BOX SCORE KINGSTON, Ont. (February 1, 2014) – Queen's (16-4-5) took down the visiting Nipissing Lakers (5-16-3) 4-1 on Saturday night in men's OUA hockey action at the Memorial Centre in Kingston.

In the opening period the Lakers jumped on the Gaels just after puck drop. Brogan Bailey beat Gaels starting netminder Kevin Bailie (Belleville, Ont.) only 1:25 into the game to go up 1-0 on the Gaels.

Queen's was quick to respond as Tyler Moore (Winnipeg) notched his seventh of the season just 26 seconds after the Nipissing goal to open the game. Joey Derochie (Sudbury, Ont.) and Patrick McGillis (Calgary) added the helpers.

The Gaels captain Corey Bureau (Amherstview, Ont.) then put Queen's out in front at the 15:52 mark with his sixth on the year.

In the second Queen's kept the pressure on and Alexi Pianosi (Halifax) had his point shot beat the Nipissing netminder for his first goal of the season. Chris Van Laren (Kingston, Ont.) and Braeden Corbeth (Oakville, Ont.) added the assist for Queen's.

Derochie added a powerplay marker finding room on the short side over the shoulder of Nipissing netminder Kirk Rafuse.

Bailie held Nipissing at bay the remainder of the frame stopping all six shots faced in the period including a quick glove off a shot from Connor O'Donnell in the slot with six minutes remaining.

Queen's held stong defensively in the third and took home a 4-1 victory. Bailie finished with 24 saves in the game for his 10th win of the season.

The Gaels now with 16 wins on the season are only one win shy of tying the franchise record of 17 set in the 1979-80 season where the team finished 17-3-2 under head coach Fred O'Donnell.

Queen's will look to tie the mark this Thursday February 6th when they host the RMC Paladins in the 28th annual Carr Harris Challenge Cup at the K-Rock Centre. For ticket information please click here.
