KINGSTON, Ont. - A second-half goal led the No. 1-ranked York Lions to a 1-0 victory over the No. 5-ranked Queen's Gaels in the OUA Bronze Medal Game at McNaughton Park in Vaughan, Ont., Sunday. 

Lions rookie Nicolas Mejia (Burlington, Ont.) netted the only goal of the game in the 58^th minute. He was sent in on a nice pass from fellow first-year player Nicholas Palmer (Ajax, Ont.) and chipped the ball over the head of Queen's goalkeeper Max Materne (Toronto), who had come out to the top of the box, and into the net.
 
Sotiri Varlokostas (Toronto) and Colm Vance (Bradford, Ont.) split duties in net for the Lions, each playing one half, to secure the shutout. Varlokostas needed to make just two saves in the first, while Vance was impressive with six saves to preserve the win after Mejia's goal. Materne finished with three saves for the Gaels.

With the loss, the Gaels close their season with a 12-3-2 overall record (11-1-2 OUA), setting a team record for wins in a season.
