Saturday's semifinal game was a tight contest through the first three quarters, with the Lancers leading at half time and after the third quarter, before Queen's Football outscored their opponent 16-0 in the final quarter to pull away and earn the 11-point win.

Running back Jared Chisari (Graduate Studies) continued a strong season for Queen's, pacing the offence with 176 yards and two touchdowns off 16 carries, including a late score that put the game out of reach for Windsor and secured the win for Queen's.

Quarterback Alex Vreeken (Kinesiology) had an efficient outing, finishing 18-27 for 183 yards and two touchdowns. Vreeken's two scores went to Logan Walton and Nathan Falconi.

Walton (Economics) led Queen's in receiving with 91 yards off three receptions while Falconi (Health Studies) continued an excellent season with four receptions for 64 yards.

Queen's defence held the Lancers to just 110 yards passing and recorded two sacks, with Jacob Baldwin (Economics) and Eric Johnston (Environmental Studies) each bringing down the quarterback once, and two interceptions, with Ashton Miller-Melancon (Arts & Science) and John Corscadden (Graduate Studies) each recording an interception.

Baldwin also led Queen's in tackles with 11 on the game. And for Miller-Melancon, the interception was their fifth on the season, regular season and playoffs combined.

Queen's Football will look to exact some revenge on Laurier, after the Golden Hawks defeated Queen's at Richardson Stadium in early September, 47-32.
