Head-To-Head
VIU has won all three matchups with Langara this season, posting scores of 5-1, 2-0, and 2-0. In their last meeting, on September 22, Mya Creed and Tori Hauptman scored VIU's goals.
The Mariners earned two huge 1-0 wins over Douglas last weekend to take over the conference lead. Their first matchup of the season, on September 14, ended in a 1-1 tie with Saki Meshida scoring for the Mariners.
These games will be the fourth and final matchups with Langara and Douglas in the regular season.
Looking Towards the Postseason
The Mariners have clinched a spot in the PACWEST provincial playoffs but seeding has yet to be decided. If VIU (18 points) can earn three wins over its final four games, the Mariners will clinch the top spot in the PACWEST and a bye to the provincial final. However, Douglas (13 points) and Capilano (9 points) are still in the running for the conference title.
