Canada: U SPORTS Championships Bronze Medal Game

Warriors Capture Bronze Medal at U SPORTS Championships 

The final day of the U SPORTS Invitational Field Hockey Championship would begin with the bronze medal match between the UPEI Panther and Waterloo Warriors. 

The first quarter saw the Waterloo Warriors go to work just as they did in the game yesterday. Multiple chances and short corners would culminate in a goal off of one of those short corners by Mary Lencz allowing the Warriors to take a 1-0 lead going into the second quarter.

The second quarter saw Waterloo take even more control of the game and this time they really began to take advantage on their short corners. First it would be Meagan Hobson who would find the net after a great routine by Waterloo off the short corner, before Isabella Beck would make it 3-0. Her goal would come by way of a beautiful tip-in off another short corner.  

In the second half the Warriors continued to apply some serious pressure and were not satisfied with the 3-0 scoreline as the would go on to add another 2 goals by way of Georgia Murray and Annika Johannsen to defeat the Panthers 5-0. 

With this win the Waterloo Warriors captured the bronze medal at the U SPORTS Championships to cap off a historic season at which they won their first OUA championship in over 20 years. For the UPEI Panthers they cap off their first ever appearance in the U SPORTS Field Hockey Championship and will look to repeat as Atlantic League champions once again next year.
