Queen's at Waterloo November 24, 2007

Waterloo hands Gaels fifth league loss
Queen's 45, Waterloo 58
By Dave Wilson

Although we started the game fairly well, it wasn't long before things went south. A couple of missed hoops (that would normally be considered of the easy variety), coupled with a lack of defensive precision and less than stellar rebounding, led to a late first quarter run by Waterloo to grab a 26-14 lead. Things did not get any better in the second quarter (fans at the game should have asked for a refund) as a total of 14 points were scored in the second frame - to make it worse only 5 of those 14 were Q's points.

Waterloo increased their half time lead, outscoring us 16-11 in the third, making it 51-30 heading into the fourth. While we made a run at them mid way through the quarter, reducing the margin to 12, we never really challenged the outcome. We committed 22 turnovers, in addition to our poor shooting (27%), and struggles on the boards (29-38). Not likely to be competitive with stats like that.

Sarah Barnes was the lone Q's player in double figures with 12 points.
