Queen's Sports Information

Quarterback James Keenan threw for 176 yards and a touchdown and the Queen's Football defence held the Ottawa Gee-Gees to just three points in the second half as Queen's defeated Ottawa 26-16 Saturday night in Ottawa, Ont. to improve their record to 2-0 on the season.

The Gaels waited out two weather delays and outscored the Gee-Gees 20-3 in the second half for the 10-point win.

Keenan (Ottawa, Ont.) was effective both through the air and on the ground for Queen's in the win, adding 54 yards on six carries. He connected with receiver Richard Burton (Ottawa, Ont.) six times for a team-high 93 yards, and found Ajang Chol (New Westminster, B.C.) in the end zone for a touchdown a 37-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

Running back Anthony Soles (Pointe Claire, Que.) had a second strong game in a row for the Gaels as well. Soles led all rushers with 96 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, marking his second game in a row with a score.

Queen's trailed the Gee-Gees 13-6 at half-time before the defence shut down Ottawa's offence in the second half, allowing just a field goal while the Gaels offence punched in two second-half touchdowns and two field goals.

Ashton Miller-Melancon (Montreal, Que.) and Stephane East (Toronto, Ont.) each recorded interceptions in the win for Queen's. For Miller-Melancon, who led the OUA in interceptions with four last year, it was a second straight game forcing a turnover.

Ethan Martin (London, Ont.) led Queen's defence in tackles with seven, while Van Wishart (Courtice, Ont.) finished with a sack in the win.

Kicker Tyler Mullan (North Bay, Ont.) had his second strong game for Queen's on the season, finishing 4-for-4 on field goal attempts, with a long of 38.
