The Lions played aggressively in both games and dominating possession of the ball. York scored all three of its first-game goals in the first half as defender Branko Majstorovic (Toronto, Ont.), Franco Ruscetta (Woodbridge, Ont.) and Adrian Pena (Woodbridge, Ont.) all found the back of the net.
McMaster broke through with a goal at the 87 minute mark but by then it was too late. The Lions defence proved to be too strong, ultimately giving York the victory.
The second game was much closer as both York and Brock fought hard at both ends of the field. In the 72nd minute, Pena again tallied a goal to edge the Lions past the Badgers.
