MESSAGE FROM MANAGER OF RECREATION & SPORT CLUBS Congratulations on another successful season! In 2011-2012, you maintained the storied Queen's tradition of athletic success as our Varsity Clubs continued to post top results both on and off the competition surface!

BASEBALL Back Row (L-R): Bill Ivimey (Assistant Coach), James Carter, Ben Schoening, Graham Skelhorne-Gross, Matt Reagan, Daniel Weiss, Ryan Abraham, Jeff Skelhorne-Gross, Jeremy McDonald, Jacob Zilli, Murray Wong, Jonathan Conte, Justin Firth, Brad Murphy (Assistant Coach), Ken Spicer (Head Coach) Front Row (L-R): Joey Metzler, Aaron Botham, Colin Hogan, Robert Libman, Christopher Stewart, Michael Ghazal, Ethan Newton, Jody Pint, Alex Mann, David Venturi Absent: Alex Slessor

SEASON RECAP The Queen's University baseball team was faced with the challenge of rebuilding this year, having lost 11 stalwart players from last season. Despite this obstacle, the team forged ahead in the highly competitive OUA.

Q - Denotes student-athletes receiving a "Q Award" (page 29)

The 2011 Gaels made great strides as a program from a season ago despite difficulty closing out victories on the scoresheet. The rejuvinated offense was far more potent, adding pop from newcomers such as Jeff Skelhorne-Gross, Christopher Stewart, Justin Firth and Matt Reagan. Again, on the mound, fresh faces led the way including Jeremy McDonald, Ryan Abraham as well as Reagan. But the highlight of the year was a two-hit shutout hurled by veteran southpaw Robbie Libman beating Waterloo and, ultimately, playing spoiler by keeping them out of the playoffs. Other tremendous games included a 13-inning one run-loss, that included 8 innings of 1-earnedrun ball by Abraham, to eventual chamption UofT and a 2-2 record at the annual Queen's Alumni Tournament. With a year of experience under their belts, there is no telling how much this team can achieve in 2013.

SEASON RECAP Queen's Curling went into the 2011/12 season looking to improve on the results from last season, but unfortunately came out on the wrong side of the inch in one too many games.

Q - Denotes student-athletes receiving a "Q Award" (page 29)

The men finished 5th in their pool with a 3-3 record, behind a 4-team logjam for first place at 4-2. All of their losses were by a single point, including an extra end loss to Laurentian in their first game of the week. Every member of the team is returning to Queen's for next year, and are looking forward to working together for greater success next season. The women finished 6th in their pool with a 2-4 record. Their losses against both Brock and McMaster came on last rock, within a finger's reach of victory.

SEASON RECAP

RESULTS • 1st in University Cup Series (U-Cup)

After graduating much of last year's team, this season was an important year of rebuilding for the Queen's cycling team. With the addition of 23 new rookies the team was given a huge task. They were not only able to rebuild, but work together to take the top position in the university cup for a second year in a row. Having tied with Guelph for the overall championship last year the team achieved their goal of being the sole provincial champions of 2011-12.

TEAM AWARDS • Most Dedicated: Hank Jien • Rookie: Haley Smith SPECIAL HONOURS • Etienne Moreau (2nd place - Men's 'A' overall) • Jon Slaughter (3rd place - Men's 'A' overall) • Haley Smith (Champion - Women's 'A' overall) • Victoria Giangrande (2nd place - Women's 'A' overall) • Eric Armstrong (3rd place - Men's 'B' overall) • Kassia Blattner (3rd place - Women's 'B' overall)

With strong riders in all four categories there was great hope for the season. At the first race, spanning two days at Mansfield Ont., the team showed their strength by taking the overall points lead. At the races to follow they continued to increase their lead over Guelph and Toronto even despite losing a women's 'A' rider to injury.

GRADUATES • Eric Armstrong Q • Monty Bassin Q • Victoria Giangrande Q • Kimberly Hagesteijn Q • Kassia Blattner • Jennifer Campbell • Sarah Nicol • Nicole Pacas • Alexa Smye • Aryssah Stankevitsch • Blake Sedore

Men's 'A' had another great year with Etienne Moreau earning two first place finishes and coming second overall while Jon Slaughter came third overall. In women's 'A' Haley Smith never lost a race claiming the overall victory in her first year on the team and Victoria Giangrande placed second overall. Brennan Berardo came out midseason for the Queen's team placing first and second in men's 'B' and Eric Armstrong took third place overall in this category.

Q - Denotes student-athletes receiving a "Q Award" (page 29)

Despite tough competition against their opponents and the elements, the Gaels alternated weekends of wins with tight series losses to the top teams in the province. After dropping both games in the opening weekend of the season to Brock and McMaster, the team bounced back with four points in week two thanks to weekend victories over Guelph before dropping a pair of games to Toronto. They split both gamedays during week three to come away with four points in games against Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier. Weeks four and five brought about tough weather and an even tougher pair of series for the Gaels as they were rained out each weekend against Windsor and Carleton respectively before dropping doubleheaders to Western and Ottawa. Big performers for the team this season included Shannon Rauh-Wasmund, Amelia Keech, Chloe Boynton, Kayla Forbes and Julia Duszczyszyn who all put up big single game performances over the course of the season.

