Offensive frenzy

Written on February 27, 2015. Posted in Sports.

Women’s basketball rode a large first-half lead to victory in the first round of the post-season. Queen’s beat the Laurentian Lady Vees 80-52 at home on Wednesday to set up an OUA quarterfinal matchup with the second-seeded Laurier Golden Hawks. A victory in tomorrow’s game would push the Gaels to...

Gaels streak past Lions

Written on January 20, 2015. Posted in Sports.

One dominant quarter extended women’s basketball’s winning streak to five games. The Gaels outscored the York Lions 24-8 in the third frame of their Saturday matchup, blowing open a halftime deadlock. While the Lions cut the lead slightly in the fourth, Queen’s held on for a 66-56 victory. “It was...

Two and out

Written on March 21, 2014. Posted in Sports.

A pair of losses at the national championships couldn’t dampen the success women’s basketball achieved this year. The Gaels’ 2013-14 season officially ended with losses to the Saskatchewan Huskies and Alberta Pandas in the CIS championships in Windsor last weekend. Queen’s fell 61-52 to Saskatchewan...

Eastern supremacy

Written on March 7, 2014. Posted in Sports.

Queen’s was 0.4 seconds from a division title. After overtime, they won it anyway. The Gaels are OUA East champions, grounding the Carleton Ravens 62-58 last Saturday and winning an intense, wire-to-wire game befitting of a playoff finals match. The ARC was sold out of tickets for the game, which...

Captain on the court

Written on February 7, 2014. Posted in Sports.

Liz Boag wasn’t sure she had what it took to play at the university level. The fourth-year women’s basketball star stands at only 5’3 — far shorter than the rest of her competition — and stopped growing when she was 13. Because of that, she was always used to playing against players taller than her. Her...

Two more wins, bye in sight

Written on February 4, 2014. Posted in Sports.

Women’s basketball fully returned to their winning ways, prevailing twice last weekend to extend their streak to three straight victories.

Stopped in their tracks

Written on January 14, 2014. Posted in Sports.

Women’s basketball’s five-game winning streak came to a screeching halt at home. The previously first-place Gaels lost both their games over the weekend: 70-67 to the Ryerson Rams and 70-56 to the Toronto Varsity Blues. The Rams (4-8) got their revenge on Friday night for a previous meeting, in which...

Five straight to lead the way

Written on January 10, 2014. Posted in Sports.

The Gaels are finally healthy and winning. The past few years have been difficult for women’s basketball, who often charged into games with a depleted roster due to injuries. This year, their injuries have been minimized and their talents are on full display. They currently lead the OUA East division...

High hopes on the hardwood

Written on November 1, 2013. Posted in Sports.

Men With 11 returnees to the men’s basketball squad, things can go nowhere but up. With added experience and the continued scoring touch of veteran players Greg Faulkner and Nikola Misljencevic, there’s little doubt this season will be an improvement from last year. The Gaels are looking to boost...

Playoff monkey gone

Written on March 1, 2013. Posted in Sports.

Women’s basketball stumbled down the stretch, but made up for it in the first round of the playoffs. Their first-round victory was a milestone result. The Gaels won just once in their final eight games, ending a losing season at 7-13. Their record placed them fifth in the OUA East, good for a playoff...

One and one

Written on November 16, 2012. Posted in Sports.

The Gaels were a few baskets away from a perfect home weekend. The women’s basketball team opened their season last Friday with a disappointing 68-64 home loss to the Laurier Golden Hawks, but followed up with a 92-70 blowout victory over the Waterloo Warriors on Sunday. The Gaels’ opening game was...
