Brock News:
The Badgers' women's hockey team led the first place Guelph Gryphons in the second period Thursday night by a score 4-0, however, they then allowed five straight goals, eventually losing 5-4. The women's next game is at Western on Nov. 3.
The women's basketball team went 1-1 on the weekend beating Ryerson, 90-72 for their first win of the exhibition season, and then falling to the University of Alberta, 75-57.
Brock's women's volleyball team travelled to both Guelph and McMaster only to lose both of their games on the weekend, 3-0 and 3-1, respectively.
