    Courtesy of York Athletics: https://yorkulions.ca/news/2022/10/30/mens-soccer-no-1-lions-stunned-in-oua-quarter-final-loss-to-waterloo.aspx Now that was a weekend in the OUA in Men's Soccer!!!

Two games finishing in penalty kicks, one game the first time they have ever won a playoff game in school Varsity Men's history and one just trying to validate their National ranking. So let's see...

    Playoffs!??!? Playoffs you say!?!?! It's time the pretenders have been separated this year from the contenders and now it's time to get to work in the OUA.

Here's Wednesday's line...

    The OUA start their playoffs Wednesday at four different locations for the opportunity to play on the weekend. This is the best time of the year as pleasantries get to be dispensed because it's time to get down and dirty. Talent does get you there, but sometimes it's all about who wants it more and a little bit of luck.
