OUA LACROSSE ROUNDUP: GAELS RECORD TWO WINS
TORONTO, Ont. – Queen’s women’s lacrosse walked away with two decisive victories this weekend, but lost a crucial match-up to first place Laurier.
On Saturday, the Gaels took on the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks – the reigning OUA Champions and fell 12-8. The win maintained Laurier’s first place position.
Heidi Krasnozon (Brampton, Ont.) had three goals and an assist for the Gaels in the losing effort while Jackie Byers (Mississauga, Ont.) scored her 10th goal of the season.
In the afternoon matchup, Byers scored four times and added two assists as the Gaels edged Toronto 13-12. Byers is now tied for third for goals in the OUA with 14.
On Sunday, Queen’s travelled to Hamilton to meet the Guelph Gryphons on neutral soil. Queen’s easily defeated Guelph 12-6 and improved their record to 5-1-0. They now sit just two points behind Laurier for first place.

PULLEN POCKETS THREE IN MUSTANGS WIN
HAMILTON, Ont. - The Western Mustangs moved into a tie for fourth in the OUA with a 10-7 win over Guelph at McMaster University on Sept. 28
It was all Western early and they held on to win, setting up three very important games in Kingston, Ont., next weekend when they play Queen's and McGill on Oct. 4 and Toronto on Oct. 5.
"We should have probably been up 5-0 after the first 10 minutes," said head coach Dave Hastings, noting the team hit a number of posts early on.
The Mustangs had a 10-5 lead with a minute left in the game and gave up two late goals with the game already decided.
"We had strong goaltending again," Hastings said of rookie goaltender Andrea McLaughlin (Oakville, Ont.). "We did very well."
Nicole Pullen (Orangeville, Ont.) led Western once again with three goals and one assist. Ashley Ridgeway (Whitby, Ont.) added a pair of goals while Tasha McLean (London, Ont.) sniped the first two goals of her young collegiate lacrosse career.
Larissa Boychuk (Mississauga, Ont.) netted two goals and added an assist, while Lauren Hopkins (Brampton, Ont.) had the other Western goal.
