The Warriors loss both games to the Brock Badgers on the weekend 7-6 to leave their playoff hopes up to the Western Mustangs. Western must defeat the Guelph Gryphons at least once in tonight's evening games (which got rained out on the weekend) in order for the Warriors to finish fourth and earn a berth into the OUA final four next weekend that could be hosted by either Brock, Toronto or Western (depending on tonight's results).
Game 1 – Brock 7, Waterloo 6
On Saturday, Waterloo committed four errors and gave up five runs in the fifth inning to lose 7-6 to the Brock Badgers in the first game of the double header. Waterloo jumped out to an early 4-1 lead, but the costly fifth inning proved to be their downfall. Anthony Douris (Newmarket/) started the game for Waterloo, going 4-2/3 inning, allowing 6 runs (2 earned) on 6 hits. Brandon Beattie (St. Catharines/) took the loss, allowing one run in 2-2/3 inning of relief. Offensively, Chris Ryan (Waterloo/) led the way with two hits and 3 RBI's.

Game 2 – Brock 7, Watelroo 6
Game two was much the same as Waterloo jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, only to allow Brock seven runs in the fourth. Waterloo trailed until the seventh inning where they added 4 runs but their comeback bid came up short.
