The University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's basketball team hosts the Brock Badgers in OUA playoff action this Wednesday, February 25 at Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport.

Tip off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets are on sale here and the game will also be streamed live on OUA.tv.

"We are excited to be hosting a playoff game within the new playoff structure," said Michèle Bélanger, now in her 36th season as Blues bench boss. "The team is pumped and ready to compete.  Our goal is to continue to play deep into March by competing every moment out on the court.  No game will be easy and we must maintain our focus on each possession, defending and executing offensively one possession at a time."
