BOX SCORE KINGSTON, Ont. - A balanced attack and a stifling defence led the No. 5-ranked Queen's Gaels to a 4-0 shutout of the Waterloo Warriors in OUA women's hockey at the Memorial Centre, Friday night. The Gaels outshot Waterloo 31-11, as they cruised to the shutout, their fourth of the regular season.

The Gaels carried their 2-0 lead into the second period. Queen's continued to dominate offensively and Brittany McHaffie (Guelph, Ont.) added a power play goal at 19:03 to increase the Gaels' lead to 3-0; Katie Duncan (Waterloo, Ont.) and Chantal Morais (Guelph, Ont.) had assists.

In the third frame, Morgan McHaffie (Guelph, Ont.) added a goal for the Gaels at the 3:03 mark with an assist from Duncan bringing the game to its final score of 4-0.
