BOX SCORE KINGSTON, Ont. (October 19, 2013) - After taking two CIS Top Ten teams into overtime only to come up just short, the Gaels got themselves in the win column on Saturday night.
Corey Bureau (Amherstview, Ont.) had a three point night for the Gaels with three helpers while
Joey Derochie (Sudbury, Ont.) added a goal and an assist. The Gaels converted three of their seven power play chances for goals and
Chris Clarke (Fall River, N.S.) got his first start and first win of the season making 30 saves.
The Badgers Kaine Geldart had a goal and an assist in a losing effort for Brock.
After a scoreless first period the Gaels stormed out of the gate in the second with three straight goals with two coming on the mad-advantage. Derochie started the scoring off with
Blair Wentworth (Calgary) and
Jordan Soquila (Maple Ridge, B.C.) following suit.
After Brock scored a late goal in the second period to bring the game to a 3-1 Queen's advantage, the Badgers struck first in the third period as well and only trailed the Gaels by a goal.
Timely scoring proved true for Queen's as
Patrick McEachen (Stouffville, Ont.) put the Gaels up two with a power play goal and
Patrick McGillis (Calgary) sealed the win with an empty netter.
The Gaels now move to 1-0-2 on the season and have yet to lose a game in regulation.
Up next for Queen's is a game against the Nipissing Lakers in North Bay on Friday October 25 at 7pm.
