The University of Toronto Varsity Blues field hockey team played to a 1-1 draw versus the McMaster Marauders on Sunday (Oct. 4) afternoon at Back Campus Fields.
The Blues found themselves trailing early in the match when Clara Gerardin found the back of the net in the sixth minute. Play from behind, Toronto continued to show the resilience that they've shown throughout the season and got their equalizer in the 28
th minute. With their relentless attack, the Blue and White earned a penalty corner and first-year forward Vanessa Marques pounced on the ball and fired home her first OUA gold.
The two teams continued to battle it out throughout the second half of the match but neither team could solve goalkeepers Mary Yang and Aislinn Mierau before the final whistle.
With four games remaining in the season, U of T has a 4-1-3 (W-L-T) record and are back on the field on Saturday (Oct. 11) afternoon for a date with the Waterloo Warriors in Waterloo. The game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
