Thursday night they will host the Dalhousie Tigers (9-10) at 7pm at the Keating Centre and Sunday afternoon they’ll travel to Sackville, NB for an afternoon game against the Mount Allison Mounties. The X-Women have already clinched first place in the AUS conference and a first round bye in the AUS championship tournament coming up Feb. 22-24 at Saint Mary’s University.