SEASON RECAP

Q - Denotes student-athletes receiving a "Q Award" (page 29)

The Queen’s Field Hockey team had a challenging season with many close matches. The season felt too short for the team who finally began to adapt to the new style of play and reach their potential towards the end of the season. In their final games, the girls demonstrated a quality of play that bodes extremely well for future success at the OUA and national level. The veterans came into their own, building both their strength and confidence in the process. This season marked the beginning of the Queen’s careers of a very promising rookie class as well. International representation from Scotland and Northern Ireland brought new perspective to the team. The team looks forward to taking advantage of these newfound international connections for tours in future years. Thank you to graduating players for their hard work and dedication to the team throughout their careers, both on and off the field. The team benefited and learned from their commitment to all aspects of the program, setting a great foundation for moving forward. The girls played with a fierce young strength and are working hard to come out flying, alongside promising recruits, in the 2012/2013 season.

The women’s golf team went through a tough season losing Justice Durland and Nina Wan who both withdrew from the team due to a heavy school schedule. They hope to have them back next year. This left Captain Hailey Ingleson with a complete rookie team. Their second player in all events was Karen MacKay an exchange student from Scotland who was a pleasant surprise. Making up the rest of the team for the OUA Championship was Jennifer Kates and Alexandra Rawn. The Gaels hosted the 2011 OUA Championship at Loyalist Golf Club. Another year's experience should make for a better 2012. The men's OUA Championship was hosted by Queen’s at the Cataraqui Golf Club. The 16 team event was won by Waterloo with Queen’s finishing in 2nd place. It was Queen’s best showing for the season. Russell Bowie earned first team all-star status and Matt Courchene earned second team all-star status. The men's team qualified to play in Golf Canada’s Canadian University/College Championship hosted by the University of Victoria at the Cordova Golf Club in Victoria B.C. at the end of May 2012.

RESULTS • 0-10 in Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association (CUFA) sixth in division

The Men’s Lacrosse team managed to compete with some of the top teams in the league, keeping pace in most games up until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Despite being unable to register a win, the team - which welcomed 16 rookies to the roster this season - now contains a dedicated core that shows promise for years to come. The rookie class contained three capable goalies who proved they were capable of making exceptional saves in order to keep their team in games.

TEAM AWARDS • MVP: Ryan Zoehner • Rookie: Marc Santos GRADUATES • Steve Brake • Andre Degagne Q • Brendan Gibbs Q • Kevin Harper Q • Braden Hergott Q • Tim Sawa

Ian Curry was named honourable mention for East Division All-Canadian after a successful year in the faceoff circle as one of the league’s top face off specialists, forcing opposing teams to alter strategies to account for his success. Ryan Zoehner was also named an honourable mention for East Division All-Canadian for manning the defensive end of the field with strong leadership and stick skills. This year was a break-out year for a few players, to highlight a few; rookie Marc Santos was a dominant force on both ends of the field as a skilled two way midfield and Nate Kerstens transitioned into a dominant long-stick midfielder with his exceptional shutdown and ball carrying abilities. The team was led by a committed group of veterans which included: Steve Brake, Andre Degagne, Brendan Gibbs, Kevin Harper and Braden Hergott who showed dedication and instilled a strong work ethic into the program.

SEASON RECAP The Gaels once again won Bronze at the OUA Championship in Guelph. The regular season started with a disappointing loss to U of T in the inaugural game on the new West Campus field and improved from there. Overall, the season was 6-5-1 with 119 goals for and 91 against as Queen’s ranked 4th in the OUA. Western continues to be a nemesis as the Gaels haven’t beat them in just over two seasons.

Q - Denotes student-athletes receiving a "Q Award" (page 29)

The OUA Championship played out in identical fashion to one season ago. Queen's faced McMaster in the quarterfinals and won handily. That win advanced the Gaels to the semifinals against Western where they lost. The Bronze medal game against Toronto saw the Varsity Blues score first but Queen’s charged back, led by freshman Teresa Mayo’s three goals and a diligent defense led by Darcy Vidler. The final score was 10 – 6. Over the season, forward Jackie Byers (player/ coach) led the team with 34 goals and 50 points, followed by Teresa Mayo with 28 and 35 and forward Marsha Cryderman (co-captain with Mary-Michelle Bolland) with 20 and 25.

