TORONTO - The Queen's Gaels were outdone in straight sets 3-0 by the No.3 Varsity Blues in Toronto on Saturday afternoon to finish their 2014-15 season. Set scores finished 25-12, 25-12, 25-17 in favour of Toronto.
The Varsity Blues were simply too much for the Gaels nearly doubling them in kills and finishing with nine more blocks. Queen's was led by
Brett Hagarty (Aurora, Ont.) who finished with 10 kills and 13 digs for the Gaels while libero
Becky Wilson (Pickering, Ont.) led the team with 21 digs. Toronto saw strong performances from a trio of players as Caleigh Cruickshank, Bojana Radan and Tessa Davis all finished in double-digits for points.
The two opening frames saw Queen's fall behind early unable to keep pace with the offensive attack by Toronto. The Gaels couldn't find holes in the Varsity Blues defence and as a result were more than doubled in kills in the opening two sets.Â
Queen's started to climb back in a much more competitive third frame but Queen's committed their most attacking errors in any set allowing Toronto to hang on for the three set sweep.
Toronto, who are set to hos this year's CIS National Championship, will now advance to the OUA Final Four.
