Box Score The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's hockey team dropped a narrow 1-0 decision to the Laurier Golden Hawks in their final regular season home game on Friday, February 3 at Varsity Arena.
 
Laurier's Derek Schoenmakers scored the lone goal of the game, burying a rebound off a Alex Annecchiarico point shot at the 5:18 mark of the second frame.
 
The Blues nearly evened the game in the dying minutes as Dean Klomp skated down the ice on a shorthanded breakaway, but Laurier netminder Colin Furlong came up with the save.
 
Fourth-year Blues netminder Michael Nishi posted 37 saves in the loss, while Furlong made 25 in the shutout victory.
