Game of the Week

Field Hockey

BLUES HOST DEFENDING CHAMPS SUNDAY

The University of Toronto Varsity Blues field hockey team hosts the two-time OUA reigning champion York Lions in our Under Armour Game of the Week this Sunday, September 29 at Back Campus Fields.
 
Game time is set for 12:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. The team will also be celebrating their graduating players in a special pre-game ceremony. 
 
Toronto is the only remaining undefeated team in the OUA, following a 2-0-1 weekend, which saw the Blues tie the Guelph Gryphons, 2-2, and defeat the Lions, 3-1.
 
U of T currently has five players ranked in the top 10 of league scoring. Fourth-year veteran Emily Ziraldo leads all players with 12 goals in seven games, while third-year forward Anna Costanzo has scored six goals so far this season. Sophomore forward Lucia Plunkett has five goals, all of which came in a 12-0 lopsided victory over McGill last weekend, while both Katie Lynes and Rachel Spouge have tallied four times in 2019.
 
Toronto also boasts one of the best defensive corps in the country as they have only conceded four goals in seven games. This is thanks in large part to fourth-year goalie Elizabeth O'Hara, who has appeared in all seven games, earning four shut outs in the process.
