Congrats to all the OUA teams competing this season and to the Toronto Varsity Blues, Queen's Gaels, Laurier Golden Hawks and Western Mustangs for what I hear was a terrific Final 4 weekend.
Here is a game story from the championship:
Western ends Lauriers six-year championship streak, earning first OUA title in team history
Nov. 1: Western 9 Wilfrid Laurier 5 / Oct. 31: Western 8 Queen's 7
By Andy Watson
HAMILTON, Ont. - The Western Mustangs ended the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks 9-5 in the 2009 OUA Championship on Nov. 1 hosted by McMaster at Alumni Field.
With the win, Western ends Wilfrid Laurier's six-season championship streak.
Western defeated the Queen's Gaels 8-7 in a thrilling semifinal a day earlier after Laurier ended Toronto's undefeated season in the other semifinal, 8-7.
On Nov. 1, Dave Hastings' Mustangs squad capped off a great season with a strong defensive game, allowing just five goals against the high-powered Laurier offence.
Summer Windley (Kitchener, Ont.) made 25 saves in the win.
Goals were scored by Emmi Morris (Brampton, Ont.) and Lauren Crape (Calgary, Alta.) with two each, while singles came from Beth Turowec (Oshawa, Ont.), Nicole Pullen (Orangeville, Ont.), Lindsay Doxtator (Southwold, Ont.), Adrianna Clapp (Brooklin, Ont.) and Carrie White (Mississauga, Ont.)
Doxtator, the lone fifth-year senior on the team, added three assists.
The Mustangs were a jubilant team on the ride back from Hamilton. Hastings said he was very pleased and credited the balanced of his squad.
It was a full team effort, everyone played their best game, Hastings said.
The score at half was 7-2 for Western, even though Laurier scored the games first goal
"We had them 9-2 and we stalled the ball for the last 15 minutes, Hastings said.
Laurier scored the first goal three minutes into the game before Western scored seven goals unanswered, to lead 7-1.
Western first-team OUA all-star Nicole Pullen (Orangeville, Ont.) was ejected with a red card with 25 minutes left in the game in a chippy affair with 10 cards assessed, two red.
Five different players scored for Laurier, and Western held Laurier sniper and goal-scoring leader Braedyn ORahilly (Whitby, Ont.), who had 53 points on the season, to just one goal.
