The Mustangs will be back in action this week, as the women's hockey team will play host to the Toronto Varsity Blues on Friday before hitting the road to take on the Ryerson Rams Saturday afternoon.
 
The Mustangs will be looking to continue their early season success, as they attempt to stay undefeated in regulation. The team is 3-0-0-1, with their only loss being in the shootout to the Brock Badgers, good for second in the OUA.
 
The Mustangs offense has combined for 15 goals in four games, led by fifth years Amanda Pereira and Megan Taylor. Pereira has three goals in four games, good for her to be tied second in the OUA, while Taylor has three assists and five points. The defence has proved strong as well, allowing only six goals to slip past first year goaltender Carmen Lasis. Lasis has stepped into the role of starting goalie to start the season, registering 105 saves in four games, the third highest in the OUA.
