Box Score Fourth-year forward Taylor Day scored two goals in leading the No. 5 nationally ranked University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's hockey team to a 3-1 victory over the Laurentian Voyageurs on Saturday night (Nov. 28) at Varsity Arena.

With the win, the Blues wrap up the first half of the season with a 6-2-1-3 (W-OTW-L-OTL) record, in fourth place in the OUA standings.

Laurentian got on the board just six seconds into the third period, scoring off the opening faceoff, but Toronto restored their two-goal advantage with a goal off the stick of Sonja Weidenfelder seven minutes later.

First-year goalie Valencia Yordanov posted 20 saves in the win.

The Varsity Blues are back in action in the new year as they host two exhibition games versus the York Lions and McGill Martlets, January 2-3, at Varsity Arena. Regular season action resumes on Friday, January 8 when Toronto travels to North Bay to take on the Nipissing Lakers.
