SUDBURY, Ont. – The UOIT men's soccer team earned three big points on Sunday with a 2-0 victory in Sudbury against the Laurentian Voyageurs.

The win puts some separation between the two teams for the final playoff position in the OUA eastern conference as UOIT now leads Laurentian by six-points with just four games remaining in the regular season.
 
It was a pair of first-year Ridgebacks doing the damage on the scoresheet as Carlos Gonzales-Mugaburu (Whitby, Ont.) and Fabio Campoli (Woodbridge, Ont.) found the back of the net. Gonzales-Mugaburu scored the game's opening goal 26 minutes into the first half while Campoli added an insurance marker with five minutes to go in regulation.
 
UOIT goalkeeper Travis Martin (Whitby, Ont.) had one of his best performances of his senior year making 10 saves in the shutout victory. Martin has made 16 saves in two shutout wins over Laurentian this season.
 
Laurentian ended up outshooting UOIT 16-11 in the losing effort.
 
The two teams showed that there was no love lost for one another as they combined for four yellow cards, one red card and 32 fouls.
 
The Ridgebacks will look to clinch a playoff spot next week with matches against Queen's (Friday) and RMC (Sunday) at home.
