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 at home, or how to follow them on the road.
Â
Game of the WeekWomen's RugbyThe defending champion women's rugby team will close out the regular season at home this Saturday night against the Western Mustangs at 7pm on Nixon Field. The last time the Gaels faced Western was last season when they beat the Mustangs 30-15 in the OUA semis, advancing them into the OUA championship game. Last weekend, the No.4 Gaels defeated Trent 74-10.
Lauren McEwen (Wasaga Beach, Ont.) finished the game with 24 points, setting a new team record with 164 points in her Gaels career. Come out and support the Gaels in their final league game of this season under the lights on Nixon Field.
Â
Men's RugbyThis Saturday the Gaels host the Guelph Gryphons at 1pm on Nixon Field. Last week the Gaels surrendered their first loss in two years, falling 18-13 to the undefeated McMaster Marauders. The Gaels fought hard against the Marauders with
David Worsley (Vancouver) and
James Dent (Toronto) bringing in the Gaels points for the game. Last season the Gaels beat Guelph 22-3, and this year Quen's will be going head to head in an attempt to hand the Gryphons their first loss of the season.
