GAME FLOW
The Gaels came roaring out of the gates, putting the Paladins under pressure almost immediately. Queen's broke the deadlock only five minutes into the match, as first year midfielder Nick Alie Day capitalized on the Paladins sloppy defending.

In the 35^th minute the Gaels doubled the advantage, this time assisted by Nick Alie Day and finished by Brevin MacKay.
 
In the 42^nd minute, the Gaels put the match further out of reach when 5^th year forward Antoine Noel glanced home a header off a corner kick.
 
The Gaels consolidated their advantage in the second half adding goals from Andrew Kim and Junior Kwame Addai.
 
BY THE NUMBERS
4 – Brevin MacKay scored his 4^th goal of the season, backing up his two-goal performance from the weekend
3- This was the Gaels 3^rd clean sheet of the season and third in their last four matches
 
FINAL SAY
Post-match, head coach Christian Hoefler explained the importance of his early tactical adjustments: "They're (RMC) usually very organized defensively…we saw they were pushing a bit high up the pitch and wanted to take advantage of the space in behind, looking for some creation from our midfield and attacking three."
