It started out like the previous three games for the Laurier Golden Hawks football squad, but some bad breaks in the fourth quarter lead to the University of Toronto Blues exploding for 30 unanswered points. Heading into the game the Blues and Hawks were ranked one, two respectively, and shared first place in the OUAA division with perfect records. The 45-21 win for the Blues likely assures them of a playoff berth, while Laurier needs at least one more win to secure a ride to the Skydome. The game was a lot closer than the score would suggest as Laurier had a 21-15 lead with only twelve minutes to go in the contest. The wheels kind offell offfor the Hawks and the Blues capitalized on the opportunities to snatch the win and sole possession of first place. "I guess we only played for a little over three quarters." suggested coach Rich Newbrough. Right offthe start WLU looked rather impressive, mounting an early drive that covered nearly the whole length of the field. Bill Kubas completed some big passes to Peter Hwang and two to Craig Brenner who scored the game's first touchdown. Later in the first quarter a brutal boot by the Toronto punter took a bad hop in front of punt returner Stefan Ptaszek and bounced up off his helmet to be recovered by the Blues inside the Laurier zone. Toronto capitalized and moved the ball inside the five yard line when QB Mario Sturino fired a bomb to Glen McCausland who pulled the ball down. It looked as though he may have been out of bounds on the play but no call was made by the ref. The Blues then put the ball in the end zone to even the score at seven.
