| By:
BOX SCORE TORONTO (January 11, 2014) - The No. 4 Queen's Gaels needed overtime but were able to come away with two points thanks to Shawna Griffin (Redwood Meadows, Alta.) who scored in the extra period to give the Gaels a 2-1 win over York.

The Gaels took a 1-0 lead in the second period on a goal from Alisha Sealey (Elora, Ont.) which was her first of the season. The game was a defensive battle for the better part of the opening 60 minutes with both goaltenders shutting down the offensive attacks.

York starting netminder Megan Lee faced 45 shots in the game while Mel Dodd- Moher (Stittsville, Ont.) stopped 23 in the win. 

The Lions were able to tie the game in the third and force overtime as Lindsey Cochrane scored her first marker of the season as well.

In overtime it was all Gaels as they outshot York 6-0, with their sixth shot coming off the stick of Griffin for the game winner, her 10th of the season at 3:11 into the overtime period.

The Gaels now move to 13-2-3 on the season and still hold down the first place position in the OUA.

Next up for the Gaels they will host the Waterloo Warriors on January 24th at the Memorial Centre.
