The winner will secure the top seed in the Ontario conference and a first-round bye. The loser will become the No. 2 seed and host a quarterfinal next week.
Regular-season play in the Ontario conference wraps up Saturday, a week earlier than the Quebec, Atlantic and Canada West conferences. Entering Week 9, the Carleton Ravens , Guelph Gryphons and Waterloo Warriors still had a shot at making the post-season.Laurier quarterback Taylor Elgersma leads the conference in several categories including yards per game , completions and completion percentage .
"Their offence is extremely dangerous," said Western head coach Greg Marshall."I think one thing about is they're balanced." It's also a short road trip for Laurier fans. The school's main campus is only 75 kilometres away in Waterloo, Ont. Montreal and Laval were positioned 1-2 in the Quebec conference standings ahead of the 3-3 Concordia Stingers.
