The University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's lacrosse team defeated the UOIT Ridgebacks 9-5 to claim the 2014 OUA bronze medal on Sunday afternoon in Oshawa.

The Blues end their 2014 campaign with an impressive 11-3-1 record and earn their first OUA podium finish since the 2009.

Third-year veteran Katie McCurdy of Orillia, Ont., led the Blues with five goals, while Kelly Robinson, Carly Heitzner, Jessica Kras and Mary Anne Meerasabeer each tallied one in the victory.

UOIT's Brittany Simmons scored the first goal of the game, but Toronto scored four straight off the sticks of Katie McCurdy (2), Kelly Robinson and Carly Heitzner to make it 4-1 midway through the opening half.
 
Jill Carroll cut the lead to two with her goal for UOIT, but McCurdy scored her third of the game at the 21:28 mark to make it 5-2.
 
Taylor Landry, offensive MVP for the championship, scored twice in the final three minutes for UOIT to send the team into the half trailing 5-4.
 
Toronto's Jessica Kras, McCurdy and Mary Anne Meerasabeer all scored to start the second half before Landry's third goal of the game at the 16:50 mark.
 
McCurdy scored her fifth of the game with just over 10 minutes to play to lift her team to a bronze medal.
