Box Score The Waterloo Warriors fought back from 2-0 down to grab an all-important single point but could not pick up the victory falling to the Toronto Varsity Blues 3-2 in a shootout on Sunday afternoon at the Varsity Arena. 

Kelly O'Hanlon and Callie Bazak each scored in the shootout to lift the Blues to victory.  With win Toronto moves to 10-8-1 on the season, one point back of Windsor for fifth place in the OUA while Waterloo remains in eighth with a 6-10-3 record. 

Sophomore goaltender Krista Funke (Regina) came into today's action with the top save percentage in the OUA (0.935). Funke was solid throughout the contest, making 25 saves for the win.

The Blues came out strong, dominating the first period and taking a 2-0 lead into the first intermission. Jacqueline Scheffel (Waubaushene, Ont.) opened the scoring when she crashed the net on a 2-on-1 and managed to put home a rebound off Ricker's shot. Ragan Danford (Madoc, Ont.) increased the lead late in the frame on a similar play. Taylor Day (Ilderton, Ont.) lugged the puck up ice and fired a shot on goal, the rebound came straight to Danford, who buried it past Warriors goaltender Rebecca Bouwhuis (Orillia/).

Waterloo would cut the lead to one early in the second period just after their powerplay had ended when an unfortunate bounce in the slot got lost between the skates of a Blues defender and was snapped home by Kelly Toms (Ennismore/).

Toronto goalie Krista Funke (Regina) made brilliant saves during a Warriors powerplay midway through the third to maintain their lead, but was helpless to stop Kelly MacLean (St. George/) at the side of the net, who buried a rebound to tie the game 2-2.

The teams would trade chances in overtime, with Funke making more game-saving stops, and Danford and Day each creating quality opportunities, but neither team could grab the winning goal and the clock wound down to send the game to a shootout.

O'Hanlon shot first for Toronto, making a slick deke to her forehand to beat Bouwhuis. Bazak then skated in as the Blues second shooter, and powered a slap shot top corner to set the stage for Funke to deny MacLean's attempt and give the Blues the win.

Despite the loss, MacLean was named the game's second star. Sheffel and Danford were named stars one and three, respectively for the Blues.

Waterloo will return to the CIF arena next Sunday when they welcome the Windsor Lancers for a 2pm game.
