KINGSTON, Ont. (October 17, 2015) - The Queen's Gaels (2-1-0) defeated the Brock Badgers (0-3-1) 4-3 on Saturday night in OUA men's hockey at the Memorial Centre in Kingston. The Gaels held on to a 4-3 win after a bizarre play where Brock scored with too many men on the ice.

GAME FLOW
Making his first start for Queen's between the pipes was Jacob Brennan (Halifax) and he was tested often throughout the game. In the first period he held strong for Queen's stopping all 13 shots he faced from the Badgers. The Gaels were also able to open the scoring in the first period as they struck on the powerplay. Peter Angelopolous (Nobleton, Ont.) scored at 12:26 for his first career CIS goal, Angelopolous broke in over the blue line and fired a shot high over the shoulder of Badger starting netminder Real Cormier. 

In the second period the Badgers responded as Skylar Pacheco potted his second goal on the season beating Brennan on a shot from the point that was low to the ice. Just under four minutes later Queen's struck again. This time it was Slater Doggett (Oakville, Ont.) picking up his first career CIS tally as he potted a rebound off of an Angelopolous shot for an easy goal to put Queen's back in front. After the Gaels added another to go out in front 3-1, the Badgers used a later powerplay in the 2nd to cut the lead back down to one with only 21 seconds left in the frame.

In the third Brock once again evened the score with Queen's as Mitch Nardi scored his second of the young season. They Gaels kept the pressure on and as Andrew Wiebe (Thunder Bay, Ont.) and Patrick McGillis (Calgary) broke in on a two on one Wiebe was able to find McGillis who cut to his backhand and snuck the puck past Cormier to restore the Gaels lead.

Late in the final period the Badgers beat Brennan to tie the game at 4-4 but after the Brock players finished celebrating the ref grabbed and counted six skaters for Brock along with their goalie. Instead of tying the game at 4-4 the goal was disallowed and Brock was assessed a penalty on the play for having too many men on the ice.



The Gaels hung on and Brennan turned aside 40 shots for the win.
