On Friday, March 22nd at Edmonton, Josh Lazowski scored a goal and assisted on five more including four by Michael Piluso as the Ooks outscored the Trojans 7-2.

On Saturday, March 23rd at Calgary, Andy Willigar netted the winner with 6:08 gone in the second overtime as NAIT edged SAIT 2-1.

The two teams split their regular season series with the Ooks winning two in regulation and the Trojans winning one in overtime and one in regulation.
