Third-year goalie Andrew Hunt made 24 saves in helping the University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's hockey team to a 4-1 victory over the Brock Badgers on Saturday night (Jan. 16) at Varsity Arena.
With the win, the Blues improve to 8-11-2 and move into sole possession of seventh place in the OUA West division.
The Blues opened the scoring as Connor Cleverly potted his sixth goal of the season just 1:58 into the game. The Badgers were quick to respond when Tyson Dallman capitalized on a turnover in the Blues zone less than four minutes later.
Second-year defenceman Corey Jackson then gave Toronto the lead, netting his first goal of the season off a nice top-corner shot that ricocheted off Badgers goalie Real Cormier and into the net.
The Blues were up 2-1 after 20 minutes.
Rookie forward Mathew Campagna extended Toronto's lead 5:07 into the second frame when he one-timed a cross-crease pass from Patrick Marsh. The Blues were up 3-1 heading into the final frame.
Third-year forward Dean Klomp widened the gap to three early in the third period, picking up a loose puck in front of the net and showing great poise to skate around a Brock defenceman before slotting it into the open net.
The Varsity Blues return to the ice next Thursday, January 21 as they travel to London, Ont., to take on the Western Mustangs. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.
