Gaels Women's Field Hockey go Undefeated in Home weekend

The Gaels hosted the OUA Field hockey teams this weekend at Tindall field, going undefeated in their three games against the York Lions, Waterloo Warriors, and McGill Martlets. The Gaels pulled off a 1-1 tie with York, a 3-0 win against Waterloo and a 4-0 win against McGill to pull into third place in the OUA standings. Off to a promising start, Queen's has already matched their total number of wins from last year in the second week of play.

The Gaels battled through a scoreless first half against York University on Saturday. The lions slipped a goal into the net early in the second half, but Queen's remained composed, allowing second year Taylor Herrington to put the ball into York's net shortly afterward. Although they fought hard, the final score remained 1-1. In their second game of the day, the Gaels played Waterloo and were up 3-0 at halftime, with goals coming from Herrington (open play), third year Caitlin Gordon (penalty corner) and first year Nicole Dye (penalty corner). There were no goals in the second half, despite many exciting chances. On Sunday, Queen's faced McGill, beating them 4-0, with Herrington scoring another two goals, bringing her weekend total to four. First year Justina Johl and second year Margot Gunning also scored for the Gaels. All four goals were scored in field play.

Queen's played in front of a good crowd of friends and parents, who provided incredible support at their home weekend. The field hockey team would like to thank everyone for their support, and invites fans to continue to tune in for updates throughout the season.
