GAELS DEFEAT GOLDEN HAWKS 1-0 TO WIN 2015 OUA CHAMPIONSHIP
By Queen's Sports Information
The Queen's women's soccer team defeated the Laurier Golden Hawks 1-0 on a goal from Tara Bartram to win the 2015 OUA Championship title.
This was the Gaels first OUA Championship win since they last won it in 2011. Queen's has won three national championships in their team history. Their first was in 1988, followed by back to back national championships wins in 2010 and 2011. Jessie de Boer (North Vancouver) is the only remaining player from their last national championship victory.
Coming in off of a penalty kick win over the undefeated York Lions in the OUA semifinals, the Gaels kept that momentum rolling into the OUA Championship on Sunday afternoon against the Laurier Golden Hawks. The first half saw both teams playing strong defensively but it was the Gaels attack that came out with most of the pressure as they fired 11 shots towards the goal but could not net one on Laurier's goalkeeper Ashely Almeida.
The second half featured the Golden Hawks beginning to take momentum on the offensive side as they were able to get eight shots off with three of them on target but Queen's goalkeeper Madison Tyrell (White Rock) made every save. The Gaels finally broke through offensively in the 69th minute when striker Tara Bartram (Vancouver) was able to get free on the left side of the 18-yard box striking the ball into the opposite side of the net to give Queen's a crucial 1-0 lead heading into the final 20 minutes of play. The Gaels defence came up strong once again in the dying minutes of the championship as they held the Golden Hawks attacks in check as they went on to win their first OUA Championship in five years.

QUEEN'S WINS OUA WOMEN'S SOCCER CHAMPONSHIP
By Claude Scilley, SportKingston
A goal by Tara Bartram in the game’s 69th minute gave the Queen’s Golden Gaels a 1-0 victory over the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks, and the Ontario University Athletics women’s soccer championship, Sunday afternoon in Ottawa.
Queen’s goalkeeper Madison Tyrell made six saves for the shutout, as the Gaels completed a four-game undefeated run through the OUA playoffs.
The goal was Bartram’s third of the playoffs, and her second game-winner. She scored with less than five minutes remaining in overtime as Queen’s defeated Toronto 1-0 in the first round.
It’s been a remarkable run for the Gaels, who, despite losing just two of 16 games in the regular year, nonetheless finished fourth in the East division, thanks to having played seven tie games, more than any other team in Canada.
From that relatively low starting point—one that led the Gaels to play all of their post-season games on the road—Queen’s won four consecutive games over teams that finished with better regular-season records: Toronto, Laurentian, York, the No. 2-ranked team in Canada, and Laurier, which began the provincial Final Four tournament as the sixth-ranked team in the nation.
Both Queen’s and Laurier will advance to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship tournament, beginning Thursday in Vancouver. The other conference champions declared Sunday are Cape Breton, Laval and British Columbia.
