Football: StFX at Acadia
The X-Men visit the Axemen at Raymond Field in Wolfville, N.S. With a 5-1 record so far this season, the StFX X-Men have clinched first place and hosting rights to the 2016 Subway AUS Loney Bowl being held Nov. 12 in Antigonish, N.S.
Acadia suffered a tough loss in their homecoming game last weekend, losing 15-13 to Mount Allison after a Axemen field goal was blocked in the final minute. Sitting in last place (1-5), the Axemen are in pursuit of a much-needed win in an effort to earn a place in the Nov. 5 semifinal game.

Football: Saint Mary's at Mount Allison
The Huskies and the Mounties currently sit tied in the standings, each with a 2-4 record. Saint Mary's suffered a tough 45-6 loss last weekend at the hands of the first-place StFX X-Men. But they have earned wins against the Mounties in both of their earlier meetings this season.
Coming off a win last weekend versus Acadia, the Mounties look to gain an edge in the standings Saturday as they fight for a playoff spot and the hosting rights to the championship semifinal.
