Box Score Fifth-year University of Toronto forward Taylor Day scored her 50th career regular season goal but the Varsity Blues women's hockey team fell 4-1 to the Laurentian Voyageurs on Sunday afternoon (Jan. 22) in Sudbury, Ont.
Â
The Blues win streak is snapped at five games as Toronto drops to 10-1-6-0 (W-OTW-L-OTL) but remain in third place in the OUA standings.
Â
Day opened the scoring just 36 seconds into the contest to become only the 10th player in program history to reach the 50-goal mark. She joins the likes of Team Canada legends Loris Dupuis and Andrea Hunter on U of T's all-time leading scorers list.
The Voyageurs evened the score 2:31 into the second period as Morgan McCann sent a shot through traffic to beat Blues netminder Katey Teekasingh.
Â
The two teams were tied 1-1 after 40 minutes.
Â
Laurentian took their first lead of the game early in the third period as Marie-Pierre Pelissou scored 3:48 into the final frame. Jessica Staats would add an insurance marker with just 4:42 remaining and Maggie Brennan rounded out the scoring with an empty net goal.
Â
The Varsity Blues return to action this Friday, January 27 as they host the UOIT Ridgebacks in their 10th annual Think Pink, #BleedBlue game at Varsity Arena. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
