Tyler Yasaka, who plays with Oakville Soccer Club, scored in the Ontario University Athletics final on Saturday, Nov. 7, as the Toronto Metropolitan University Bold beat Guelph 3-0. It is the first OUA title in the history of TMU's men's soccer program. OUA runs varsity sport among Ontario's universities.
The Bold won the OUA East Division in the regular season and went into the playoffs as the No. 1 seed. They survived a quarterfinal penalty shootout, then edged the McMaster Marauders 1-0 in the semifinal at Downsview Park to reach the final.
Yasaka appeared 12 times for the Bold this season and started nine of those games, the club says.
He isn't the only OSC player to stand out in university soccer this fall. Days earlier, the club congratulated Leart Nura on being named OUA West Rookie of the Year with Brock. Nura, Abbie Russell and Maria Godoy-Atrash, who play for the club's Ontario Premier League teams, also earned OUA Second Team All-Star honours for 2026.
