The Round 12 fixture was condensed into one day after no play was possible on the first Saturday because of rain.
The abridged playing conditions only served to limit the extent of Toronto’s winning margin.
University won the toss and elected to bat, but were dismissed for just 70 inside 27 overs.
Paceman Andrew Somerville was tough to handle, taking 4-27 from his 10 overs, while skipper Adrian Chad claimed the remarkable figures of 4-8 from six overs.
Toronto’s opening batsman Aaron Gray (68) almost chased down the target single-handedly as the Kookaburras declared at 7-139 in pursuit of an unlikely outright win.
University reached 3-85 in their second innings when stumps were pulled.
Toronto will take on third-placed Charlestown at Ron Hill Oval this Saturday to start Round 13.
