With three games remaining in the regular season, the Blues are at the top of the table in the OUA East with a 7-1-1 record.

Six different Blues found the back of the net in the match and it took just two minutes to open the scoring when fifth-year forward Kingsley Belele found the back of the net. In the 27^th minute a goal from first-year midfielder Micah Joseph extended the lead to 2-0 going into halftime.

The Blues momentum carried into the second half as 15 seconds in, fourth-year midfielder Russell Stewart scored the eventual game-winning goal. Trent fought back as a 53^rd minute goal from John Moncada got them on the board. Moncada added a second goal of the match in the 70^th minute as U of T's lead was cut down to one goal.

The Blues kept their foot on the gas pedal with three insurance goals to put the game out of reach. A goal from first-year standout Jordan Grey regained Toronto's two goal advantage. Meanwhile, an 85^th minute goal from third-year midfielder Quinton Chung and a 90^th minute goal from second-year defender John Ntoukas served as important insurance makers as the Blues secured an important three-points in the standings.
