The Varsity Blues women’s rugby team lost 28-10 in a hard-fought match against the Waterloo Warriors on Friday, September 21 at Varsity Centre.
 
With the win, Waterloo (3-1) bounces back after a 47-0 loss to Guelph last week, while Toronto is now 1-3-0 and tied for fourth in the OUA Russell division.
 
All 13 of Toronto’s points were scored in the first half. The Blues opened the scoring with a try from Bailey Rudnick (Ottawa) 24 minutes into the game.  However, Waterloo responded with a try from Sarah Jane Garland (New Hamburg, Ont.), one of her two of the game.
 
The Warriors went ahead; however, U of T’s Karla Telidetzki of Edmonton scored a second try near the end of the half to bring the game within three (13-10) at halftime.

Toronto’s defensive play helped keep the game close in the second half, stifling multiple attempts by Waterloo early on. However, a try by Briana Cunningham (Waterloo, Ont.), and two second half penalty kicks helped Waterloo extend their lead and secure the win.
 
The Varsity Blues return to action next Saturday, September 29 when they host the York Lions at Varsity centre. Game time is set for 4 p.m.
