OSHAWA, Ont. – The Ontario Tech Ridgebacks' offence was firing on all cylinders Saturday night, skating to a 6-1 win over the RMC Paladins.
Ludovic Dufort led the way with two goals, including the game's final tally with 39 seconds left in regulation. Braiden Koran, Alex Drover, Alex Papaspyropoulos and William Robinson also found the back of the net for the Ridgebacks, who outshot the Paladins 49–18.

Dufort opened the scoring for Ontario Tech late in the first, following Koran's equalizer after RMC took an early 1-0 lead on a Fischer O'Brien power-play goal. Drover added a power-play marker in the second period to make it 3-1, and the Ridgebacks pulled away in the third with three unanswered goals from Papaspyropoulos, Robinson and Dufort.
Goaltender Édouard Gauthier made 17 saves for the win, while RMC's Joe Ingram-Chambers stopped 43 shots in a busy night between the pipes.
The Ridgebacks will now head out on a three game road trip with the first stop at Carleton on Friday, October 17.
