Team co-captain Mario Kovacevic opened the scoring in the 30th minute when he deked around a Trent defender and sent the ball into the far left side of the net.

Fellow co-captain Ezequiel Lubocki followed suit, and seven minutes later received a pass from Nirun Sivananthan and sent a booming shot from outside the box into the back of the net.

Toronto was up 2-0 at the half.

Fourth-year defender Justin Liendo added a late goal in the 87th minute to round out the scoring.
