On what was a historic night, the Gaiters played a tough game against a physical opponent in the UQAM Citadins. On the Gaiters second possession of the night, Amaiquen Siciliano (Buenos Aires, Argentina/Velez Sarsfield) reached 1000 career regular season points when she drained a 3-point shot with supreme confidence. Both teams struggled offensively for the rest of the first half, and the Citadins took a narrow 33-31 lead into the break. The Gaiters found their rhythm in the 3rd quarter, where they scored 25 points and took a comfortable 56-47 lead. UQAM put up a fight in the fourth but to no avail, and the Gaiters left Montreal with a 80-66 win.
