KINGSTON, Ont. (October 9, 2010) – Briana Kelly of North Vancouver, B.C., had two goals and set up another as the Queen's Gaels women's field hockey team picked up a win and a tie last Friday afternoon at Tindall Field.

In their opening game against Carleton, Kelly got the Gaels on the board in the 23rd minute as Queen's took a 1-0 lead at half time. Morgan Bignell of Lakefield, Ont., put Queen's in front by two in the 52nd minute before Kelly notched her second of the game in the 61st minute to give the Gaels a 3-0 victory.

The Gaels finished up their weekend competition with a 1-1 tie against the McGill Martlets. McGill got on the board first, just four minutes into the game, on a goal by Holly Millar of West Vancouver, B.C. However, Queen's would tie the game in the 43rd minute when Kelly set up Amber Halcovitch of Apsley, Ont., earning the Gaels a single point.

Queen's (3-7-1) now sits tied with McGill in the OUA standing as each team as 10 points, tying them for sixth in the conference.

The Gaels will once again host teams from across the OUA this weekend in a two-day tournament. Queen's plays York on Friday, October 16 at 1:45 pm, before matching up against Toronto and Western on Saturday, October 17. All games will take place at Tindall Field.
