TORONTO (January 27, 2012) – Kelly Jackson of Toronto scored a power play goal at the 3:43 mark of the second period and that was all the Gaels (12-9-2) needed as they held on for a 2-1 win over the Ryerson Rams (11-10-3). 

With the win the Gaels now move into a tie for sixth place in the OUA East with Concordia. The Gaels do hold a game in hand on the Stingers however.

Riley Whitlock of Calgary continued his strong play for the Gaels stopping 35 of the 36 shots fired at him on the night. David Chubb of St. George's, Nfld. scored his sixth goal of the season and Jackson notched the game winner on the power play, his ninth of the campaign.

The Rams lone goal came off the stick of Victor Terreri of Mississauga, Ont. who started the season in January with the Rams after a brief stint with the Barrie Colts of the OHL as an overager.

Terreri gave the Rams an early lead in the first period only 4:54 into the frame. The goal was his second of the season as he scored past Gaels starting netminder Whitlock.

Chubb would respond for Queen's just over six minutes after to even the game at 1-1. Jon Lawrance of Steinbach, Man. and Scott Kenway of Calgary added the assists on the goal.

In the second period Jackson scored on the power play to put the Gaels up 2-1. From there on Whitlock managed to keep the Rams at bay as the Gaels hung on for the 2-1 win.

Queen's is back in action tomorrow night when they take on the Varsity Blues, puck drop is set for 7:30pm.

The Gaels will return home on Thursday February 2, when they take on their cross town rivals the RMC Paladins in the 26th annual Carr-Harris Challenge Cup at 7:30pm at the K-Rock Centre in Kingston.
