Box Score The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's hockey team fell 5-2 to the Ryerson Rams on Friday, November 10 at Varsity Arena.
Â
Rams rookie forward Cavin Leth opened the scoring with a goal just under five minutes into the first period.
Â
Toronto quickly responded as third-year forward Max Lindsay corralled a bouncing puck in the slot and turned around to shoot and find the back of the net.
Â
But just before the end of the first frame, Ryerson's Daniel Poliziani would score to give his team a 2-1 lead going into the first intermission.
Â
About five minutes into the second period, sophomore defenceman Evan MacEachern received a beautiful pass from Dean Klomp to find the back of the net and even the score at 2-2. Â
Â
However, Alex Basso notched a powerplay marker just over two minutes later and that would stand as the game-winner. Ryerson was up 3-2 after 40 minutes of action.
Â
Matt Mistele added some insurance midway through the third period and Erick Delaurentis tallied the Rams fifth goal off a penalty shot with four minutes remaining in regulation.
Â
U of T rookie netminder Frederic Foulem posted 27 saves in the loss.
Â
The Varsity Blues are back in action tomorrow (Nov. 11) as they host the Western Mustangs at Varsity Arena. The puck drops at 7 p.m with the game being streamed live on OUA.tv.
