Box Score The University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's hockey team fell 3-2 to the Waterloo Warriors on Saturday afternoon (Nov. 11) at Varsity Arena.
Â
With the loss, the Blues move to 4-0-3-0 (W-OTW-L-OTL), while the Warriors advance to 4-1-1-0 early in the season.
Â
The Warriors opened the scoring halfway into the first period on the powerplay with Maryn Caragata finishing a Tegan Odland rebound.
Â
Capitalizing on a two-man advantage, Blues veteran Meagan O'Brien then tipped in a Gabrielle De Serres shot 13 minutes into the second period to even the score at 1-1.
Â
U of T fifth-year netminder Katey Teekasingh made a spectacular short handed cross crease save with just five minutes left in the second frame to keep the contest tied heading into the third.
Â
However, Waterloo would take back their lead with an early third period goal from Cynthia Cavanagh, who just snuck the puck around Teekasingh's skate.
Â
Then, the Warriors furthered their lead with a goal from Angela MacDonald at the 12 minute mark of the third period.
Â
U of T brought the score to a one goal differential with Kassie Roache tipping in a Rebecca Bourgeois shot with just 20 second left in the contest, but the two third-period goals from the Warriors proved too costly.
Â
Teekasingh posted 16 saves in the loss with her Waterloo counterpart Stephanie Sluys making 14.
Â
The Blue and White are back in action on Friday, November 17 as they travel to North Bay, Ont., to take on the Nipissing Lakers. Puck drops at 4:30 p.m and will be live streamed on OUA.tv.
