GAMES OF THE WEEK

---

Women's Basketball

The Gaels (11-7) have just one game on the docket this weekend as they host the York Lions (8-10) in the game of the week. Tip-off is set for 6 pm at the ARC Main Gym.

Queen's is coming off of an impressive home weekend that saw them put up 95 points in a win over Nipissing on Friday and then take down Laurentian Saturday on a night where senior Marianne Alarie hit the 1,000 point milestone.

Early in the second quarter against the Voyageurs, Alarie made a basket which marked her 1000th and 1001st career points as a Gael. She finished the game with 13 points and now sits at 1,009 in her career. Alarie joins recent Gaels greats Liz Boag (1,055) Jenny Wright (1,167) and Brittany Moore (1,652) in the 1,000 point club. Moore holds the Queen's all-time record with 1,652 which she established in 2012.

The Lions sit just six points behind the Gaels for fourth place in the OUA East while Queen's themselves are six points behind Ryerson for third. The game could end up proving to be a potential preview of the OUA opening playoff round as the fourth seed hosts the fifth seed.

The game will also mark a homecoming of sorts as Emily Hazlett returns to the ARC as a Lions assistant coach. The former Gaels captain was recently featured by U SPORTS - check out the story here.

Queen's (9-9) continue to battle for a home playoff game and will look to pick up two points this Friday night as they welcome the York Lions (6-12) to the ARC Main Gym for an 8 pm tip-off.
 
Queen's is coming off of a home split this past weekend that saw them take down Nipissing on Friday night but fall to Laurentian on Saturday. Friday nights game needed overtime where Queen's took control and finished with an 84-75 win.

With the loss to Laurentian, the Gaels now trail the Sudbury squad by two points for fourth in the OUA standings and sit just four points ahead of Toronto for fifth. 

Tanner Graham continues to push towards the men's basketball all-time top three scorers list as he currently has 1,194 career points and is 85 behind former Gaels Derek Richardson for third. The Gaels all-time leader is Sukhpreet Singh who finished his Gaels career with 1,379 points.

This weekend the Gaels (11-8-0-0) host a pair of games welcoming the Laurier Golden Hawks (4-14-0-1) on Friday night and Waterloo Warriors (9-5-1-3) on Saturday with both games set for 7:30 pm puck drops at the Kingston Memorial Centre.

Saturday nights game marks a pair of special occasions for the Gaels as it is Senior night and the graduating seniors on the team will be recognized in a special pre-game ceremony.

When Queen's hosted the U SPORTS National Championship in 2017 and recognized the women's hockey championship teams from the 1970s, the reunion generated what has become the 1970 Women's Hockey Championship Athletic Award. The recipient will be announced on Saturday prior to puck-drop in a special ceremony.

The Gaels are currently holding down sixth in the OUA and are just one point ahead of Waterloo.
