Queen’s Women’s Volleyball suffered a heartbreaking loss in round one of the OUA playoffs on Feb. 21, when they fell to the University of Toronto (U of T) Varsity Blues in five sets.
The Men’s Basketball team clinched a spot in the OUA semifinals with a thrilling comeback, edging the 15-7 Carleton Ravens 86-83 on Feb. 22 at the ARC.
Every year, since the hiring of current Men’s Volleyball Head Coach Gabriel deGroot in the 2018-19 season, the Gaels have been a perennial OUA championship contender.
In the sport of running, there are few achievements as prestigious as running a sub-four minute mile. In history, less than 2,000 athletes have achieved the mark.
With just one game remaining in the OUA regular season, the Gaels sit in second place with a point and game in hand over the first place Concordia Stingers.
In honour of Black History Month, I thought it was a good time to assess the policies and initiatives present at Queen’s and nationwide that aim to promote inclusivity and diversity in sports.
The Women’s Basketball team spent the weekend in Ottawa, tipping off against the Ottawa Gee-Gees on Jan. 31 in a 53-60 loss, then playing against the top-ranked Carleton Ravens on Feb. 1, where they lost 63-72. To start the game, the Gaels capitalized on the Gee-Gee’s inability to shoot from beyond the arc, outscoring Ottawa 17-14 in the first frame. In the second quarter, the Gaels saw their lead disappear after being dominated by the Gee-Gees in the paint.
