The Blues women finished atop the OUA East division for the fourth time in the past six seasons with a 17-2 record. Toronto led the province with the most sets won (55) and fewest sets lost (18).

Should U of T be victorious on Saturday, they would host the OUA Quigley Cup Final Four, March 6-7, at Goldring Centre, where the top two teams will advance to the 2020 U SPORTS championships, March 13-15, at the University of Calgary.

But the road to Calgary starts with the Waterloo Warriors. The Warriors finished the 2019-20 season with an 11-8 record, in fourth place in the OUA West division. The two teams met last Friday in their lone meeting of 2019-20, with Toronto coming out on top, 3-0 (25-19, 25-16, 25-21).

Toronto’s men finished the season with a near-perfect 17-1 record, sitting first in the OUA East division and holding the best record in the province for the first time since 2003-04.  The Blues won a league-best 51 sets and ranked third in fewest sets lost (19).

The Blues will be battling for a spot in the OUA Final Four for the second straight season, which will be hosted by the top seed in the West next weekend (March 6-8). The top three teams in the OUA will advance to the 2020 U SPORTS championships, March 13-15, at the University of Manitoba.

The Brock Badgers finished fourth in the OUA West with a 7-10 record. The two squads met back in November with the Blues coming away with a 3-1 (25-17, 22-25, 25-16, 27-25) victory in St. Catharines.
