Toronto (January 25, 2013) - The Queen's Gaels (6-9) fell to the Ryerson Rams (5-9) 66-47 on Friday night in Toronto.

Sydney Kernahan (Calgary) and Liz Boag (Kingston, Ont.) led the Gaels putting up 11 points each, while Robyn Pearson (Toronto) delivered a team high of nine rebounds.  Kelsey Wright (Brampton, Ont.) and Silvana Jez (Kitchener, Ont.) were the Rams driving forces putting up 17 points each, contributing to more than half of the Ryerson's final score.

The Rams maintained their momentum through the second quarter, increasing the point difference between the Gaels.  The second half saw the Gaels fighting their way back into the game as Queen's managed to hold the Rams scoring at bay in the third quarter with 11 points to the Rams 15.
 
The Gaels finished the game strong putting up 14 point to the Rams 15, ending the game at a score of 66-47.
