In their second game of the weekend, the Lancer men's hockey team lost a 5-1 contest against the Laurier Golden Hawks on Saturday night in Waterloo.
 
STATS
The blue and gold's Nathan Torchia made 21 saves on 25 shots on net, while Sean Olson contributed scored the Lancers lone goal of the night, his second of the weekend.
 
For the Golden Hawks, Christian Propp made 25 saves with 26 shots on goal to earn the win.
 
GAME FLOW
The Golden Hawks got on the board quickly as they found the back of the net just two minutes into the game. However, the Lancers did not let the lead last for long as Olsen responded to tie the game at one. Laurier put another one on the board before the break to take a 2-1 leading heading into the second period.
 
In the second period, the physicality started to increase between the two teams. Laurier's Justyn Gurney attempted two back-to-back offensive moves to try to score on Torchia but he put in a good effort to keep the puck outside of the Lancer zone. The Golden Hawks extended their lead on the power play with a good one-timer by defenseman, Conor Ali for his first OUA goal to make the score 3-1. 
 
The third period continued with a similar pace for Laurier as Windsor struggled to keep up. Unfortunately, even with the opportunities Windsor have, the Golden Hawks put up two more goals in the frame to win 5-1.
 
UP NEXT
The Lancers return home to the Capri Pizzeria Recreation Complex next weekend for a two day series against the Guelph Gryphons. Puck drops at 7:30pm on Friday, February 18th and at 4:00pm on Saturday, February 19th.
