The Varsity Reds responded less than a minute later, on Maillet's first of the game, and Christophe Clappet scored with two minutes left in the period to put UNB up for good.
UNB extended their lead in the second period with three goals in less than five minutes midway through the frame. Goals by Maillet
at 7:43 and
12:11 sandwiched Philippe Halley's first goal of the tournament
at 11:49.
UNB went 0-for-5 on the power play, while Queen's went 0-for-6. The Varsity Reds outshot Queen's 40-15.
For UNB, Etienne Marcoux picked up the win, making 14 saves, while Kevin Baillie took the loss for Queen's, making 31 saves on 36 shots in 50:50.
Jacob Brennan played the final
9:10 of the game for Queen's, stopping all four shots he faced.
With the win, the No. 4-seeded Varsity Reds advanced to Saturday's national semifinal, where they will play the No. 8-seeded Acadia Axemen, who defeated top-seeded Alberta earlier Thursday. The Acadia-UNB semifinal is set for noon (Atlantic time) on Saturday.
