The Brock Badgers men's rugby team have lost their final contest of the season.
Â
Looking to put an end to their three-game losing streak, the Badgers were unable to leave Toronto with a victory, as they were beaten 25-21 by the Toronto Varsity Blues on Saturday, Oct. 17.
Â
The Badgers were led in scoring by senior
Grant Meadows, who scored two tries in his final OUA game for the Brock Badgers.
Â
The fifth-year back row got the night started with a try in the 7th minute, to help give Brock an early 7-0 lead. A swift response from Toronto just three minutes later set the tone for the night, as the Blues answered back to keep the contest tight in the opening stages.
Â
With Brock leading by a conversion at halftime, they were unable to hold onto their advantage throughout the second period of play. Toronto scored three times to open the half through a drop goal, try, and penalty to put the game out of reach, despite a late try from Meadows in the 71st minute.
Â
With the result, the Badgers season has come to an end, with the team finishing their campaign with a 2-4 record. Brock young core showed growth and gained valuable experience throughout the year, laying the foundation heading into next season.
