Women’s soccer continues undefeated season

Behind a two-goal performance by forward Melanie Seabra, women’s soccer nipped Nipissing 3-2 yesterday at Birchmount stadium. The Blues (2-0-2) opened the match with a two-goal lead thanks to Lindsay Lashley’s strike, followed shortly after with Seabra’s first. But the Lakers (0-4) mounted a comeback with Nicole O’Brien finding the net at the end of the first half, and Vanessa Baxter tying it at two-all in the second. Seabra went on to ice the game with her third goal in four games, helping the Blues keep pace in the OUA East. At eight points, U of T is tied with Ottawa, as both trail Queen’s by one point in the race for the division lead.

The Blues face Ryerson Sunday in a rematch of last Saturday’s season opener. The Lashley and Seabra combo led U of T again as they both notched goals late in the second half for a 2-0 victory over the Rams at De La Salle College.

The five-goal total from yesterday’s match was an deluge compared to the previous two games played by the Blues, both 0-0 draws against Laurentian and Trent.

Blues dominate OUA East

Men’s soccer (4-0) continues to lead the OUA East pack, as their 12 points give them a five-point edge over their closest competitor, Queen’s. Next up for the undefeated squad: they host a rematch against Ryerson on Sunday, who the Blues dispatched 1-0 in last Saturday’s season opener.

Under an eleven-shot barrage, the Blues defeated Nipissing 3-0 yesterday with goals by Evan Milward, Mario Nallira and Alexander Raphael. Raphael also scored the lone goal in the Blues’ 1-0 win over Laurentian Saturday at Birchmount Stadium.

Losing streak to break?

Football will come across its best chance to attain its first victory in five years as the team plays hosts to Waterloo (0-2) this Saturday. The home opener for the Blues (0-2) will be at Birchmount Stadium at 1:00. The Warriors have been outscored 102-11 this season, and are coming off a 60-9 loss to McMaster two days ago. In their season opener, Waterloo was pinned for a 42-2 loss to Windsor.

The very same Lancer team ransacked the Blues Saturday, dropping U of T to the bitter tune of a 61-17 defeat. The game was placed out of reach in the first quarter, as four Windsor touchdowns capped with a safety had them at a 30-3 lead after fifteen minutes.
