Trent defeated the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks by a score of 10-8, in a tightly fought rematch of last season's quarter-final playoff match. Laurier opened the scoring early as Melissa Pateiak scored an early try, but missed the conversion. Trent countered with a try of their own as rookie Sarah Sabotka forced way in for five. Laurier added a boot point to go up 8-5 at the half. With just minutes remaining in the contest veteran, Andrea DeFrancesco barreled past the Laurier defense for the winning try.
