With the home opener loss, the Blues fall to 0-3 to start their 2013-14 season, while the Hawks improve to 3-0.

Rookie guard Sarah Dillon led the Hawks with 15 points, while fourth-year veteran Laura Doyle (Guelph, Ont.) drained four from beyond the arc en route to a 14-point and eight-board performance.

U of T trailed by one point (25-24) at halftime, but a 19-11 third quarter for the Hawks gave them the lead for good. Toronto attempted to rally, but three consecutive three-pointers from Doyle sealed the Laurier win.
