It was quite the battle - Q's vs Carleton. With 21 lead changes, the outcome of the game was not solidified until 0.00 registered on the clock. Unfortunately it was Carleton that finished with the 2 point advantage, 64-62.
The Carleton game also seemed to drain us mentally, as our performance in the first half against Ottawa was less than stellar. We dug ourselves into a 16 point hole by half and were only able to recover 2 of those points in the second half to fall 71-57. Detailed game reports are below, so I will jump to the next subject.

KINGSTON, Ont. (January 15, 2011) � The Queen's Gaels women's basketball team struggled out of the gate losing 71-57 to the Ottawa Gee-Gees on Saturday at the Athletics and Recreation Centre (ARC) in Kingston.
The loss is the Gaels second in as many games and they currently hold a 1-5 record at home. Queen's falls to 3-10 and are in a tie for sixth place of the OUA East with Laurentian at six points. The Gaels are two points behind Ryerson for fifth place. The win pushes Ottawa's record to 8-4 and they sit in third place with 16 points.
Brittany Moore of Hannon, Ont., broke double digit in scoring for the eighth consecutive game with 20 points. It's also the third time she has recorded 20 points this season and she was the game's leading scorer.

Ottawa opened with a 7-0 run before the Gaels got on board when Moore registered two points on foul shots. Ottawa would increase the lead to 11 points in the first quarter at 21-10. The Gee-Gees continued the pressure in the second quarter taking a 39-23 into the half.
Queen's would go on to win the next two quarters (18-17 and 16-15) but the first half damage was too much to overcome leading to a final of 71-57.
