A roundup of Queen's Gaels teams in action over the weekend:

WOMEN’S RUGBY

The No. 8 Queen's Gaels (2-2) demolished the Trent Excalibur (3-1) in the opening quarterfinal round of the OUA playoffs 109-0 Friday night in Kingston.

The Gaels proved to be much stronger and faster than the Excalibur, breaking tackles and beating defenders early and often. Sophie de Goede was the first to score, followed soon by Nadia Popov. The Gaels also showed off their impressive defence, not allowing Trent to enter their zone for most of the opening half while controlling the majority of possession. Mid-way through the half, de Goede managed to score back to back tries and added a fourth in the final minutes before the break.

The Gaels started slowly in the second half, but a nice goal-line run by Lydia Salgo put the Gaels on the board again. Even with a huge lead, the Gaels did not slow down. Emma Frey, Jordi Di Nardo, and Molly Labenski each managed to get in the end-zone early in the second half.

With the win the Gaels advance to the OUA semifinal where they will take on the McMaster Marauders in Hamilton.

MEN’S RUGBY

The Queen's Gaels (6-0) kept their perfect record intact with a 66-15 win on the road at Brock (4-2) on Friday. 

In total eight Gaels scored tries led by two each from Michael Douros and Alex Colborne. Colborne was also able to connect on eight conversions bringing his game total to 26 points.

With the win Queen's moves to 6-0 on the season and have all but locked up the top spot in the OUA.
