The University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's water polo team defeated the Carleton Ravens 10-4 to claim the gold medal at the 2013 OUA women's water polo championship wrapped up Sunday at Varsity Pool.
 
U of T second-year standout Stephanie Watson of Victoria led all players with four goals in the win and was named the OUA championship most valuable player.
 
Third-year Blues netminder Breanna Gadzosa earned OUA most valuable goalie honours for the second time in her career, while Toronto's George Gross Jr. was named the OUA coach of the year.
 
The Blues completed a perfect OUA season with three wins at the championship and claim third title in the past six years. U of T successfully avenged a 6-5 shootout loss to Carleton in last year's final.
 
Watson's four goals topped the game, with Rosalee Brown, Ana Miroslavic, Marianne Tout, Julie Szpara, Emily Bidinosti and Danielle Hirsh getting in on the action with single tallies in the win.
 
Bidinosti and Gadzosa also earned OUA all-star honours for their stellar play over the weekend.
 
Carleton's Meaghan Broddy led the Ravens with two goals, while Sara McIlveen and Samantha Litwinczuk added one apiece in the loss.  McIlveen and Emma Opie earned all-star awards for the Ravens.
 
The Ottawa Gee-Gees women edged the McMaster Marauders 4-3 in a shootout to claim the OUA bronze medal earlier in the day. Ottawa's Tara Histov and Chantell Ouellette were named OUA all-stars as well.
