In his fourth-year with the Rams (6-10), Bakovic has recorded 1,896 points during his career with Ryerson. On Saturday, the two-time OUA all-star moved into second on the OUA career scoring list, surpassing Lakehead's Kiraan Posey who tallied 1,879 points from 2003-06 and 2007-09.
Kevin Dulude holds the league's record for most career points with 2,092, which he amassed from 2000-05 with the RMC Paladins. Dulude is also the only player in OUA history to reach 2,000 career points.
