KINGSTON, Ont. (November 6, 2015) - The Queen's Gaels (5-2-0) saw their four game win streak snapped as the visiting UOIT RIdgebacks (5-3-0) came into Kingston and beat the Gaels 5-3 in OUA men's hockey action on Friday night at the Memorial Centre in Kingston.

GAME FLOW
Gaels starting goaltender Kevin Bailie (Belleville, Ont.) was tested early and often in the opening period as the visiting Ridgebacks finished the first having fired a total of 14 shots on net compared to the Gaels five.

A late first period power play saw one of those 14 beat Bailie as Luke VanMoerkerke struck to give the Ridgebacks a 1-0 lead late in the period.

In the second the visitors continued to put the Gaels on their heels as they tallied two goals in less than two minutes early in the second. The second of the two came shorthanded from Connor Jarvis. Nearly five minutes later the lead was 4-0 for the visitors. Queen's was able to get on the scoreboard late in the second period as Peter Angelopolous (Nobleton, Ont.) tallied his second goal of the season.

The Gaels made a game of it in the third picking up an early goal from Slater Doggett (Oakville, Ont.) and got another in the closing minutes from Andrew Wiebe (Thunder Bay, Ont.) to cut the deficit to just one.

With their net empty the Ridgebacks were able to find the open cage and seal the game with a 5-3 win.

Bailie finished with 29 saves in the loss while Ridgeback starter Brendan O'Neill stopped 26 shots for the win.
