Women’s Volleyball vs DAL AC 3:00pm @ LB Gym

Having clinched their playoff spot, it is now a matter of who the Tommies will face in the playoffs. They are currently sitting in 5th and will face a DAL AC team that has had a hard time coming by wins this season.

Men’s Basketball @ UKC 5:00pm

With the Tommies sitting just in front of the Blue Devils in the standings this game is as close to a must win as they come. These two teams have split their previous matchups with the blue Devils winning the first matchup 86-81 and then the Tommies rallied to get a 93-66 victory in the last matchup.

Men’s Volleyball vs HC 5:00pm @ LB Gym

The Tommies remain the cream of the ACAA crop with a 9-1 record, but the ACAA’s leader in kills, Brett Butler, will be in town with the Hurricanes in what will be a rematch of last year’s ACAA finals.

Women’s Hockey vs MTA 2:00 @ Grant-Harvey Centre

The Tommies have four losses on the season, the exact amount of wins the Mounties have coming into this weekend. You would think that says everything you need to know about this matchup, but one of the Tommies losses and one of the Mounties wins came in the same game, back on October 21st, a 3-2 Mt. A win.

Men’s Volleyball vs USA 2:00pm @ LB Gym

Last weekend the Tommies took two matches against the Dragons in Church Point, NS, but that wasn’t without USA jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the second matchup before the Tommies came back for the five-set win.
