HAMILTON (November 4, 2010) - Queen's forward Michael Arnold of London, Ont., along with defenders Andrew Nador of Kingston, Ont., and Joseph Zupo of Toronto, were named OUA East Division All-Stars on Thursday.

Arnold was the lone Gael to earn first team status. The fourth-year mid-fielder led the East Division in scoring with nine goals, good for third in the league. This was Arnold's second selection to an OUA All-Star team having earned a second team nomination last season.

Nador collected his second career all-star honour by being named to the OUA second team this season. The fifth-year Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School graduate was one of the Gaels top defenders helping Queen's to the 10th best defence in the country allowing only 11 goals. Last year Nador earned a first team all-star honour.

Zupo, in his first season at the CIS level, was another of the Gaels top defenders this year. He played in 14 games and also registered two goals in a 4-0 win over the Laurentian in the final regular season game of the year. He was named as a OUA Second Team All-Star
