TORONTO, Ont. (September 30, 2018) – The Queen's Gaels (6-5-0) made a late game push but it wasn't enough as they fell 3-1 to the Toronto Varsity Blues (8-3-0).
GAME FLOW
The Tricolour played strong defence for as long as they could, but they conceded a penalty to the Varsity Blues in the 17th minute. Nikola Stakic converted on the penalty to give the Varsity Blues an early 1-0 edge.
Three yellow cards were handed out in the first half, one for Noah Campagna (Ottawa, Ont.), Junior Kwame Addai (Calgary, Alta.) and Toronto's Yousef Helmy as the intensity ramped up. There were five yellow cards handed out during the game in total.
In the 48th minute of the game, the Varsity Blues scored another goal slipping the ball past Alexander Dimock (Ottawa, Ont.).
Although the Gaels were trailing by two goals, the Tricolour continued to play with high intensity and began making strong offensive attacks on the Varsity Blues.
Queen's scored their first goal of the game on a shot by Sean Inaki Hew (Singapore) to bring the game back into striking distance at 2-1.
Another header shot by James Michaelis (Aurora, Ont.) kept the Gaels offensive momentum up but unfortunately in the 90th minute, the Varsity Blues scored again making the final score 3-1 for Toronto.
MUST-SEE MOMENT
Although the Gaels only managed the single goal, it sure was a pretty one.
