Field HockeyÂ

On Saturday, the Gaels faced two of the top teams in the league: the University of Toronto Varsity and Guelph Gryphons. Despite their best attempts, the Gaels conceded two losses.
On Sunday, in the pouring rain and hungry for a win, the Gaels took to the field against the Western Mustangs. After a scoreless first quarter, Western opened up the scoring with an early goal in the second quarter. Third-year Isabel Mastantuono found the back of the net to tie up the game. The Mustangs pushed back with a quick second goal, but Queen's responded with a stroke penalty shot from Abby Beaton. In the third quarter, a tip by Leigh Janssen off a short corner allowed the Gaels to take the lead. Queen's extended their lead with two goals from Brooke Ritchie and Ella King to secure a 5-2 win at Tindall Field.Â
