GAME ACTION
In addition to welcoming the Queen's Gaels to Alumni Field, the Lancers were also welcoming home alumni. The Lancers gave their alumni something to cheer about early as they marched the opening possession into Gaels territory. Though Queen's toughed up, the Lancers were able to score a field goal to take the lead early at 3-0.
 
The rest of the first half would be all Gaels as they would score 16 straight points to close the half. The Lancers, despite three first half turnovers by their defense could not find the offensive precision that they had on the first drive.
 
The Gaels came out strong to start the second quarter and a series of Lancers miscues would allow for the Gaels offense to score 21 points in five minutes.  The Lancers simply could not find any rhythm of offense after the first drive as the game slipped further and further away.
