The Queen's Gaels are in action on numerous fronts this weekend. Here's a rundown of when and where to catch your Gaels in action.

Game of the Week
Women's Rugby: The game of the week features the No. 3 ranked women's rugby team, who look to build on their 3-0 record against the 0-3 University of Toronto Varsity Blues at 1pm Saturday on Nixon Field. Queen's is coming off a 36-5 thumping of the Trent Excalibur, continuing a nine-game winning streak against the Peterborough-based school. The Gaels are led by forward Lauren McEwen (Wasaga Beach, Ont.), who is fifth in OUA scoring with 26 points, and enter this week having outscored their opponents by 66 points. Kayla Roote (Peterborough, Ont.) and Miranda Seifert (Regina, Sask.) also have three tries and 15 points apiece so far this season. Toronto hasn't beaten Queen's since 2004, and the Gaels will look to keep it that way Saturday afternoon.

Other Action
Football: The No. 3 Gaels travel to London, Ontario this week to take on the No. 2 Western Mustangs in a battle of OUA undefeated teams. Last week Queen's was able to knock off the Ottawa Gee-Gees on the road in a 36-21 win. The ground game went to work on a day filled with rain as Jesse Andrews finished with two touchdowns and 92 yards while Ryan Granberg added a score of his own and 74 yards. The No. 2 Mustangs are coming off a 45-24 raod win over Laurier in a game where the Golden Hawks led early. With 2,968 rushing yards in his career, Granberg is now only 32 yards from the 3,000 mark, 47 yards from second on the Gaels all-time list (Larry Mohr sits second with 3,015) and 67 yards away from the programs all-time record of 3,035 rushing yards in a career which is currently held by former Gael Mike Giffin.

Men's Rugby: It's a rematch of last year's OUA title game in this week's men's rugby match-up, as the Gaels travel to London to battle the Western Mustangs at 7pm on Saturday. Queen's took home the title with a 29-18 win. Both squads enter this week with 3-0 records, and are tied for points atop the OUA.  Queen's enters the week with seven players in the top 10 for OUA scoring, including Adam McQueen (Canmore, Alta.) with 24 points and Liam Underwood (Toronto) with 21 points, who hold down the number one and number three spots, respectively. The Gaels have 140 points-for, and have yet to be scored on this season, beating the RMC Paladins 30-0 last week.

Women's Soccer: The women's soccer team tied the Ryerson Rams and suffered their first loss of the season to the University of Toronto Varsity Blues on the weekend. They enter this weekend ranked No. 5, dropping from the No. 2 spot. Queen's will look to get back to their winning ways with a game against the 0-7-1 Trent Excalibur at 1pm, Sunday, on West Campus. Queen's beat Trent 3-1 earlier this season.
