NORTH BAY, Ont. (October 5, 2014) - Captain Chris Michael (Ottawa) scored the lone goal for the Gaels as the men's soccer team settled for a 1-1 draw against the Nipissing Lakers. 

The Gaels found themselves trailing by one after the first half as Cale England of Nipissing opened the scoring in the 27th minute. 

Queen's was able to tie the game early in the second half as Michael found the back of the net in the 47th minute on a penalty kick earned by Greg Simmons. The remainder of the match became a defensive battle as neither squad could grab the lead. Keepers Taylor Reynolds (Kingston, Ont.) of the Gaels and Grainger Munro of the Lakers registered five and four saves respectively. 

The Gaels (7-2-4) are set to return home as they prepare for their final three game homestand of the season. The first match is scheduled for next Saturday at 3:15pm on Miklas-McCarney field as Queen's will battle the first-place No.4 Ryerson Rams (10-1-0).
