The Blues wasted no time getting on the scoreboard with a third minute goal from fourth-year forward Ava Airnes found the back of the net as the Aberdeen, Scotland native second in her second consecutive contest. In the 18

U of T kept their foot on the gas pedal in the second half as fourth-year defender Kirsten D'Silva fired a laser from the top of the D for her first career Varsity Blues goal. First-year midfielder Ellie Mullins rounded out the scoring in the 60
th minute storming through the D to tie a bow on a strong afternoon for the home team.
In goal, Mary Yang and Megan Kirkpatrick stood tall between the pipes while Toronto's defence was a force to be reckoned with, helping transition the play and backstop the Blues to a win.
