WOMEN'S FIELD HOCKEY
Gaels end the season with two victories at home!

This weekend was the last set of regular season games for OUA field hockey. Queen's had the pleasure of hosting the other 6 teams in the league. The Gaels faced Waterloo and Western on Saturday and played Guelph on Sunday. This weekend highlighted the vast strides the team has taken since the beginning of the season. Amanda Thoo played three stellar games in the Queen's net - along with amazing performances by team captain Emily Mills and Justina Johl on defence Queen's decreased the number of goals scored against us by the 1st ranked Guelph by 50%.

The first game of the weekend Queen's faced the 4th place Waterloo in an early morning match. Amanda Thoo secured her second shut-out of the season. In the first 10 minutes of play Annabel Irwin scored a nice goal off the top of the circle off a penalty corner. In the 23rd minute 4th year Caitlin Gordon scored the second goal in regular play. Queen's worked hard to prevent Waterloo from gaining any scoring opportunities. The win was secured in the second half by a late goal by Sophie Kinley.
