The University of Toronto Varsity Blues head to Ryerson University for the 2018 OUA women's volleyball Final Four, March 9-10, at Mattamy Athletic Centre.
The Blues, who finished second in the OUA East division with a 15-4 record, will take on the West's top seeded McMaster Marauders (17-2) in semi-final action on Friday night at 8 p.m.

Toronto booked their ticket to their seventh consecutive Final Four following a thrilling 3-2 win over Guelph last Saturday, while the OUA defending champion Marauders blanked the York Lions, 3-0, to advance to their third straight Final Four.
The Marauders topped the Blues, 3-1, in the two team's lone regular season meeting this year, but run into a red hot Toronto team, who have won their last eight matches.
It will be a battle of the players of the year as U of T's Alina Dormann and McMaster's Maicee Sorensen go head-to-head.
Dormann, who earned East player of the year honours for the third straight season, led the OUA with 3.66 kills per set, while ranking second with 4.6 points per set. Sorensen was named the West division's player of the year after ranking second in the conference with a .432 hitting percentage and fifth in the OUA with .55 aces her set.
It will also be a winner takes all Final Four as only the OUA champion will advance to the 2018 U SPORTS championships, March 16-18, at Laval.
