KINGSTON, Ont. (October 18, 2014) - Spencer Abraham (Campbellville, Ont.) scored the go-ahead goal in the third period as the Gaels earned a 3-2 victory against the Concordia Stingers at the Memorial Centre on homecoming weekend. 

The game began as a back-and-forth affair with both squads generating numerous quality scoring opportunities. The Gaels opened the scoring when Andrew Wiebe (Thunder Bay, Ont.) crashed the net and buried a loose puck, giving Queen's the early advantage. Taylor Clements (Toronto) and Geordie Maguire (Winnipeg) were credited with the assists on Wiebe's first tally of the season. Gaels goaltender Kevin Bailie (Belleville, Ont.) was perfect in the first frame, turning aside all six shots that came his way. 

Concordia knotted the score in the first minute of the second frame when Domenic Beauchemin drove the net and slid the puck five-hole. The Stingers quickly added another to grab the lead as Sean Bluden's point shot found its way through traffic and into the back of the cage. The Gaels buried the equalizer after Patrick McGillis (Calgary) deposited a rebound off a scramble in front of the Concordia net. Neither team could regain the lead as goaltenders Bailie and Robin Billingham steered aside all shots to preserve the tie heading into the final period of play. 

The Gaels scored the decisive goal just over three minutes into the final frame. Defenceman Abraham jumped into the rush to give the Gaels a three-on-one and buried a drop pass from Clements in the slot. Bailie made several impressive saves in the final five minutes of the game as he went on to collect his second victory of the season. Robin Billingham of the Stingers suffered the loss, making 26 saves for the night. 

Final shots for the game totalled 29-24 in favour of the Gaels. Abraham and Clements led all players with two points apiece. 

The Gaels (2-1-0) return to action on Friday as they are scheduled to battle the Guelph Gryphons (2-3-1). Puck drop is set for 7:30pm at the Memorial Centre.
