WINDSOR, Ont. – In their first meeting in Windsor since 2015, the UOIT men's hockey team was unable to come back from allowing four unanswered goals to end the first period as they eventually fell 7-4.
The Ridgebacks came within a goal twice in the contest, but a late goal by Alex Friesen put the game out of reach.
UOIT will face the same Windsor Lancers on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Thus far, their weekend is off to a similar start to 2015 as the Ridgebacks fell 8-3 in the first game before winning the following night 3-1.
