After dropping the Laurier Golden Hawks on the road last week, the Ontario Tech Ridgebacks met the same fate as their opponents on Thursday night as Laurier walked away with a 4-3 victory in Oshawa.
 
The Ridgebacks led the game until late in the second, with goals by Drew Toner (Grand Falls, N.B.) and James White (Peterborough, Ont.) putting Ontario Tech up 2-1 after the first. Justin Svenson (Ile des Chênes, Man.) made it 3-1 just two minutes into the second, but a pair of Laurier goals knotted the game 3-3 after two.
 
The eventual game-winning goal for Laurier came from Grayden Gottschalk with 9:45 to go in regulation.
 
Leif Hertz (Kingston, Ont.) made 39 saves in the Ridgebacks loss.
 
They are next in action Saturday at home in preseason play against the Brock Badgers before concluding Thursday, Oct. 6 at home against the York Lions. The OUA men's hockey season opens Thursday, Oct. 13 for the Ridgebacks against the Ottawa Gee-Gees.
