KINGSTON, Ont. (January 17, 2018) – The Queen's Gaels (12-6-3) and RMC Paladins (5-14-3) renewed their historic rivalry on Wednesday night in Kingston and for the second time this season the Gaels were able to come away victorious.

Kevin Bailie (Belleville, Ont.) was also strong in net for the Gaels, recording 27 saves in the win. 
 
GAME FLOW
Lindo got the ball rolling for the Gaels in the first period when he sniped his third goal of the season at 6:02. The Gaels controlled play and it showed in the shot count as they led the Paladins 11-5 in the category. Queen's would head into the first intermission with a 1-0 lead.
 
Things got interesting in the second frame as the two teams traded penalties, including a ten-minute misconduct for a check to the head served by Gaels leading scorer Slater Doggett (Oakville, Ont.). Despite the penalty trouble, the Gaels would extend their lead to 2-0 at 9:05 of the period when Darcy Greenaway (Wilton, Ont.) notched his 11th goal of the campaign. RMC was able to take advantage of a power play opportunity at 17:31 of the period when they cut the Gaels lead to 2-1 on a David Savery goal.
 
The Tricolour would enter the third with a one goal lead and add to it early on when Ben Fanjoy (Ottawa) recorded his fourth of the season at 2:34. Lindo would add his second of the night at the midway point of the period to put the Gaels ahead 4-1. RMC made things interesting by cutting the lead to 4-2 but Doggett put the game on ice with a minute remaining with an empty net goal to seal the win for the Gaels.
 
Bailie earned the win in net for the Gaels while Daniel Vautour took the loss in net for the Paladins.
 
The teams will meet again on February 1st in the annual Carr-Harris Challenge Cup at the K-Rock Centre in Kingston. The Gaels will be looking to avenge last season's loss to the Paladins while also trying for a sweep of the season series.
