Gaels guard Brittany Moore is a four time OUA first team All-Star and won OUA East Rookie of the Year honours in her first year. She finishes her career as the Gaels basketball all-time leading scorer and second all-time in OUA scoring with 1,652 points.


Returning the core of a young squad in 2010-11, the Gaels looked to build on the successes of a roster that was comprised of primarily first and second year players.

The team started off the year hot, going 4-1 through five games. Tough weekends caught up with them over the course of the season though as their record hovered around the .500 mark for the remainder of the season. Despite the ups and downs the Gaels used big performances at home to earn home court advantage in the playoffs. In the playoffs, a difficult third quarter prevented the Gaels from moving on to the OUA Final Four as they fell to Ryerson by a 71-66 score.

First year player Jenny Wright was named to the OUA all-rookie team for her efforts during the year. She racked up 151 points and 106 rebounds while averaging over 20 minutes a game.

The Gaels were led all season by fifth year standout Brittany Moore, who was an OUA East first team All-Star for the fourth time. She graduates from the program as the number two all-time scorer in OUA history with 1,652 points and the top scorer in the history of Queen's basketball.
