On Sunday the Lynx travelled to Toronto to take on Toronto Leaside (3754). The Lynx again got on the board first with Taylor Allen scoring after a pretty pass from behind the net from Nixon Francis. The Lynx made it 2-0 midway through the 2nd with Maddy Donnelly scoring from the slot on a nice pass from Hannah Vallier with Vallier and Allen getting the assists. Toronto Leaside got on the board early in the 3rd period to make it 2-1. Julia Staniland had a great opportunity to restore the 2 goal lead shortly after but was denied by the Leaside goalie on 2 great saves from in close. However, the Lynx were not able to protect the lead and Toronto Leaside came back to tie the game 2-2. Gracie Cunday had a great game for the Lynx and had 6 shots on net but the Leaside goalie was up to the challenge.
