TORONTO, Ont. - One year ago, Ryerson put an end to the Ridgebacks 13-game unbeaten streak with a 1-0 win. With the Ridgebacks on the right end of another 1-0 scoreline on Wednesday night, the team is hoping that this result will be the start of a win streak in 2015.
The Ridgebacks prevailed in the defensive struggle where the teams combined for just four shots on target.

The Ridgebacks will have another extended break as they don't play for another 10 days. At that time, the team will head to Kingston for an afternoon affair against the Queen's Gaels (1-1-3).
