TORONTO – The Brock Badgers women's basketball team opened their 2022-23 OUA campaign with an impressive 70-49 win over the Toronto Varsity Blues on Friday night.

Leading the Badgers offensively, Madalyn Weinert registered a game-high 15 points in the win, adding eight rebounds, two assists, and three steals to round out her stat line.

Also reaching double-digits for Brock, Theresa Brown finished the night with 13 points, while Oluwatito Akinnusi scored nine off the bench.
