The Varsity Blues field hockey team shut out the Queen’s Gaels 9-0 on Sunday morning (Oct. 14) at Downsview Park.
 
With the win, the Blues improve to 9-0 and remain perfect heading into the final week of the regular season.
 
U of T used their speed and technical ability to outplay Queen’s. 2011 CIS rookie of the year Amanda Woodcroft (Waterloo, Ont.) opened the scoring with the eventual game-winner in the 23^rd minute off a stroke.
 
Third-year midfielder Tegan Stairs, her sister Emma and four-time CIS all-Canadian Kaelan Watson each had two goals, while Kelley Lusk and Alison Lee rounded out the scoring with single tallies.
 
The Varsity Blues return to the field next Saturday, October 20 as they travel to Kingston, Ont., for two games versus the Western Mustangs (10:45 a.m.) and York Lions (4pm).
