KINGSTON, Ont. (October 26, 2014) - The women's hockey team remains perfect on the season with a 5-0-0 record after defeating the Ryerson Rams 4-0 Sunday afternoon at the Memorial Centre. 

The Gaels had countless scoring opportunities in the first frame but could not solve Ryerson goaltender Ally Sarna. Queen's came close to grabbing the lead on a five-on-three advantage but Courtenay Jacklin (Regina) was denied in front by the post. Jacklin had another great scoring opportunity in the final minute of the period but could not find the back of the net on the breakaway.

Queen's broke through early in the second on Clare McKellar's (London, Ont.) third of the season. McKellar broke into the zone on a one-on-one and used the screen to fire the puck through the five-hole from the top of the circle. The Gaels doubled their lead after Addi Halladay (North Augusta, Ont.) buried a loose puck in front of the net for the powerplay tally. Queen's continued to capitalize on scoring opportunities as Amber Sealey (Elora, Ont.) notched her first goal of her CIS career. Sealey moved in from the point and made no mistake after receiving a great cross-ice feed from Jessica Wakefield (Lucan, Ont.).

Queen's added another in the final frame as Taryn Pilon (Peterborough, Ont.) scored on the powerplay for her team-leading sixth of the season. 

Stephanie Pascal (Sudbury, Ont.) started in net for the Gaels and was perfect for the afternoon, earning the 20 save shutout. Pascal has been excellent in net for Queen's as she has not allowed a goal in two starts this season. Final shots for the game totalled 28 to 20 in favour of Queen's.

The Gaels (5-0-0) return to action Saturday afternoon when they travel to North Bay, Ontario to take on the Nipissing Lakers (2-2-1).
