Hockey and volleyball are at home Friday and Saturday, while basketball starts the season on the road. Cross country and women's soccer compete for National Championships, while men's rugby looks for a fifth straight OUA title.

GAME OF THE WEEK
WOMEN'S HOCKEY
The Gaels women's hockey team (4-0-4-0) hosts the UOIT Ridgebacks (2-0-3-2) in the game of the week is a rare weekday game at 12:30 PM on Friday at the Memorial Centre. Queen's is also in action at 2:30 PM at the Memorial Centre against the Ryerson Rams (1-1-3-2) on Saturday.
 
The tricolour continued their streak with another split last weekend, beating Brock 3-2 before falling 5-0 to No.5 Guelph. Against Brock, Queen's had to come back from two goals down to claim victory. Nadia Larocca (Mississauga, Ont.) led the tricolour charge, potting two goals in the second period to even the score heading into the final frame. Danelle Bishoff (Calgary, Alta.) netted her first of the season in the opening minute of the third period, and the Gaels held on to win 3-2. Second-year Kaylie Dennis (London, Ont.) recorded the first multi-point game of her career with two assists, which were matched by teammate Kyla Crouse (Mount Brydges, Ont.).
 
UOIT had just one game last weekend when they travelled to Brock, but suffered a 5-0 defeat. Goaltender Cassie Charette was chased from the net after two periods of work and replaced by Briar Hughes. Kassidy Nauboris is the Ridgebacks point leader with four goals and one assist so far this season, followed by Samantha Forchielli's three goals.
 
Last weekend, Ryerson lost a pair of home games 2-1 to Windsor and 6-3 to No.10 Western. Kryshanda Green scored three of the Rams four goals on the weekend, all on the power-play, and assisted on the other goal. Green now sits third in OUA points with 10 and second in goals with six.

CROSS COUNTRY AT U SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP
Members of the No.3 women's and No.10 men's cross country teams are off to the U Sports National Championship on Saturday hosted on the Plains of Abraham, Que., by Laval.
 
Gael Claire Sumner (Calgary, Alta.) was the individual OUA Champion two weeks ago, and was joined on the podium by Queen's teammate Julie-Anne Staehli (Lucknow, Ont.), who won Bronze. The two podium finishes helped the tricolour women finish with team bronze medals. Staehli and Sumner both finished in the top 10 at last year's National Championship, earning All-Canadian status. As a team, Queen's just missed the podium in fourth.
 
On the men's side, Eric Wynands (Lyn, Ont.) finished in 10th spot at the OUA Championship to earn a conference All-Star nod. Queen's ended the day in fifth as a team. At the National Championship last year, the tricolour had an eighth place team finish.
 

MEN'S RUGBY AT OUA CHAMPIONSHIP
The men's rugby team is looking for a fifth consecutive OUA Championship this weekend at Guelph, with the title game to be played at 5 PM on Sunday.

This weekend will be a rematch of the last two OUA Championships, where the tricolour won 32-23 in 2014 and 24-23 in 2015 to claim their league-best 22nd OUA title.

Queen's got past Western last weekend on Nixon Field in a thrilling fashion, with Dylan Young (Toronto) pushing into the tryzone in the dying seconds to put the Gaels ahead, finishing with a final score of 28-24. Patrick Lynott (Kingston, Ont.) Kainoa Lloyd (Mississauga, Ont.), and Matthew Geisler (Toronto) scored the other tries for Queen's in the victory, with Alex Colborne (London, Ont.) kicking a pair of penalty goals to round out the Gaels scoring.

Guelph was undefeated through the regular season, beating Queen's 18-12 when they met in early September. The Gryphons handled McMaster with ease last weekend, coming out on top 31-8 in their OUA Semi-Final. Like Queen's, nobody on the Guelph roster scored more than one try in their playoff game, but one who did get into the tryzone was Jordan Holstra, who had a team-high eight tries during the regular season.
