Friday vs. Laval
The Gaiters played a solid game in Quebec City on Tuesday.  They lost 2-0, but the game was even closer than that.  Bishop's, despite sitting multiple regular starters, had the best chances in the first half but were unable to find the back of the net.  Laval scored in the 65^th minute, and then sealed it in stoppage time with their second of the night.
 
The Gaiters are now 0-13-0 since 2013 against Laval.
