Gaels dominant in OUA Quarterfinal Victory

| By:
 KINGSTON, Ont. (October 16, 2010) - Toronto's Andrea Wadsworth got the No. 7 Queen's Gaels off to a quick start as they won their OUA Quarter-final matchup against the Toronto Varsity Blues by a 44-5 score.

Wadsworth's try in the early stages of the first half set the tone for what would be an dominant Gaels win. Queen's jumped out to a 12-0 lead before Toronto found some momentum and took a chunk out of the Queen's lead with a try of their own from Hilda Ulloa of Kitchener, Ont. However, that would be Toronto's lone try of the game and it was all Queen's for the rest of the contest.

The Gaels scored another two tries before the end of the first half, with Susan Heald (Burlington, Ont.) putting in the first of her two tries just before halftime. The score was 22-5 with Queen's in the lead at halftime.

The second half saw more of the same as Queen's scored four unanswered tries, while Bronwyn Corrigan (Waterloo, Ont.) added a convert to round out the Gaels 44 point effort.

The Gaels scorers on the day included the aforementioned Wadsworth and Heald (who scored two). Others who scored tries included Samantha Trinier (Toronto), Ashley Ward (Barrie, Ont.), Sarah Pathak (Toronto), Jocelyn Poirier (Ottawa), and Marin Macleod (Pictou Co., N.S.). Corrigan and Annika Rinas (Oakville, Ont.) contributed two points each on converts.

The Gaels will continue their playoff run next weekend in the OUA Semifinal. Queen's will host the Waterloo Warriors at Kingston Field.
