OSHAWA, Ont. (November 5, 2017) - The Queen's Gaels got the better of their rivals the UOIT Ridgebacks with a 3-0 decision to take the OUA bronze medal on Sunday afternoon in Oshawa.

Queen's opened the scoring in the rematch of the 2016 OUA gold medal game with Lidia Bradau scoring in the 48th minute. Just six minutes later Matija Skoko made it a two-goal lead for the Gaels on a bobbled ball by UOIT's keeper. 
 
The momentum for Queen's continued as they scored their third in 14 minutes. Alexandra Doane broke free in the 61st minute and Victoria Savage was unable to guess where Doane was going to put it as the Gaels held on for the three-goal victory.
 
Oshawa native Savannah Meyer-Clement struggled to find words when asked about winning bronze in her hometown, capping off her five-year OUA career.
 
"It feels good and I was glad we were able to finish it off with a good win," said Meyer-Clement. "The team was able to come over to my house and have a nice team dinner. It was nice to have everyone (family and friends) around all weekend.
 
"There are no words. It's been a really awesome career and I love all the girls very much."
 
This is Queen's third medal in three years after winning gold in 2015 and silver in 2016. The 2017 championship was the first time UOIT hosted women's soccer.
