KINGSTON, Ont (February 7, 2014) - Deadly shooting from No. 2 Ottawa sealed the Gaels fate on Friday night at the ARC, as Queen's fell 103-76 to the Gee-Gees.

Queen's took their biggest lead of the game when Roshane Roberts (#4 Vaughan, Ont.) hit a three-pointer to open the scoring. From there, the Gee-Gees tied the game at 5-5 and went on to show why they are the second best team in the country. Ottawa was 15/31 from beyond the arc and hit 90% of their free-throws.

The Gaels were down 51-35 at halftime, struggling from three-point land, going just 3/15.

Positives for the Gaels included balanced scoring, with four players reaching double-digits. Roberts picked up a team-high 16, as Sukhpreet Singh (#7 Toronto) and Patrick Street (Etobicoke, Ont.) put in 12 apiece, and Nikola Misljencevic (#9 Ottawa) broke the barrier with 10.

Ottawa's best players led the team, with Terry Thomas earning a double-double on 25 points and 11 rebounds. Johnny Berhanemeskel was the next-best Gee-Gee, potting 20 points and going 5/6 on three-point attempts.
