In their final home game of the season and their annual Seniors' Night game, the Algoma Thunderbirds women's squad was downed by the Queen's Gaels, 67-34.
 
The Thunderbirds were in the tough, taking on the number 9 team in the country. The Gaels drew the first blood, jumping out 7-0. Algoma did a better job defensively, but struggled to get a good look on net. Mackenzie Robinson went 2-2 from beyond the arc to get Algoma on the scoreboard. Queen's heated up, stringing together a 9-point run to end the first quarter, 22-6.

Queen's defense stifled Algoma, forcing the Tbirds to stay outside the perimeter and find themselves in shot clock trouble. Algoma battled back getting within 8, holding Queen's to just 8 points in the second frame. Algoma outshot Queen's 15-8 in the second. The Thunderbirds shot 100 percent from the charity stripe and 39 percent from outside in the first half. Showing off their depth, the Gaels opened the second half with a 12-point run.

Gael Jenny Wright led the attack, driving Queen's to a comfortable 25-point cushion.  Queen's allowed Algoma just 6 points in the third. Unable to keep pace with the nationally-ranked squad, Algoma fell 67-34.
 
Mackenzie Robinson led the squad with 10 points. Captain Karissa Kajorinne had 8 boards in the losing effort. Jenny White had 16 points and 4 rebounds for Queen's.
