Queen's University Athletics

Dan Bannister of Newmarket, Ont., helped the Gaels set a new Queen’s record this past weekend in men’s basketball. The fourth year philosophy major averaged 23 points, eight assists and 4.5 rebounds as the Gaels scored 100+ points in consecutive games for the first time in school history. The OUA’s fourth leading scorer opened the weekend dropping a career-high 32 points to go along with six assists and five rebounds in Queen’s 102-64 win over York. Bannister followed up that performance with his first double-double of the year as he scored 14 points and added 10 assists in the Gaels 101-92 overtime win over Laurentian. Queen’s has now surpassed the 100 point barrier eight times since the team began playing in 1903.
