Box Score The University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's hockey team dropped a 3-1 decision to the Queen's Gaels on Sunday, November 27 at Varsity Arena.
Â
With the loss, the Blues drop to 5-1-5-0 (W-OTW-L-OTL) heading into the December exam break.
Â
The Gaels scored early and often as fourth-year forward Megan Farrell opened the scoring just 1:01 into the contest as her shot snuck under the glove of Blues netminder Hailey Farrelly.
Â
Queen's took a 2-0 lead less than five minutes later when Kaylie Dennis buried an Amber Sealey rebound.
Â
The Blues shone throughout the second period, outshooting the Gaels 12-5, but Queen's goalie Stephanie Pascal stood on her head to keep the Blues off the score sheet.
Â
Toronto was able to spoil the shut out though as third-year defenceman Julia Szulewska sent a point shot through traffic on a 6-on-5 opportunity with 1:37 to go, but the Blues were unable to find the back of the net again.
Â
Gaels forward Nadia Larocca added an empty-netter with 47 seconds remaining to secure the victory.
Â
Farrelly ended the game with 25 saves.
Â
The Varsity Blues resume regular season action in the New Year as they travel to Windsor, Ont., on Wednesday, January 4 to take on the Lancers. Game time is set for 1 p.m.
