Live: CIS Women's Soccer Championships: UPEI v. UBC
Last night's Panthers game was a blast, but they'll be in just as tough against a big, strong, fast UBC team that struggled to finish against Laurier yesterday.
If the two teams replicate yesterday's form (something CBU and Laval absolutely didn't do) then this could be another excellent game for the hosts.
I'll be here from 3:45pm.

The consolation semi-finals start at 12:45pm on a much warmer and more comfortable day in Charlottetown. These four teams eliminated from trophy contention yesterday can still finish as high as fifth.

Live: CIS Women's Soccer Championships: Montreal v. UPEI
Follow Dylan as his brain turns to grey-green mush during the fourth game of a very, very long Thursday from 7:00pm. How coherent the blog is may depend quite directly on the proximity of a pizza place to the field in Charlottetown. Dylan's hoping one is close, and that the Laurier-UBC game doesn't go to extra-time.
The blog is after the jump, except on Haligonia, where you'll need to use the links after checking out all the great writers on the site and sounding off on the forum.
The media hype for this tournament in Charlottetown is incredible, and this game should be packed and intense.

Live: CIS Women's Soccer Championships: Wilfred Laurier v. University of British Columbia
Join Dylan at 3:30pm for an epic aerial battle between the Golden-Hawks and Thunderbirds, two significant contenders at this year's tournament. Only one, of course, can make it through the semi-finals. UBC play up-tempo attacking soccer. Laurier don't, or are, at least, defensively responsible, which takes the fun out of everything.

The miracle continues for the Cascades, unless the Rouge et Or end it here at 1:00pm.
Dylan will be here at 12:30pm UNLESS the previous game goes into extra-time, in which case he'll be over whenever he gets a chance.
If you're on Haligonia, technical issues prevent posting the blog directly. Use the links below to head to a different site, but check out the other great writers on Haligonia before you go and drop by the forums to chime in on our discussion of the tournament.

Live: CIS Women's Soccer Championships: Cape Breton v. Queen's
Join Dylan and his stable, Canada Games leftover internet connection at 9:30am (9:30! AM!) for what should be one of the better games of the tournament.
A solid but exposed Gaels team will have to contend with a rolling and talented Capers squad that could unseat one of the tournament favourites.
Find out who gets to mark Jacqueline Tessier and argue about whether Jessica Furtado looks like Carlos Tevez or not after the jump. And, as always, if you're reading on Haligonia or some mobile devices, you won't see the CoverItLive window. Follow the links and you will see it. While you're at Haligonia, head over to the forums and discuss the playoffs in our thread.

CIS Championships to be Webcast on SSN
By Dylan Matthias
I've received a number of queries over the weekend about webcasting.
Acadia did not webcast the AUS championships. There is no publically available video for that tournament beyond my badly filmed and hastily edited highlight packs.
The good news--and news that will spare you from further highlight packs--is that according to Canada West, the CIS championships will be streamed on SSN.
SSN doesn't have the games on its schedule yet, but Canada West are a pretty authoritative source, so it's somewhat safe to assume I'll have two hands next weekend to live-blog.
And while we're at it, may as well plug the CIS live-blogs and preview shows: Dal Soccer Live will live-blog the CIS nationals, hopefully with a moderately better connection than we had at Acadia this weekend. I believe Bill McLean will be previewing the tournament on CKDU some time between 10:30 and noon on Tuesday. The live-blogs will be cross-posted along with daily wrap-ups to the CIS Blog and Haligonia.ca, as well as dalgazette.com.
--Dylan Matthias is the incoming sports editor at the Dalhousie Gazette. He runs Dal Soccer Live on the side to provide more in-depth coverage of AUS and ACAA soccer. He has been a Toronto FC fan since Danny Dichio scored the team's first ever goal. It showed him the magic of soccer.
