How it happened
Bishop's opened the scoring on a goal by
Simon Winquist (Sherbrooke, Que./Champlain-Lennoxville). Bishop's had the 3-2 lead after the first frame. Two goals by
Eric Mawdsley (Innisfil, Ont./Trinity Pawling School), in the second quarter had the Gaiters and Gaels tied 5-5 at halftime. Queen's shot ahead in the third, they lead by as much as three before the Gaiters could find the back of the net. The score was 9-7 after three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Bishop's tied it up with 8:50 to play, but Queen's took the lead back. Perron scored the tying goal and the eventual winning goal, to send the Gaiters back to Lennoxville, Que. with the 12-11 win.
Coach Rob Engelken:
"It wasn't pretty but we got the job done today. We played well into our bench and our subs played well. Our depth will help us over the next 5 weeks.
Captain Winquist had a strong day on offense and
Noah Lane (Mississauga, Ont./) and
Taylor Kauffeldt (Aurora, Ont./Aurora H.S.) played well on defense."
