This is not the finish you are looking for
A season of promise and visible improvement ended for the football team on Saturday, but the result was not the one the Blues were looking for. McMaster humbled U of T 63-13 in front of a disappointed crowd at Varsity Stadium.
The Marauders were in control of the game after the first half, as they had already scored six touchdowns, while the Blues managed but a single field goal in the first 30 minutes. Marauder Jon Behie caught three of the touchdown passes and racked up 105 passing yards on the day.
Cory Kennedy caught the only TD pass for the Blues in the match, which came off a 20-yard pass from Mark Stinson late in the third quarter.
The untouchables
The women’s volleyball team started off the season in fine style last weekend, defeating Waterloo and Laurier at the AC in their first two games. The Blues won both matches in straight sets and were untouchable on the court.
Mila Miguel was on fire in both games. She managed 11 points against the Warriors, 12 points against the Golden Hawks, as well an abundance of kills and digs in the contests. Expect big things from the tall Victoria, B.C. native this season.
Melinda Lee, Leah Towell, and Asya Danilova also put up big numbers on the weekend. Western is in for a difficult title defence this season if this trio keeps and Miguel keep producing points at such a high rate. The Blues are one of the early favourites for the OUA championship this season. Untouchable indeed.
