Box Score The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's soccer team upset the No. 2 nationally ranked Ryerson Rams 2-1 on Wednesday, October 12 at Downsview Park.

With the win, the Blues improve to 10-2-2 and move into second place in the competitive OUA East division. With only three regular season games remaining, Toronto also clinches at least a top four position, securing home field advantage for the first round of the playoffs.

Second-year midfielder Harry Michelis put Toronto up by two in the 37th minute with a goal assisted by co-captain Lukas MacNaughton. The goal marked Michelis' fifth of the season and second in as many games.
Â
The Rams got on the board just two minutes later as Adam Hemati converted on a penalty kick and Toronto held a 2-1 lead at the half.
Â
Ryerson outshot U of T 5-3 in the second half, but none of their chances were able to hit net and the Blues held on for the one-goal victory.
Â
Blues goalkeeper Mark Rogal earned the win in net.
Â
The Varsity Blues return to action this Sunday, October 16 when they travel to Sudbury, Ont., to take on the Laurentian Voyageurs. Game time is set for 2:15 p.m.
