The University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision to the Gee-Gees in OUA playoff action on Wednesday night (Oct. 25) in Ottawa.
Â
With the loss, the Blues wrap up their 2017 campaign with a 7-8-2 record through regular season and playoff action.
Â
Sophomore goalkeeper Vanna Staggolis was dominant in net, making nine saves before the Gee-Gees found the back of the mesh. Ottawa opened the scoring in the 43rd minute with a goal off the foot of Sophie Curtis.
Â
The Blues had a chance to even the match just before halftime, but a long-range free kick sailed over the net.
Â
Toronto's veterans attempted to rally the troops in the second half with some speedy footwork and precision passing, but Ottawa's backline was hard to penetrate.
Â
With 15 minutes remaining, the Blues turned up the pressure but were unable to solve Ottawa goalkeeper Margot Shore.
Â
Staggolis ended the night with 17 saves.
