Ashton Miller-Melancon (Dorval, Que.) dominated on the defensive side with two key interceptions. Later on, Queen's scored off a safety and another field goal by Mullan, finishing off the first quarter with an 8-0 lead.

The offence picked up during the fourth, as Soles scored his second touchdown of the game early on with an eight-yard run. Guelph would later respond, cutting Queen's lead to 24-17. During the last minutes of the game, Guelph had a chance to even the score but Darien Newell (Brampton, Ont.) stopped the threat with a sack and Queen's escaped Alumni Stadium with a 24-17 win.
 
Newell had another strong game rushing the quarterback, finishing with two sacks and three tackles for a loss. Newell's performance was matched by fellow pass-rusher Silas Hubert (Hastings, Ont.), who finished with two sacks, four tackles for a loss, and 7.5 tackles.
