Changer app. You can follow each game live wherever you may be!

Best of luck to all teams, have a great 2023 season!

Week 5 & 6 Recap

Week 5:

Thanksgiving/Reading Week + the National Championship Tournament meant that there were only a handful of games October 6th and 7th. Friday night, Laurier clinched a playoff spot sweeping the Waterloo Warriors, which also eliminated Waterloo from post-season contention. Laurier and Waterloo held an Awareness “Pink in the Park Night” to help raise money for cancer research. In Windsor the Lancers held off Guelph in both games to continue to strengthen their position in the division. In the East TMU split their final series of the season with the University of Toronto. The Blues with the win in the early game clinched the 1st seed for the Eastern Division.

Week 6:

The “rain/reschedule” week had a few games to catch-up for various reasons. Saturday, Western visited Brock and completed their perfect 20-0 regular season with two wins over the Badgers. The Badgers then travelled to Windsor on Sunday for senior day, and split the two games with the Lancers. Windsor with the one win, earned the 2nd seed from the west in the post-season tournament. Laurier earned the 3rd seed, Brock 4th.

In the Eastern Division, Ottawa swept Queen’s Saturday and secured the 2nd seed and a date with Laurier this coming weekend. Queen’s then on Sunday earned two wins over CU Fastpitch. Queens will be the 3rd seed from the East and play Windsor on Saturday morning. TMU is the 4th seed.