Q - Denotes student-athletes receiving a "Q Award" (page 29)

QST was by far one of the strongest teams in CIC Sailing and won the Team Race Championship hosted at home at the Kingston Yacht Club and the Fleet Race Championship hosted by McGill. QST faired well in MAISA as well with many strong finishes. Once again the team was only a couple points short of qualifying for the WAR memorial Trophy. Single handed sailors Evert McLaughlin and Matthew Ryder placed one-two at laser North to qualify QST for the Carl Van Duyne Trophy. The keelboat team improved upon last year’s result and placed in the top ten at the Strom Trysail Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta. Overall it was a season full of ups and downs. The team would like to thank Coach Stephen Waldie for all his hard work and guidance. As well they would like to send a big thank you out to all the members of the Alumni Booster Club and the Kingston Yacht Club for all their help and support over the past season.

SEASON RECAP

RESULTS • 2nd place at OUA Championship

The Queen's Men's Squash Team had a very successful 2011-12 season. The first tournament was the Jesters Eastern Sectional at McGill with Queen's winning all of their match-ups. Newcomer Lee Davey, playing at No. 6, won all of his matches and began to show the form that carried him to the No. 3 spot on the team at the OUA Championships. The next competition was the Jesters Crossover Tournament that was held in Toronto. Queen's beat Toronto and Waterloo, but lost to Western, the perennial OUA powerhouse, and McMaster. As a result of these two tournaments, Queen's was seeded third out of seven teams going into the Canadian Jesters University Squash Championships. Queen's win against Waterloo put them into the semi-finals against McMaster who beat Queen's 4-2 at the Crossover. This time around, Queen's and McMaster won three matches each but Queen's lost the tie-breaker on games. Queen's then beat Toronto in the 3-4 playoff to take the bronze medal.

The final event of the season was the OUA Squash Championship held at Toronto. Queen's went into the tournament seeded No. 2 on the basis of its silver medal performance in the 2010-2011 season. In pool play Queen's managed to avenge its earlier losses to McMaster by winning a thrilling tie-breaker on games. This together with their win over Brock put them into the semi-final match against Toronto. Here they had one of their best performances of the season, beating Toronto 5-1, which put them into the gold medal round against Western. Although many of the matches were extremely close, Western came out on top 6-0 giving Queen's silver. In addition, Alex Ford, playing at No.1, received the bronze medal in the individual competition.

The team rallied to overcome this obstacle with Most Valuable Player, Gwyn Ross and Co-Captain Alayna Bradd stepping up big with both their on court performance and leadership off-court. Queen's finished second in the Jesters championships after first winning a tight match against McGill in the semi-final, with the decider being won by No. 1 Erin Roberts in a thrilling five set match. They fought hard in the final, but they came away with only two wins, one of which came from a stellar performance by Rookie of the Year, Emily Peebles. Unfortunately, the OUA Championship did not go the Gaels way, and they finished in a disappointing fifth place. Other notable performances throughout the season came from Queens Squash’s oldest rookie ever, Erin Smith, and powerhouse Allegra Courtright.

Both teams showed great developmental progress throughout practices leading up to Nationals.

We fought hard in the finals but an overpowering Manitoba team was too much. Tough loss aside, the squad captured the silver and were proud of what they accomplished this season as the best team in Ontario. The second team also showed great improvement at Nationals, beating all the other B teams and taking a game against Brock’s A team, showing their true potential for next season.

The Gaels started their season well at the Carleton Invitational tournament in the preseason, despite missing the majority of their starters. The team boasted a balanced scoring attack throughout the season as a variety of players routinely contributed. Top scorers included rookies Jacob Miller, and Toby Gorman, as well as veterans Hugh Ragan, Ian Pinchin, and James Bickerton. As always the Gaels benefited from stellar goaltending from two of the best goalies in the OUA, Charles McClintok and Trevor Robinson. The Gaels traveled to Carleton for the OUA Championship and were knocked out of medal contention after losing a tough game to York. The Gaels placed an eventual sixth in the OUA standings.

The women’s water polo team got off to a good start at the Carleton Invitational tournament in late September, finishing with one win and several close games against the strongest teams in the league. From there the team only improved, with veterans and rookies both contributing to the team’s overall success at the Queen’s tournament. Captains Rebecca Love, Emily Ready and Marissa Robinson led the Gaels at the 2011 OUA Water Polo Championships held in Ottawa at the end of November. A crucial win against the Ottawa GeeGees landed the Gaels in the bronze medal game. Battling McMaster, Meredith Williams, Marissa Robinson and Judith Weist all tacked up goals, but it was not enough to beat the Marauders. It was a heartbreaking loss, with a final score of 4-3, earning the Queen’s team fourth place at the OUA Championship. Co-captain Marissa Robinson was the only Queen’s player to be named to the OUA All-Star team. Strong contribution to the Gael’s scoring effort throughout the season included rookies Shannon Craig and Alexandra Watt.

Since 2005, we’ve improved our water use ratio by 24%. Now that’s refreshing news. To learn more about what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, join us at livepositively.ca
