The Windsor Lancer women's hockey team let a two goal lead slip away, falling 6-5 in overtime to the No. 5 Toronto Varsity Blues on Saturday afternoon at South Windsor Arena.
 
With the loss, the Lancer are still looking for their first win of the season while the Blues improve to 5-0-0 and remain at the top of the OUA standings.
 
Toronto capitalized on 3-of-4 power play opportunities, while the Lancers failed to score on their fives power play chances.
 
Up 5-3 with less than four minutes remaining, the Lancers were unable to hold of the Varsity Blues as they mounted a valiant comeback. With Taylor Shephard in the box and Blues goaltender Katie Teekasingh on the bench, third-year defenceman Rebecca Bourgeois scored to bring the game within one with 3:30 to go in the third period. Then, less than two minutes later, Taylor Day evened the score with her second goal of the night, with just 1:34 left to force OT.
 
Just 25 seconds into the overtime, the visiting Blues stole the win from the Lancers as Autumn Granham snapped the puck past Lancer goaltender Marissa Kozovski.
 
Kozovski made 31 saves in net for the Blue & Gold, while Teekasingh made 34 to earn the victory.
 
Lancer goal scorers included Shawna Lesperance, Larissa Borowiec, Erinn Noseworthy, Krystin Lawrence and Taylor Conte.
 
Windsor will travel up north next weekend for a pair of games against the Nipissing Lakers and Laurentian Voyageurs.
