The Lancer men's hockey team took a tough 9-1 loss to the Ryerson Rams Saturday afternoon in Toronto.
 
The loss moves the Lancers to 11-11-2 on the season and into a tie for fourth place with the Laurier Golden Hawks, while the Rams won their fourth straight and improved to 17-4-1 to remain atop the OUA west division standings.
 
Ryerson struck first when Windsor allowed a turnover in front of their net just 4:46 into the first period. The Lancers tied it up at 13:34 after a cross-ice pass was deflected off a Ryerson stick and back into the hands of Sebastian Beaureguard who passed it off nicely to Chad Shepley for the goal.
 
Unfortunately, Ryerson answered back with a power play goal just 34 seconds later to close out the first period with a score of 2-1.
 
From then on it was all Ryerson, as Windsor spent a total of 26 minutes in the penalty box, and allowing 5 power play goals.
 
Shots on goal were equally matched throughout the game, with both teams ending up with 33, but it was Ryerson who came out on top with the win.
 
Lancers will be on the road Wednesday January 25th to play the Western Mustangs at 7:00pm in London before returning home on Friday January 27th for their final regular season home game.
