Queen's Women's Basketball will head into the winter break with an undefeated 11-0 record after defeating the McMaster Marauders 89-70 Saturday night at the Athletics and Recreation Centre (ARC).

After a tight first quarter, the Gaels poured in 31 points in the second quarter, outscoring their opponents by nine points in the frame, and didn't look back on their way to the 19-point win.

Three Queen's players scored in double digits in the win, with Kiyara Letlow (Kinesiology) leading the way with 20 points and Bella Gaudet (Commerce) adding 19 points. Amy Hagman (Kinesiology) added to the big night for Gaels forwards with 14 points off the bench.

Queen's bench had a strong game overall, contributing 34 points to the win, compared to just nine bench points for the Marauders.

The Gaels' defence was also strong in the win, forcing McMaster into 28 turnovers, which led to 27 points.

With the victory, Queen's maintains their perfect record into the winter break. The first place Gaels will return to the court on January 9 and 10 with a big road trip to Ottawa, Ont. to take on the rival Carleton Ravens and Ottawa Gee-Gees.
