The Golden Gaels Women’s lacrosse team has had an undeniably solid start to their season winning their first two league games against the York Yeomen 17-6 and the McGill Martlets 16-8.Continue...

The Queen’s baseball team came away empty-handed this weekend, losing both of their doubleheaders against Carleton and the University of Ottawa.

Despite playing well defensively, the Golden Gaels had difficulties producing runs. “We were happy with the defense, but you can’t win a ball game with three hits,” said head coach Perry Conrad.Continue...

The Gaels’ first road game of the season marked the continuation of a series dating back to 1884, as they travelled — along with a 2000—person—strong fan base — to Montreal to face the Redmen in the annual Kill McGill affair. Despite boisterous cheering from that large section of supporters, the Gaels were defeated 30-15, victims of a second half comeback by McGill.Continue...

The track and field team initiated their annual push for some spare dollars in a beer bottle sweep of the ghetto, erasing all evidence of frosh week binge-drinking except the hangover, and netting the club more than $450.

The return from 4,520 empties — domestic and imports alike — will go towards the funding of equipment and extra buses for the upcoming season.Continue...

Over the span of seventeen years Joanna Hackett, number 12 on the Queens Golden Gaels soccer team, has two national championships and three provincial championships under her belt.

She also has the distinct honour of playing on a variety of touring clubs, including the Nepean United Spirits and the semi-professional Ottawa Fury, just to name a few. With a history like Hackett’s then, it was no surprise to see all eyes upon her Saturday as she darted in and out of defenders on her way to scoring both goals in the Gaels season-opening 2-0 road win over the Carleton Ravens.Continue...

As the warm summer day quickly turned into a chilly autumn evening, the Gaels baseball team ended the Durham Lords four game undefeated streak by topping them 1-0 in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday night at McGaffin Field.Continue...

After a mediocre weekend, going 1-2-1 in the University of Toronto Invitational at Lamport stadium, the Gaels field hockey team is refined and ready for the regular season.

Friday’s turf wars produced two narrow losses, as the Gaels dropped both games by 1-0 scores to the Guelph Gryphons and the Marauders from McMaster. While McMaster’s defeat of the Gaels was a less than desirable effort by the squad, the Guelph fixture was an encouraging performance against a tough team.Continue...

An ancient proverb states that a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step.Continue...

Two OUA championships in a row won’t be enough to satisfy the hunger of the Gaels women’s lacrosse team, who start their drive to three-peat this season on September 24 against the York Yeowomen and the Marletts of McGill. Despite losing six players from last year’s championship lineup, head coach Cheryl McNeill still has a lot of faith in her remaining troops. Players such as Darcie Spearing, a two-time OUA East Division All-star, and Heather Goodin, the East Division’s Rookie Of The Year and Outstanding Defensive Player last season, will be forced to pick up the slack.Continue...
