Unfortunately, because of the sudden passing of her father, Brock's All-Star goalie Tisha Barnes was unable to attend the finals. With an hour of practice time under her belt, first time goalie Dawn Elliott agreed to step in. Rookie Megan Rabourn was also sidelined with injury.

Ranked number one in the OUA West, Brock headed to the University of Toronto Erindale Campus to play York University, the fourth ranked team from the OUA East. The Badgers were able to handle the York team, and came away with a 13-4 win. Players of the Game were goalie Laura Gaiotto from York, and Les Maybury from Brock.

For the semi-final game, Brock played the eventual champion Queen's University. While able to remain competitive for the first half, the Badgers lost much of their steam when senior player Lianne Turner was taken off with a sprained ankle. Outplayed, Brock lost 12-5. Players of the Game were goalie Barb Phibbs from Queens, and defender Heather Hurst from Brock.

Brock played for the bronze medal in an extremely tight game against the top ranked team in the East, the University of Toronto. While the Badgers were down 5-3 at the half, a brief spurt brought the game to a tie. Exchanging goals throughout the second half, the game ended in a 7-7 tie and went to a ten-minute overtime period. The overtime settled nothing, as it again ended in a tie, 9-9. This pushed the game to a six-minute sudden death overtime. After several missed opportunities, U of T was able to break away and score the deciding goal. Brock lost a tough game, 10-9. Players of the Game were Angela Marrocco from U of T, and goalie Dawn Elliott from Brock.
