CARLETON GAMES NOTES 

• Major stat leaders
  • Goals: Nicole Hunter – 5
  • Assists: Sydney Berta – 6
  • Points: Nicole Hunter and Sydney Berta – 10
  • Wins: Marie-Ève Côté – 6

• Carleton enters the weekend on a three-game losing streak, having scored just twice over the stretch.
• The Ravens haven't been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet, but they have a tough uphill battle. They'll need to get seven points out of their four remaining games and hope the Bishop's Gaiters lose their five remaining contests.
• Marie-Ève Côté has enjoyed a productive season between the pipes for the Ravens. Côté's .925 save percentage is third in the conference among starters, trailing Ottawa's Aurélie Dubuc (.931) and Concordia's Alice Philbert (.928).

CONCORDIA GAME NOTES

• Major stat leaders
  • Goals: Emilie Lavoie – 12 
  • Assists: Emmy Fecteau – 17
  • Points: Emmy Fecteau – 28
  • Wins: Alice Philbert – 13

• The Stingers have lost once in the 2023 calendar year…their lone meeting with Ottawa.
• Emmy Fecteau has some work to do if she wants to catch Audrey-Anne Veillette for the conference points title. Both players have three games remaining in their regular seasons, and Veillette has a three-point lead.
• It's remarkable Concordia are only at number three in the U SPORTS Top 10, considering their dominant form throughout the season. Top-seeded UBC are 22-2-2 in Canada West and on a 10-game winning streak, while number two Toronto are 20-1-0-2 and haven't lost since Nov. 12.
