KINGSTON, Ont. (November 27, 2009) – Team captain Jonathon Lawarance of Steinbach, Man., had a goal and four assists as the Gaels snapped a two game losing streak with an 8-6 win over the Ottawa Gee Gees on Friday night.

The win evens the Gaels record at 6-6-1 while the Gee Gees fall to 4-10-1.

Queen's game out of the gates flying, taking advantage of a tired Ottawa team that lost 15-4 on Tuesday night. The Gaels scored four times before the Gee Gees found the back of the net and took a 4-1 lead into the second.

After the Gaels took a 5-1 lead early in the second period thanks to David Chubb's (St. George's, Nfld.) second of the game, Ottawa came storming back and managed to tie the game early in the third. Shorthanded goals by Taurean White and Mattieu Germain 49 seconds apart evened the score at five.

With momentum swinging to the Gee Gees, Queen's took a timeout which seemed to jumpstart the team. Joey Derochie of Sudbury, Ont., restored the Gaels lead just 45 seconds after the second Gee Gees shorthanded marker. Lawrance and Jeffrey Johnstone of Etobicoke, Ont., would follow with goals of their own to secure the win.

Seven Gaels would record multiple point games against Ottawa, highlighted by Lawrance's five-point effort.

Queen's wraps up the 2009 portion of their home schedule tomorrow night with a matchup against the Concordia Stingers. Puck drop is scheduled for 8:00 pm at the Memorial Centre.
