Â
With the win, Toronto advances to their second straight OUA semi-final series. The Blues ended the six-year second round draught last season.
The top-seeded Western Mustangs have also advanced to the semi-final round. U of T and Western await the results of the Guelph/Ryerson and Laurier/Queen's quarter-final series to determine their opponents next week.
After a scoreless first period, fifth-year defenceman Stacey Oue got the Blues on the board, completing a tic-tac-toe passing play on the powerplay in the final minutes of the second. Toronto led 1-0 after 40 minutes.Â
Windsor's Candace Kourounis evened the score midway through the third when she tapped in a rebound off an Erinn Noseworthy rebound and the two teams headed to overtime.Â
Day came up with a beautiful goal, deking through some Lancers defenders before slotted the puck five-hole for the game-winner.
Fifth-year Blues netminder Nicole Kesteris made 33 saves in the win.
