UTM Tri-campus Sports Rewind
How the Eagles performed during the 2025/2026 sports season
Over the course of the 2025/2026 school year, the Eagles have etched their names into UTM history. It hasn’t always been a smooth sailing season, but student-athletes across campus have helped create a vibrant sporting atmosphere at UTM. From dishing out amazing passes to batting close to perfection, UTM has a sporting environment to be proud of. Here’s how The Eagles performed this season.
A mixed season for mixed ultimate frisbee
One of the more underrepresented tri-campus teams on campus is the Mixed Ultimate Frisbee team. With one win, two ties, and four losses to their name this campaign, it was hard to see a world where the men and women could win the championship. The Eagles made it to the semi-finals of the playoffs and narrowly missed out on a place in the final. A bitter 6-3 loss at the hands of the University of St. George (UTSG) Red at Varsity East Field sent the Eagles back to Mississauga.
The Eagles will be looking to win the tri-campus ultimate league for the first time in almost five years next season. Check out the Flickr to get a glimpse of the squad in action
Striving for Cricketing Perfection
This season was nothing short of memorable for both Men’s and Women’s cricket. For the Men’s team, they managed a near-perfect record, winning 3 out of the 5 tournaments they took part in. They secured trophies from games at Humber, Centennial and of course the home grounds of UTM. It was only Sheridan and a second attempt to win at home that the wicket proved difficult for the Eagles, as the men’s team placed 4th and 6th, respectively. For the Women’s team, however, they had a perfect podium record playing 1st and 2nd at both our home tournaments and 2nd at Humber North. One more thing of note was that they also took home two fair play awards, thus leaving something for the boys to learn when it comes to keeping a cool head during a heated season.

Dangles, Bardowns, and Celly’s on the Ice
Despite Canada winning a gold and silver at the winter Olympics in ice hockey, there was a lot left to be desired for the UTM teams this season. The Men’s Tri-campus team won just three games out of 14 games, and the women’s team had only one outing where they could rejoice with favourable results. Yet the silver lining from this campaign was that both teams held their heads high despite the season being one to forget. It is only up from here, and the UTM hockey fandom can rest assured that a comeback story is destined for our Eagles on Ice.
Going for the double and a shot at revenge
Over the course of the 2025/2026 season, UTM soccer has performed exceptionally well. The Men’s Tri-campus team won the league with a 4-0 drubbing over UTSG Red in the championship game, and the Women’s team narrowly missed out on their final win with questionable decision-making made by the officiating team.
The winter semester came with opportunities for both squads. For the men, they had their eyes set on a historic double, winning both the outdoor and indoor competitions two seasons in a row. Unfortunately, they couldn’t secure another multiple-trophy season. Pietro Arrigoni, midfielder for the Eagles and team captain, reflected on the team’s season, “I’d say the season was good, the group of guys was amazing and the coaches did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, we fell short of our goal, but we’ll be back next year to reclaim the title.”
The Women’s tri-campus team wanted to set the record straight. But with zero wins, two ties, and five losses, an appearance in the finals wasn’t meant to be.
