Field Hockey
The Queen's field hockey team visited the University of Toronto this weekend to play Toronto, McGill and York. On Saturday, the Gaels faced the home team, the University of Toronto, hungry for a win.

The Gaels came out with high-intensity and tested the Toronto defence. Evenly matched across the field, Queen's had quality chances, but Toronto came away with a one goal win in the second half.

Early Sunday morning, Queen's met McGill for the second time this season. In the 7th minute of play, McGill scored the first goal of the game from a penalty corner. The Gaels responded before the half as second year Mairead Corrigan scored an unassisted goal, followed by another Queen's goal from Leigh Janssen – her first of three more to come in. Queen's came out strong in the second half. Rookie Isabelle Mastantuono scored on a penalty corner at 57 minutes followed by Janssen's second goal of the game at 59 minutes. Captain Ciara Morrison scored in the 67th minute and finally Janssen scored her third goal of the game to finish the game at 69 minutes. The final score was 6-1 for Queen's over McGill.
 
The last game of the weekend was against top of the table York Lions. Queen's came out with intensity and a strong game plan. Unfortunately, a player down for five minutes gave York the opportunity to put 2 goals away. The score was 2-0 at half time. Queen's persisted and scored one goal in the second half. During a tough, physical game, the score finished 4-1 for the Lions.
 
Next up, the Gaels travel to Waterloo to face off against the York Lions again, and will see action against the Western Mustangs.
