Varsity Blues edge Marauders for OUA title

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/action5.jpg”]Leading 8-2 at half time, the University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's water polo team survived a late McMaster attack and barely held on for their second straight Ontario University Athletics (OUA) championship title. McMaster was able to dig deep following their sudden death overtime victory the evening before and make a stunning comeback that fell just short.
Tied 2-2 after the 1st quarter, Toronto's rookie Max Pottier took control of the game scoring three goals to win the quarter 6-0. Pottier's final goal of the quarter went in the top right corner, shooting from the half pool marker. Solid play by Andrew Cherniy in net for the Blues, was the key factor in keeping the Marauders off the board.
