LAURENTIAN TAKES ALL IMPORTANT GAME
The Laurentian Voyageurs moved within one point of a home playoff game this weekend with a tie and a win against division rivals. Saturday, Laurentian drew to a 1-1 tie against York. Giuseppe Politi scored in the frist half to give the visiting Voyaguers a 1-0 lead. Paul Curcio responded in the second half with this 5th goal of the year to tie the game at one apiece. Sunday, Laurentian took a 2-0 win over division rival Toronto Varsity Blues. Politi added his second goal of the weekend in the first half for the Sudbury squad. Ryan Baker added the insurance goal in the second half to give the visiting Voyageurs the 2-0 win. Will Lucia was awarded the shut out.
The win over the Varsity Blues, combined with a 1-1 tie Toronto had with Nipissing, moves Laurentian within one point of overtaking the Varsity Blues in the North standings. Eric Yung scored for the Lakers, while Kwaku Yebbah netted Toronto's lone goal in Saturday's match-up. Nipissing could not hold off a strong York Lions team however as they dominated the 5-1 game. David Calandra and Gianluca Saggese each scored twice for the Lions, who found the back of the net three time before the end of the first half. Michael Cipriani added the fifth York goal, while Alagie Gaye scored for the Lakers.
