Women's BasketballÂ
No. 10 Queen's will look to win their first OUA title since 2000-01 this Saturday at 7pm, as the Gaels head to Windsor to play the No. 1 Lancers. Having won every matchup in February, Queen's is riding a nine-game winning streak heading into the OUA Championship game. Windsor has only lost one game all season, dating back to their season-debut against Carleton. With a thrilling overtime win against Carleton last weekend, the Gaels earned a spot at the CIS Championship, March 14-16 at Windsor, for the first time since 2002-2003. The Gaels All-Star lineup includes OUA East First Team members Liz Boag (Kingston, Ont.) and Jenny Wright (Kingston, Ont.), East Second Team All-Star Gemma Bullard (Guelph, Ont.), who was also won the East Tracy McLeod Award, and Andria Priamo (Guelph, Ont.), who snagged a spot on the OUA East All-Rookie team. Queen's is coached by this year's OUA East Coach of the Year, Dave Wilson.
