MEN'S SOCCER: LAKERS FALL, BUT HANG TOUGH WITH NATIONALLY RANKED BOLD

Box Score It's a logjam in the OUA East Division standings, with the top five teams all battling it out for homefield advantage in the final few weekends of the season.

Entering the weekend, the Lakers held down fourth place.

On Saturday, they took on the second place TMU Bold at Nipissing Field.

After 90 minutes, it was Bold escaping with a 1-0 win and the three points.

Both teams played a tight first half, with very little in the way of scoring chances.

Each team had pressure throughout the opening 45, but neither team broke the deadlock.

The only goal of the game came five minutes into the second half as TMU capitalized on a loose ball and made no mistake.

Despite a frantic push by the Lakers for the last 15 minutes, they were unable to even things up against the nationally ranked Bold.

On Sunday, the Lakers will host the Toronto Varsity Blues, looking to stay ahead of them in the standings and secure a home playoff game.

Game time is set for 3:15pm at Nipissing Field.
