Amy Wilson and Bailey Maxwell scored two goals each as the Fanshawe Falcons women's soccer team defeated the St. Clair Saints 8-0 back on October 12. The win clinched second place in the Western Conference for Fanshawe, giving them a first round bye and a home playoff game.

Despite allowing eight goals, the score could have been much higher if it had not have been for some spectacular saves from the St. Clair keeper. Maxwell's two goals made her the team's new scoring leader with six on the year. She surpassed Jaynie VanDeWalle who is second on the team with five goals.

A first round bye means the Falcons will host a Western Conference semi-final game with hopes to advance to the OCAA final four, which will be played at Humber College this year on October 28 and 29.

As of October 18, the team leads the league offensively with 35 goals, allowing just four. Their record sits at 6-1-0 with one game to be played. The only loss of the season was against the defending champions the Humber Hawks, who defeated the Falcons 3-2 back on October 1.

Humber and Fanshawe have won the last three provincial titles and rankings have these two teams at the top of Ontario again. Humber is currently ranked second in the country, while Fanshawe is ranked fifth.

The Falcons have won more provincial titles than any other school in Ontario, and this year they are in search of their seventh. Although coming very close in 2009 finishing with silver medals, Fanshawe has never won a national championship. The Canadian Championship will be hosted this year by Collège François-Xavier- Garneau, with the games being played November 9 to 12 in Quebec City.
