KINGSTON, Ont. - The Queen's Gaels welcome the UQAM Citadins, the Memorial Sea-Hawks and the Carleton Ravens to the ARC Main Gym this weekend for their annual invitational tournament. The action starts off on Friday and runs straight through the weekend wrapping up on Sunday afternoon.
Day 3
UQAM vs Memorial (Boxscore)
The UQAM Citadins held off a strong, late push from the Memorial Sea-Hawks to conclude their weekend at the Tindall Invitational Tournament with a 60-58 victory over their AUS conference counterparts.
Bianca Marois led the Citadins with 13 points, and Queteline Celestin added 12 points and a game-high eight rebounds to help push UQAM to its second victory of the weekend. The RSEQ conference representatives shot 37.7% (23-61) from the field, compared to a 39.7% (23-58) efficiency from the Sea-Hawks, who finished the tournament 0-3. Sydney Ezekiel led all scorers with 24 points, shooting an impressive 10-of-16 from the field, while Sydney Stewart added 12 points in a losing cause for Memorial.
After taking a slim, 3-point advantage into halftime, the Sea-Hawks managed just four points in the third quarter, allowing the Citadins to take a healthy, double-digit lead at the end of the period. Six straight points from Memorial to open the final quarter vaulted them right back into the contest, and they stayed within striking distance throughout the fourth, slicing the UQAM lead down to a single point with 22 seconds to play. However, they would miss their final jumpshot of the contest, allowing the Citadins to escape with the victory.
Carleton vs Queen's (Boxscore)
The Queen's Gaels women's basketball team made it a clean sweep at the Tindall Invitational Tournament on Sunday afternoon at the Athletics and Recreation Centre (ARC), topping the Carleton Ravens 81-63 to conclude their weekend with a perfect 3-0 record.
For the third-straight day, Emily Hazlett (Fredericton, N.B.) led the Gaels with 17 points, going 4-of-8 from the field and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, while recording a game-high six steals. Jenny Wright (Kingston) added 16 points in the win for Queen's, who as a team shot 37.7% (29-77) and out-rebounded the Ravens 47-41.
The hosts had an explosive first half offensively, tallying 52 points through the opening two quarters to take a healthy lead into the halftime break. The Ravens responded by limiting the Gaels to single-digits in the third stanza, but still faced a 12-point deficit heading into the fourth. The Queen's offense re-ignited in the final period, helping pace the Gaels to a third victory in as many days. Carleton shot 35.7% overall, and were led by a 20-point performance by Nicole Gilmore.
The Gaels hit the road for their final three pre-season matches at Brock, McMaster, and Guelph before opening up their regular season at the ARC on Saturday, November 7 against the York Lions.
