Carleton's late comeback attempt fell just short against the Brock Badgers in the day's first draw, as they fell to 3-1 and third position in the Women's A pool. The Badgers, meanwhile, share the pool lead at 4-0 with the similarly undefeated Toronto Varsity Blues after laying an 8-2 beating on the Queen's Gaels in the last draw.
The Guelph Gryphons hold sole possession of the top spot in the Women's B pool, after maintaining their perfect record at 3-0 with a lopsided 7-1 defeat of the host Marauders.
Meanwhile on the men's side, the UOIT Ridgebacks hold the uncontested lead in Pool B after a pair of high-scoring wins on Friday, defeating Carleton 9-7 and Toronto 9-4. They're joined in the upper echelon by a pair of undefeated teams in the A Pool, the Laurier Golden Hawks and Brock Badgers.
Laurier improved to 4-0 with a pair of wins over Waterloo and McMaster, while Brock dealt an 8-2 loss to the Laurentian Voyageurs and defeated Trent 9-4.
The host Marauders are winless at 0-4 on the men's side, while the women fell to 1-3 on Friday.
