Purboo (Economics) the Gaels netminder was unbeatable between the pipes, turning aside all 26 shots faced to backstop Queen's to a commanding 4-0 victory over the Toronto Varsity Blues in the OUA Bronze Medal Game, securing both a podium finish and a berth in the U SPORTS University Cup.

Cummings led the Gaels in scoring with a season-high 24 points, shooting an efficient 69% from the field, including an impressive 6-of-8 from beyond the arc, while also securing five rebounds.

In the U SPORTS Consolation Semifinal on Friday against the UBC Thunderbirds, Queen's fought hard but ultimately came up short once again, falling 107-98 to conclude the 2024-25 season. Cummings contributed six points and four rebounds in the final contest of the campaign.
