Box Score Fourth-year netminder Andrew Hunt posted 40 saves as the University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's hockey team dropped a narrow 2-1 decision to the No. 5 nationally ranked Queen's Gaels on Saturday, January 28 at Varsity Arena.
Â
U of T veteran forward Connor Cleverley got the Blues on the score sheet first early in the contest with a beautiful backhanded pass in front of the net from fellow veteran Russell Turner.
Â
Queen's would battle back in the second period, registering 23 shots on net in the frame and scoring two goals courtesy of back-to-back goals from Brock Edwards and Alex Atothart.
Â
Just under a minute into the third period, Blues netminder Andrew Hunt made a great pad save to shut down the Gaels. He would continue to make great saves for the rest of the period to keep the game within reach. Â
Â
The Blue and White are back in action on February 3 when they take on the Laurier Golden Hawks at Varsity Arena. Puck drops at 7 pm.
