In a battle of U SPORTS Top 10 ranked teams, Queen's Men's Basketball fell to the Ottawa Gee-Gees 95-82 Friday night in Ottawa, Ont.

The No. 6 ranked Gaels were competitive through the first quarter, and led the No. 5 ranked Gee-Gees 23-22 at the first quarter break, but Ottawa would go on a second quarter run to take a double digit lead into half time, and never look back.

Queen's would stage a fourth quarter comeback attempt, outscoring Ottawa by 12 points down the stretch, but the Gee-Gees would hold on for the 13-point win.

Ollie Engen (PROGRAM) led the Gaels' offence with a team-high 23 points in the loss, while A.J. Cummings (PPROGRAM) also scored in double digits for Queen's, finishing with 10 points.

The loss dropped the Gaels' record to 14-3 while the Gee-Gees improved to 16-2 with the win. Queen's remains in second place in the OUA East Division standings, tied with the Carleton Ravens and 1.5 games behind Ottawa.

The Gaels will close out their weekend road trip in the nation's capital Saturday night, taking on the No. 8 ranked Ravens at 8 p.m. Gaels fans can catch all the action live on OUA.tv.
