The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's water polo team claimed the 2014 OUA championship banner with a 7-6 win over the Carleton Ravens on Sunday afternoon in Ottawa.

Toronto claims their ninth OUA title in the past 13 years and 30th overall in program history. The Blues earned their spot in the championship final with an 18-4 win over McMaster in semi-final action yesterday.

Chapman and Topan were named 2014 OUA all-stars.  Varsity Blues bench boss Vlad Tasevski also earned OUA coach of the year honours.

The two teams were tied 2-2 after the first quarter, Toronto took the lead for good with two goals in the second frame and were up 4-2 at halftime. 

Carleton brought the game within one (5-4) at the end of the third, but the Blues held on with both teams adding two more goals in the 7-6 win.
