The No. 10 University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's hockey team dropped a 3-1 decision to the York Lions in their regular season finale on Friday night (Feb. 13) at Varsity Arena.

The Varsity Blues end their 2014-15 regular season campaign with a 16-5-3 record, having already clinched a top four position and home ice advantage in the first round.  U of T awaits the conclusion of the regular season to determine their final standing and first round opponent.

York netminder Megan Lee posted 35 saves in the win, while Kristen Barbara scored two goals within 24 seconds of each other early in the third period to seal the win.

The Blues opened the scoring midway through the first period as Taylor Day forced a turnover and found Kristi Riseley, who made no mistake backhanding the puck past Lee.

U of T goalie Katey Teekasingh made a nice save on Raeanna Kelly a few minutes later and Lee kept the game within reach, robbing Blues defenceman April Looije all alone in front of the net on the powerplay at the end of the frame.

Lee continued to deny the Blues chances, making a nice pad save on a Becki Bowering one-timer in front and a few minutes later, York's Lisa Stathopulos notched her OUA-leading 17th goal of the season, wiring a shot past into the top corner.

Late in the second period, the Blues came up with a 3 on 1 off a turnover high in U of T's zone, but Lee once again denied the attack and the game was deadlocked 1-1 heading into the final frame.

Teekasingh made 22 saves in the loss.
