Box Score Scoring a goal in her fourth consecutive game, fifth-year forward Taylor Day delivered the game-winner as the University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's hockey team dropped the Laurier Golden Hawks 2-1 on the road Sunday evening (Jan. 29).

The Varsity Blues improve to 12-1-6-0 (W-OTW-L-OTL) on the season and sit alone in third place.

With the goal tonight, Day moved one step closer to another milestone after becoming just the 10th player in program history to record 50 career regular season goals last weekend. Day now sits just three points shy of 100 career regular season points. If she were to reach the century mark, Day would be just the eighth player in program history to do so.

Opening the scoring on the night was third-year forward Katherine Gale who took advantage of a rebound from Laurier goaltender Amanda Smith to put the Blues ahead 1-0 after one period of play.

In the second the Golden Hawks evened the score courtesy forward Julia Talman.

U of T would increase the pressure from there, looking to break the deadlock as they outshot Laurier 43-21 on the night and Day would end the stalemate, banging home another big rebound from Smith late in the third period to secure the victory.

Second-year Blues goaltender Valencia Yordanov stood tall in her second straight start, making 20 saves on the night for the win.

The Varsity Blues now get set to challenge the No. 2 nationally ranked Guelph Gryphons next Thursday, February 2 on the road. Toronto is one of only three teams to have defeated the OUA top seed this season taking down the Gryphons 1-0 on October 22 at Varsity Arena. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. with the game being streamed live on OUA.tv.
