Box Score
The No.5 seed Brock University men's hockey team defeated the No. 4 seed Laurier Golden Hawks by the score of 2-1 Friday night at the Seymour-Hannah Centre. With the victory, the Badgers sweep the best 2-out-of-3 series 2-0 and advance to the OUA second round for the first time since 2012.

Laurier got on the board first as Mac Clutsman and Anthony Sorrentino setup Andrew Fritsch, who beat Brock starter Clint Windsor for the power play marker. Brock's Matt MacLeod would even it up 1-1 with less than two minutes left in the first period with Ayden MacDonald and Connor Brown adding the assists.

With just 1:21 left in the second period, Brock's Chris Maniccia and Cosimo Fontana setup Dexter Weber who walked in from the blueline and buried a bullet over the shoulder of Laurier starter Colin Furlong for the eventual game winner.

Late in the third, Brock battled hard being a man down a couple times, but it was Windsor coming up with some outstanding saves in the final minutes to secure the win.

In goal, Windsor recorded 37 saves for the victory while Furlong added 23 saves in the loss.
