It was the Gaiters turn to host UQAM on Saturday night after winning the first one of the week on Thursday night. The Gaiters once again proved to be too much for the Citadins on both ends of the floor. The Gaiters had a comfortable 37-27 lead at the half, but blew it open in the third quarter when they took a 60-39 lead. They coasted to another victory by the score of 72-53. This one was a little different, however, as the Gaiters clinched first place in the RSEQ. They are now set to host a semi-final game on March 2, 2022. Opponent and time to be confirmed soon.
