GAME FLOW
Queen's came out with their highest scoring period of the season to start this game, striking early and often. Gaels leading goal scorer Manoukarakis started the scoring when she buried a rebound for her 11th goal of the season at 3:18. The Gaels would proceed to rattle off four more goals in a three-minute span starting at 12:32 of the period when Gervais scored her second goal of the season after a beautiful rush from
Jessica Wakefield (Lucan, Ont.).
Devon Greenough (Arnprior, Ont.),

Stephanie Pascal (Sudbury, Ont.), the puck found its way into the net.
Hailey Wilson (Pickering, Ont.) would round out the scoring for the period when she notched her seventh of the season at 15:28, giving the Gaels a 7-1 advantage after forty minutes.
Bridgid Goris (Thorndale, Ont.) would extend the Gaels lead to 8-1 at 9:34 of the third period with her first career U SPORTS goal. The Lancers would be put out of their misery, as that was all the scoring on the day. Gaels backup goaltender
