OTTAWA, Ont. (January 23, 2010) - Brittany Moore of Hannon, Ont., scored a season-high 27 points as the Queen's Gaels rebounded from a tough loss the night before with a 66-64 win over the Ottawa Gee Gees.

Moore, who finished the game 10 of 17 from the field, including five of nine from three point range, also had three rebounds and three assists in the contest.

Erin Skippon of Kelowna, B.C., posted a double-double (12 points, 10 rebounds) for the Gaels who built a 13 point lead through three quarters of play before holding off a furious Gee Gees' rally to pick up the win.

Hannah Sunley-Paisley was the leading scorer for Ottawa as she had 24 points to go along with nine rebounds. Emilie Morasse chipped in with 18 points and a game-high seven assists.
