SEASON RECAP
Looking to make waves in the OUA this year the men’s basketball team did just that showing why they belong among the best in the conference. A 6-1 start to the first term marked a program best for the Gaels and was highlighted by an upset of the No.4 Brock Badgers on home court at the ARC. The second half of the season left Queen’s with five straight road games to start 2016 where the Gaels were only able to come away with one victory. A 99-81 loss at the Ravens nest against Carleton to close off the trip was a record night for Sukhpreet Singh as he set a new career high with 39 points in a game. A 4-3 record the rest of the way, one of which was a thrilling OT win at home to Western, put the Gaels at 11-8 on the season. Queen’s drew the Varsity Blues at home in the playoff opening round. A packed ARC was treated to an 87-70 win on home court by the Gaels who did not disappoint. Riding their momentum Queen’s visited Ottawa in the quarter-final and pushed them to the brink before a last second lay-in gave the Gee-Gees a 73-72 win.

SEASON RECAP Queen’s started the season on a roll rattling off wins in each of their first four games. The stretch concluded with an impressive 60-53 win over the No.4 Marauders on home court. Queen’s suffered their first loss of the season the following night to the No.7 Brock Badgers. Seven straight road games split between the end of Fall and start of Winter terms was up next for Queen’s. The Gaels won five straight to improve to 9-1 on the season breaking into the CIS Top 10 rankings in the process. A pair of losses in Ottawa to the Ravens and Gee-Gees was followed by another five-game win streak highlighted by a 60-41 win over the No.10 Lancers. That game took place in Toronto at the Enercare Centre as part of the NBA AllStar weekend festivities. Andrea Priamo’s double-double landed her player of the game honours in the win. Unable to close out the season on a winning note with a pair of losses to Ryerson and Toronto, the Gaels were set to host Laurentian in the opening playoff round. Queen’s had no trouble with the Voyageurs winning 70-44 and advanced to the quarter-finals at No.8 McMaster. The Marauders proved too much and ended the Gaels season 65-55.

After a Labour Day weekend road loss at Ottawa and a Hall of Fame weekend win at home vs Waterloo, the Gaels prepared themselves for a trip to London to take on the rival Mustangs. The No.3 Western team handed Queen`s a 48-25 defeat despite the Gaels putting up one of the better offensive performances of the year against the Mustangs. The next three games saw Queen`s rattle off three straight victories including an upset of the No.5 Guelph Gryphons 23-15. The highlight of that game was a 108yard touchdown pass from Nate Hobbs to Matteo Del Brocco setting a new Queen`s record. Defensively the Gaels picked off Guelph on three separate occasions and the following week found themselves in the CIS top 10 rankings.

Queen`s couldn`t find an offensive rhythm against an improved Ravens team from their first meeting in the season opener and lost 39-8 in the final game at the old Richardson Stadium. Curtis Carmichael was the OUA nominee for the CIS Russ Jackson award and became just the fourth Gael to be honoured with the award given to an athlete for excellence in football, academics and citizenship.

SEASON RECAP
The 2015 women’s rugby season will go down as one the best the program has had, entering the season as the CIS Championship hosts and not disappointing when the nation turned its eyes toward the Gaels. A young group laced with veteran talent started the season defeating the defending CIS silver medalist and OUA Champion McMaster Marauders at home to start the season. From there Queen’s went 3-1 to finish second in the Russell division. After defeating York in the quarter-final Queen’s lost to Guelph and Western to finish fourth in the OUA. As a result, they entered the national championship as the eighth seed. The Gaels stunned the number one seed Acadia taking a 24-17 win in front of boisterous supportive Gaels crowd at Nixon. In the national semifinal, the Gaels once again pulled through defeating the fifth seed Concordia in a thrilling 2713 victory in front of a capacity crowd. In the championship final, the Gaels met their first opponents of the year, the McMaster Marauders. Their OUA rivals proved to be too much and the Gaels finished as the CIS silver medalists, a new team best result.
