Despite the departure of its two defensive stalwarts, The Golden Knights were looking to try and finish the year undefeated, having missed that mark by just one game in back-to-back campaigns.

[1] From the start of the season, the team looked like they had a chance to do just that when they easily won a game over visiting Victoria College.

The missing offensive punch caused Tech to be held back by the Larries' defense early, enabling the home team to score first.

Near the end of the game, Johnny Burke slipped through the defense and netted the game-winner, keeping Clarkson's record spotless.

Tech finally got their shots to go in afterwards, cutting the lead to just 1 by the start of the third, but the Tigers closed out the game strong and won 3–5.

The Knights didn't have much time to lick their wounds as they returned home and faced an equally stiff challenge from Queen's.

It must have come as a shock to the blue-bloods when Tech manhandled the Green throughout the game, which was place before a packed house at Ives Park.
