SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. – The UOIT men's curling team still has a shot at reaching the quarter-finals of the OUA championship after a dramatic win over the Ryerson Rams.
 
Trailing the Rams 6-4, UOIT scored a pair in the seventh and stole one in the eighth to pick up a 7-6 victory. Earlier in the day, UOIT dropped a 4-2 decision to the Laurier Golden Hawks.
 
UOIT (2-3) will wrap up round robin play on Saturday morning with a match against the Western Mustangs (5-0). In the pool B standings, four teams are tied for third place with matching 2-3 records.
