Men’s rugby shuts out Guelph
The men’s rugby team closed out the regular season with a 34-0 win over the Guelph Gryphons on Saturday afternoon at Tindall Field.
The game was the Gryphons’ first appearance since Guelph Athletics imposed a two-game suspension for an alcohol-related rookie party.
Gryphons head coach Dale Devine said the long trip to Kingston and the suspension break contributed to a sloppy performance.
“We were rusty,” he said. “But we’re still in the playoffs and we’ll move forward.”
Fly half Liam Underwood scored 14 points to end the season with an OUA-best 66 points.
Queen’s head coach Peter Huigenbos said although the Gryphons troubled his team with their speed, the Gaels played a smart, defensive game.
With the win, the Gaels finish 7-1, earning a first-round playoff bye. They’ll host an OUA semifinal next Saturday at Tindall Field.

On Sunday, the Gaels blew a 2-0 lead in a 6-3 loss to the undefeated Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks.
