This weekend marks the final two regular season home games for Gaels long-time head coach
Brenda Willis as she is set to retire after the season.
Queen's (7-8) is in a battle for a playoff spot with just three games remaining. On Friday at 8 pm, they host Toronto (6-9) who sit just one game behind the Gaels for one of the final playoff spots. The Gaels were able to win the previous matchup this season 3-1 and will look to lock up a playoff spot with a win.
On Saturday night in Willis' final regular season home game, the Ryerson Rams (10-4) come to Kingston for an 8 pm match. Rams head coach Adam Simac is a former player of Willis' who won an OUA championship with the Gaels in 2005-06.
Willis enters the weekend as a five-time OUA coach of the year and six-time OUA champion with a career 361-193 record including playoffs.
The Gaels will also be honouring their graduating seniors with a short pre-game ceremony. This year's graduates are

It's a big weekend for the women's volleyball team with playoff positioning on the line. The Gaels (12-4) take on Toronto (12-4) Friday night at 6 pm and then welcome No.6 Ryerson (15-0) on Saturday night to the Queen's ARC.
The Gaels are looking to secure home court for the OUA playoffs as they are all but assured to meet Toronto in the first round of playoffs with who holds home court still to be decided.Â
The Gaels won the previous matchup this year and are looking for a repeat. Should the Gaels win both games this weekend, they will lock up a home playoff match.
It will be the final home regular season game for veteran senior player
Shannon Neville on Saturday. The team will honour the Gaels captain during a pre-game ceremony.

Women's Basketball
Queen's (16-5) closes out their OUA regular season looking to secure a bye in the opening round of playoffs as they visit Ottawa (14-7) on Friday and No.1 Carleton (21-0) on Saturday. Both games are set for 6 pm tip-offs.
The Gaels need to win one of their final two games or have Ottawa lose to lock up a bye. The Ottawa Gee-Gees are four points behind the Gaels and won the previous meeting this season 61-53 at the ARC.
After winning five-straight, the Gaels have lost their last two with one going to overtime.
Should Queen's fall to third in the OUA East, they will likely host Toronto on Wednesday night in Kingston.
