The University of Toronto Varsity Blues will be vying for their 12th provincial title in the past 17 years as the hosts the 2018 OUA men's water polo championship, November 30 – December 2, at Varsity Pool.
The Blues have had an impressive 2018 season, going a perfect 10-0 against OUA competition, while outscoring their opponents 99-43.
Included in U of T's 10 victories were three wins over the Carleton Ravens. Toronto and Carleton have met in the last seven OUA championship gold-medal matches, with the Blues holding a 4-3 advantage, including winning the past two banners.
Two-time OUA all-star Euan Scoffield is certainly a player to watch this weekend. The fourth-year veteran from Ottawa has continued his stellar play in 2018, and earned U of T Invitational MVP honours after leading the Blues with eight goals in four games.
Similarly, third-year standout Marko Avdalovic earned tournament MVP laurels at the Carleton Invitational after potting seven goals two weeks ago in Ottawa.
As the No. 1 seed, U of T receives a first-round bye and will face the winner of McMaster/Western in semi-final action on Saturday at 4:15 p.m. The championship will wrap up with the gold-medal game on Sunday at 3:45 p.m.
