The University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's rugby team dropped a narrow 27-26 decision to the Trent Excalibur on Saturday evening (Sept. 23) in Peterborough, Ont.
 
Down 17-0 at the half, the Blues show great resiliency as they brought the game within one (22-21) midway through the second half. Both teams added one more try in the eventual one-point decision.
 
Sophomore wing Khadi Dako led the Blues once again, scoring two tries on the day, while Nicole Butkovic and Katie Faust each scored once. Monika Hirsch added two converts in the loss.
