McMaster dominates the Gaels
Queen's 55, McMaster 78
By Dave Wilson
In terms of the weekend games, we started extremely poorly against a very strong McMaster squad. It was quite clear that our confidence had been shaken by the previous week's poor performance. We trailed 24-7 after the first quarter. We settled down a little better in the second quarter, but our shooting woes continued, finishing the half shooting just 31% from the floor and trailing 40-21. McMaster continued to pound us on the boards in the third quarter, increasing their lead to 59-32 after another 10 minutes. With the game well out-of-reach, we managed to find our range a little better in the fourth, dropping 23 points to Mac's 19.
Erin Skippon continues to get stronger after her long injury-prompted lay off, and scored a team-high 12 points.
