U Of T men win McMaster Invitational Bonspiel

The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's curling team won the McMaster Invitational Bonspiel this weekend in Hamilton.

The U of T men earned their third invitational win of the season after finishing the weekend with a 4-1 record across the two-day bonspiel. During the four-match round-robin period, the Blues cruised to a 9-1 win over McMaster B, 7-2 win over Trent and 9-4 win over Brock, while dropping a close 5-3 decision to McMaster A. The three wins propelled U of T into the bonspiel final, setting up a rematch with McMaster A.

Continuing to showcase how even the two teams were throughout the weekend, the pair would be tied 4-4 after seven ends. However, even with the Marauders having the hammer, Toronto would score a lone point in the eighth and final end to secure a 5-4 championship victory.

The Blues will continue their invitational schedule next with the Brock University Bonspiel scheduled for Jan. 17-18. This will serve as a precursor to the OUA Championships, also set to be hosted by Brock University from Feb. 6-8 at the Welland Curling Club.
