University Cup

The six teams to advance to the tournament are listed below. The wild-card team was selected from the OUA Conference as the AUS was provided the wild-card in 2013 and CW teams are ineligible as they are the host conference. To avoid having two CW teams in the same pool, Saskatchewan was swapped with Carleton.
